Happy birthday me!

This is the real-life-birthday, rather than the blog birthday - and although today will be quite quiet, I spent the past couple of days in Bristol seeing Colin (cos it's his birthday too!) and my ex-housemate and joint-bestie Mel.  And because everyone should have a birthday cake at least near their birthday, I took one to Colin.  It looked a little the worse for wear after a train journey and wandering around Bristol for ages, but this is what it looked like initially...

Despite having made hundreds of cakes, I've never really decorated one.  This does look like a child made it, but I was pretty pleased for a first attempt with fondant icing etc.!
