More birthday cakes for nieces! This is for my 9 year old greatniece, who once said to me..." No one makes ME a nice cake" (she was looking at my princess castle cake at the time).
Well, her Grandma asked me to make her a small cake for her birthday tea, nothing too big, just a small family tea. I had a problem with the small cake idea, because I remember my great niece's comment last year. I knew she likes pink and lilac, and she also likes butterflies. So, I thought she might like faeries too....especially one she can keep after the cake was eaten......here it is, hope it meets my usual standard! And I hope the birthday girl feels she now has a special cake too:)
