There is only one thing happening here all weekend – Preparing for the big 5th Birthday party of Miss 4! She officially turned five last Wednesday but has decided not to get any older until tomorrow with all her friends here. Hence, I have spent all day today and the better part of the week, preparing this extravaganza of pinkness.  There will be balloons, cake, lollies and all the other pre-requisites for inducing comas in five year olds.  The big news of the day is that we have a Unicorn coming!  This means that I have just unglued my fingers after creating his horn.  I won’t spoil it with all the details, but I will give you a blow by blow account after the big day.  So until then I shall continue icing my kitchen bench and hoping some of it ends up on the cake!

About the way I look right now...

Please be entertained whilst I continue my cooking madness…….
