Off we went to the shops to buy some chocolate to make a chocolate cake. Then back home via the park. Of course, I just had to take my turn on the zip wire! It wasn't long before the cold made the decision for us to get home and get baking.
We decided to make a Teddy Bear cake. I got the mould and recipe ready.
We did a good job with our joint effort to make the cake.
However, he rose a bit too much in the oven. When it came to turning him out onto the wire rack...he fell apart. First he lost his head...then a paw...then another paw...
My 7 year old niece said "don't worry teddy, you're just going to have an operation" as we melted chocolate to 'glue' him back together.
Here's the finished bear...not quite the same as the one in the magazine...
He has a 'real' teddy bear nose, a bow tie and chocolate sprinkles on a layer of melted chocolate to give him a fur coat. Much needed in this weather!
Until tomorrow,
Nic xx
