Happy Friday

 
Thank you so very much for leaving such sweet words on my self portrait, I really, really appreciate your comments always and love that you liked the cake in progress as well.  

Sorry I didn't manage to reply personally to you but you all had me smiling with your sweetness.
 
I thought I'd share the finished cake with you, it was made for an order for a spaceship crazy 3 year old boy and inspired by this awesome illustration.  

I have been told the cake was delicious but you know that's all good to hear from the parents but what I absolutely loved was the look on this sweet little boys face when he saw it...priceless!


Hope you are enjoying your Friday, we have been enjoying the rain outside and hoping it will stop for the weekend festivities.

 

Hugs and thanks again for making me smile and hello to new friends that are joining along ♥

    Ah, you already know I love this, and it would have taken SO MUCH more skill & patience than scribbling on some paper...! I love that the b'day boy was in awe, that's what birthday cakes should be about.

    Fantastic Cake! Look at all that rain water! I'm teaching at school today, we have just been told the boarders have been sent home from school early in case all the roads are flooded they wouldn't be able to get home for the weekend! Happy wet, wet Friday!

    Cathie, it's really wet here too and my fella has just left for the grampians (maybe 5 1/2 hour drive)- I hope he doesn't float away. Love that bottom photo, could have been taken in my back yard when I was a kid- back in the old days when we had rain regularly!

    love that aiden has his shoes/soxs still on up to the ankles in a puddle :)
    what a great cake - can't imagine how hard it is to get the fondants in just the right colours, and to stick in just the right places (and stay there).
    have a lovely weekend cathie and all your lovely family on your outings !

    Totally dig the cake, it's super cute! We have been tempted with rain all week. Wish it would just pour over here. In the mood for it and if I can take it away from you even better :)

    Oh, Cathie...I've decided to keep a running tally of the number of times I gasp out loud when your blog loads. This is a work of art.

    Wow, super cake, and I love the self-portrait! I wasn't brave enough to share one, what with being full of cold (and extremely camera-shy...)
