1st Birthday Cake

At the end of August my family celebrated my niece, Isla's, first birthday. It was a busy weekend as my parents were moving house and I also celebrated my 28th birthday. 

As the resident cake maker in the family, my brother and sister-in-law asked if I would make Isla's cake. They picked Isla's favourite story book, Dear Zoo, as the theme...

Being a perfectionist, or maybe just a faffer, it took me ages to make all the animals but I was pretty pleased with outcome and so was the birthday girl and her parents! Phew.
