My Baby is a TEEN!

The years have flown and my baby boy has become a teenager!

Harry was 13 on Jan 24th and for his party this year wanted a sleepover with friends, go-karting followed by traditional party food.
Two friends from his junior school and two new friends from his new secondary school joined him along with his twin sisters Hannah and Laurice (both talented cake decorators who will be eleven on Valentine's Day).

We went to a brilliant indoor go-karting venue in Walsall called Ace Karting http://www.acekartingplusinfo.co.uk/. They looked after us all so well. The team were taken off for a briefing before going onto the track in the karts. They then had to follow the Marshall around the track until he was satisfied they could manage the karts (including stopping safely).



Harry in a hurry, for a change!




Timed laps followed in stages until the Grand Prix Final itself. The Stewards and Marshall kept a close eye on each driver throughout although I had trouble watching some of the faster ones going round some of the tighter bends.








Afterwards the results were announced and the boys were presented with medals on the winners rostrum.

The Winners!



Paddy was the winner with Harry second and Ben third. Lots of pictures were taken which the manager emailed to us later that evening.

We all had a great time and I gave Harry his Go-Karting chocolate mud birthday cake, a surprise,as he was expecting it to be an Xbox!

Does anyone know the answer to 3 down?

Charlie is 90 and doesn't he look great!

I think this is one of my favourite cakes so far.
Charlie doesn't get out too much now but loves to spend time sitting on his favourite chair with a crossword puzzle.

 

Getting behind with posts!

Jan 5th and I still haven't got round to posting pictures of any Christmas cakes, plus several more made around Christmas. I have one cake to get on with today and tomorrow then I will get down to posting more pics!
