Just because I spend most of my free time around children doesn't mean I've forgotten what adults like either. Here are some examples of 'grown up' cakes. Making a child's birthday cake is something every parent will face in their lifetime. Luckily some great ideas from the Women's Weekly cookbooks, patience and lots and lots of love has made this daunting task quite fulfilling. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Melbourne Museum is a wonderful, educational and inexpensive place to visit. (FREE for children, teachers - that's me, concession holders and I think pensioners too. Everyone else $6). We often spend a few hours in Alannah's favourite exhibits. The dinosaurs, the rainforest and the Children's Gallery. Not to mention the outside play area. Just don't forget to think creatively when your children decide to play with the dress ups! Alannah's a Mermaid if you couldn't tell). The Royal Botanic Gardens.
