Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens...

....Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things! So the song goes, anyway.

But on the cake I'm doing for Sunday, the 30 year old birthday boy's favourite things include:

• Spiderman
• CDs
• a Power drill
• a Bottle of Leffe beer
• Dumb bells
• a Crown with 'Princess Katie' (that's his girlfriend, who ordered the cake!)
• a Playstation
• a Lawnmower

And all of these things are going on the cake!!! I'm making little models representing them all. As usual, not scale models - but things that are a representation! I've done the dumb bells, crown and lawnmower. I've done the beer bottle, but need to do the lables for it.

The cake is baked, filled and marzipanned. The cake board is covered. It's being picked up on Sunday morning, so I've all tomorrow to work on it (well, all tomorrow except for when I'm out from 9.30am - 11.30am for the boys' swimming lessons and then out from about 1.20pm - 2.15pm for Matthew's piano lesson!!) I'm out tonight so that's one whole evening I wont' have.
