When a cake is not simply a cake…

Come the 2nd of February this year this sweet boy is turning 21.

As I did for The Daughter…the plan was to make a cake. Something like this one…

Classy – maybe not so girly, but still – well – nice.

Thanks to The Daughter I am now making The Son a different style of cake…very, very different.

Cake number 1

A banana cake just out of the oven…

Cake number 2

Also straight out of the oven – but this time a chocolate one…

Any of you bright sparks out there figured out what this cake will look like when finished ??

I’ll keep you posted as I go shall I ??

I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

    1. Thanks Didi – he has to work on the day – but the barbecue should be fun on Saturday. I am looking forward to it as I get to see his new house for the first time, and meet his partner’s family.

    1. You are so twisted – and almost right – it is two boobs…

      The parts I am worried about are the nipples though – how to make them without looking fake…

  8. Your third evil follower – as soon as I saw the second cake I said, “Okay, what do 21 year old guys like to see, that come in pairs? I KNOW!” Comes from having a husband and two sons, I guess.
