It was Darling boy's 4th birthday this weekend and, being nuts about Spiderman, Superman and all things 'super', he had chosen a superhero theme. We went all-out for the fancy dress, and, as last time when the theme was pirates, the kids and grown-ups all dressed up. We had prizes in various categories, from best superhero accessory, to best mini-skirt in a superhero capacity.
Huge amounts of fun were had by all, lots of chasing around and dashing about- all brilliant stuff.
The cake I made for Darling boy was chocolate- to Darling boys request- was the same recipe as I used for Handsome husbands Granny's 90th birthday. It was iced in blue buttercream icing, with the customised logo made from royal icing and cut out with an art knife.
The accompanying superhero cupcakes are lemon, with matching stars and home-made superhero comic book style cupcake flags.
