Grayson turns.... CAKE! No... TWO! No.... TWO CAKE


Cake number 1

Well, for the past few weeks, mummy and daddy have been asking me "Grayson, how old are you going to be this birthday?"
Now, whenever I hear the word BIRTHDAY, the next word that comes naturally to me is CAKE!
So I try and say...."Cake! Cake! Cake! CAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!" Then I do a little dance and this seems to make everybody laugh.
It is all about keeping people happy you see.
So last weekend, I threw a little soiree at chez cook. We had balloons, pinatas and lots of colourful lanterns hanging off the walls.
Mummy and daddy had their friends over to drink some bubbly stuff, whilst I had my friends over and we ate lots of CAKE!
As you can see, Daddy really came through this year - not that I didn't appreciate last year's pirate ship. But this cake was a bit more technically challenging owing to him having to work with three colours of fondant, not to mention having to do some detailed work making Ferrari badges and such. The black wheels were made entirely of black fondant icing - which I found out about after picking one up and taking a large chunk out of with my teeth....
Fortunately Daddy managed to cut me a piece of real cake (and some for everyone else too)!
On Tuesday (the actual birthday) I had a cake made with more fondant icing and race cars on top which I took to day care and then in the evening we had this delightful chocolate and raspberry concoction which went down very quickly, as all the grown ups ate all of their pieces (I had to act fast to get mine and another piece down).
Mummy and Daddy bought me a lovely train set and I also got a table to put the train on too. I got lots of cars and books and even some items of clothing too!
All up it was quite a satisfying birthday week. Three cakes, 2 pinatas (because mummy internet shops and gets impatient when things don't arrive), two parties and several bottles of champagne for mummies and daddies (mummy and daddy monster edit - We opened a bottle of 2000 Dom Perignon at 3pm to celebrate our favourite little monster's day of birth).
But the main question is.... what on earth is daddy going to make for me next year???
