As well as the new chicks which arrived recently, a much more exciting and important family member has been welcomed to the clan. Handsome husband's uncle and his wife have adopted a 3 year old little girl after years and years of longing for children. It's such wonderful news and it was a real treat to finally meet her. They live in Germany which means a recent visit over was our first opportunity to meet the loveliness that is Darling boy and Little brother's new cousin.
In honour of our new cousin's first visit to Devon, I baked her a 'Welcome to the Family' cake. Since I have two boys, I got pretty excited about the chance to 'go girly'. I was feeling in a novelty mood, so shaped the cake in the silhouette of our new cousin's initial (making good use of my new bundt tin too) The glittery pink buttercream icing went down a storm, as did the sweeties all over it and the chocolate sponge inside.
