The boys made their favourite ladybird cakes last Thursday! We make ordinary fairy cakes then decorate them like this....
We made some red butter icing to cover the cakes with then rolled out a small amount of black regal icing. Jordan did a great job at doing this! (I love how Bob the Tomato's eyes are peering over the table from Jordan's t-shirt at the icing!)
Next we cut the black icing into circles & cut each circle in half. We put a sammy circle (what the twins call semi-circles!) on the edge of the cake as the ladybird's head!
Using writing icing we drew a line down the middle of the ladybird to make the wing casings & then added chocolate buttons remembering to eat a few as we went along!!!!!!
Lastly the boys made little white eyes from more icing, used a black food colouring pen to add pupils & then used a very small circle cutter to make a smiling mouth!
And this is the finished result (click on the photo to see it better)! Each of the boys made 5 ladybirds each. Jordan pretty much did the whole lot of decorating himself which he loved! Timmy & Luke needed a little more guidance but were really into creating the ladybirds. The boys enjoyed looking at all the different expressions their ladybirds had but most of all they LOVED eating them! They were YUMMY! ;O)

Very munch-worthy! I look forward to making a close inspection of the next batch some day...
Love Ken xxxxxx
You all make it look so easy! I would say I will have to try out decorating some ladybirds myself with James but I am not sure I am brave enough! How you manage to get your three to concentrate enough for the whole process is great! We have only attempted packet mixes with Thomas or Postman Pat icing picuteres so far, and I don't think I would show them on a blog! Hee! Yours are all ace! xxx
