Six.

Today is E's birthday - six. This age really feels like the beginning of a new stage. I guess the 0-5 years are 'little' so that makes 6 the start of the 'bit bigger kid' years. Or something like that.

We celebrated his birthday with a small gathering in the park. A handful of his mates from school came along and played, ate and played some more. The sun shone for the whole day (as tends to happen on this boy's birthday, remarkably for mid-winter) and it really was pleasant for everyone.




I had my first crack at a 'kiddie' cake. It turned out OK, I suppose, so long as no-one looked too closely at the bodgy icing. Somehow I don't think I'll be giving up the day job for cake decorating any time soon...!

Aw Happy Birthday to your little man! I can make cupcakes no probs but all attempts at birthday cakes so far have been pitiful!

Happy Birthday E-man! I love your cake, gorgeous! And what a stunning day for it....

That's none so shabby. Realistically you go to all that effort and then the kids descend upon it like half starved urchins that they are, and all that effort becomes a cut up, mushed up mess!!

Cake looks awesome. Well done you!

Happy 6th Birthday to E. yep - there is a big difference between 0-5 and 6+. Closer to 10. =(

Happy birthday to your boy. I think your cake looks like the sort a kid would LOVE to have for his or her party, and that's the main thing, not how neatly you apply the icing, surely?
