And puppy dog tails....
Sunday, September 07, 2014
A couple if weeks ago I was invited to a baby shower organised by one of my close friends.
I'd been looking for something to take and while my actual present was actually organised by someone from work (Thank you!!!) I wanted to take something else with me.
When the lovely people at Baker Days contacted me about trying one of their letter box cakes I thought the baby shower would be the perfect opportunity for a cake.
My friend also makes Nappy Cakes, I know it's slightly blury but I wanted to show you how amazing it was.
The sponge was a nice vanilla sponge, they also have a number of other options including wheat and gluten free. They also have dairy free options.
The icing is very sweet and attached with a thin layer of buttercream so you get that to break up the cake and icing ratio. You can also personalise the icing with your own design or picture. I asked Baker Days to come up with their own design.
I was a bit nervous about going as my usual plus one was on holiday and as we all know i'm not a baby person and I only knew 3 other people at the shower but I had a lovely afternoon. I got to spend time with my friend and her little girl is about 14 months and a bit more robust now so we had a lovely time playing with her Peppa Pig mobile.
The mummy to be was also spoilt rotten, this is just the tip of the present iceberg and apart from a small child running full whack into a pole dancing pole a good time was had by all!
Do you like the idea of cake in the post? I think this is a lovely idea and a real treat for someone you love.
The cake was provided free of charge but all opinions are my own.

My friend kindly let me put it on the buffet table and it fitted in really well with the other cupcakes they had ordered.

My friends mum cut the cake and it was lovely and fresh, I know it is letterbox sized but I was still expecting jam and cream. I think this was expecting too much because otherwise it wouldn't have fitted through the letterbox.
