My boys made me an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G birthday cake!
It is a Pinata Cake *big smile*
Husband of Mine mixed up the cake batter… {not sure if he had a helper?}
…and while it was baking Dino Boy got down to the important task of licking the beater

While the cake was left to cool…
Dino Boy helped his dad get the icing ready

Next thing the cake lost it’s top!
Before being iced and filled to the brim with lollies!! 
Husband of Mine then made a chocolate dome to cover the amazing cake *smile*
It was fiddly business, requiring all manner of power tool!?
{mmm, yes that is a paint stripper… otherwise known as a chocolate resurfacer!}
And ta da!
How fan-tab-ulous is this cake!!
Now… we can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to in the kitchen with your kids!

Happy lil ❤’s are baking ~ Bread and Jam Pudding

What did you bake or cook with your kids this week?

Below is a linky list so you can join in the fun and start sharing what you bake with your kids! Family favourites, new recipes, cultural or traditional recipes – you name it, we’d like to read about them, and if you include the details, try them out 🙂 

With the cold weather here we made Bread and Jam Pudding!

It is just like bread and butter pudding without the sultanas and using jam instead
{I’m not fond of sultanas in hot food….}

We used:
5 slices of white bread
strawberry jam 
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
vanilla to taste
nutmeg
Dino Boy spread jam on the bread before eating a piece and going to eat another!
{we started with 6 pieces, but 5 ended up been fine}
Then we placed our bread in our dish…

Next we made a simple custard…. firstly we beat the eggs and sugar
Then we added the milk and vanilla ~ beating some more for a smooth consistency
Dino Boy then poured it carefully over the bread
Before sprinkling nutmeg on top
Into the oven it went for about 45 minutes at 180°C (350F)

We enjoyed ours warm for dessert, served with a good vanilla ice cream *smile*

Delicious!!

We can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to in the kitchen with your kids!
