WOYWW

 



It won't win prizes but I know a six year old who will love it!

I decided if I popped the candles onto the rowing boat then we could lift it off in order to blow out the candles (Thinking Covid safety here!)

Update: yes he loved it and we had a socially distanced "cake and candles" get together so we could sing "Happy Birthday" and give him his pressies. Not what normally happens but then times are not the same as last year. He quite enjoyed several little celebration events so I don't think it mattered too much.

Well, that's it for this week's WOYWW.

It's a wet day here and very Autumnal but we have had wonderful weather over the last few weeks and I guess the garden needs the rain.

Have a great week.

xx Jo

    I love the cake and it brought back happy memories of when my two nephews were younger, they adored pirates. What a clever idea to remove the boat with the candles - I think it's a great idea for kid's cakes even without a pandemic! So glad you had a nice birthday get together with him.
    Have a good week,

    Oh this cake is terrific! I'll have to share it with my neighbor. I just blogged about the pirate ship tree house she just finished building for her grandchildren. Love the figurines and the removable boat candles ~ Very clever. I'm glad you were able to celebrate ~ enjoy the rest of your week!

    That's a great cake! Doesn't time fly - 6 already. Our eldest granddaughter was 13 yesterday, cannot believe it. Couldn't give her a hug :-(
    Take care, stay safe. Anne x 26

    Six already, good grief. love his cake, and a brilliant way to deal with blowing out the candles! I’m glad to read your edit, I bet however unlike his other birthdays, he’ll have enjoyed this just as much, it’s all about being made to feel special, huh.

    Yes, we should be thankful for the rain now - the earth so needs it at the moment.
    Love the birthday cake and what a super job you made of it, quite professional looking. What I like is the forward thinking about blowing out the candles - we all have had cake with goodness knows how many germs on in the past. Good to be safer than sorry nowadays though.
    Hugs, Neet 7 xx

    Lovely cake and clever to think of taking off the candles for blowing out. Would be lovely to think that his seventh birthday will be back to normal. Yes, autumn has arrived! Angela #23
