I have long admired the rainbow layer cake. With so many of them popping up around the place, every time I think to myself... I'll give that a crack one day. And my littlest babe turning two this week was the perfect opportunity to finally try it out. Phew! I am glad the boy's birthdays are six months apart. As fun as it was to bake six individual cakes and whip up two double batches of butter cream, I think I need a nice gap to prepare for the next cake inspiration to unfold.
Today we had a lovely little celebration with some wonderful friends. The children were so beautifully behaved and had a great time running around keeping warm, despite the freezing cold temperature. It seems such a long time ago when my darling Felix entered the world. Yet I remember the precious moment like yesterday. As with his big brother, I will never forget his sweet baby breath in those first seconds after he was born. As bizarre as it sounds, I honestly wish I could bottle that scent. There is simply nothing as pure and fresh. He is a dynamo, our little man, but we all adore him so very much and the spark he has brought into our lives.
Wowsers that is one mean cake..nice job! I have avoided this cake in fear of absolutely stuffing it up or just scared of the work involved I am not sure. We have a 2 year old birthday next month, isn't it a magic age. I love it, apart from their stubborness it is still so innocent!x

ReplyDeletego mum! that looks awesome Julie! I love love love the smartie rainbow! well done, birthday cakes mean lots of planning and preparation - and icing! - in this house too. he must have been so rapt. and happy birthday little man! x
ReplyDeleteOh yum....I've admired this cake for so long, how clever you are.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun was had by all, and there may just have been a litle cake left for tomorrows morning tea!!
Happy Birthday to Felix :) You did an amazing job with the cake. I'm another one who has admired the rainbow cake and thought I must give it a go sometime. Maybe I will save it for Noah's first bday cake. I have a bit of time up my sleeve ;) xx
