| Try this time saving idea and create an original | | | | Dumpty?) Too hard, too tiring and not enough |
| cake. It's birthday time. And it is time for you to | | | | time. OK. Lets try something novel. Why not |
| arrange your child's birthday party. There is so | | | | make (or buy) enough cupcakes for each child to |
| much to think about and do. Firstly you need to | | | | have one. Cover with plain frosting. And then... Let |
| find some invitations and write on them. This is | | | | the Children decorate. All you need do is to set |
| after arguing about how many can come and | | | | out an array of candies, sprinkles and chocolates. |
| who to invite. You will need to come up with a | | | | And let each child decorate their own cupcake. |
| menu of food and then either buy it or make it. | | | | For smaller children just let them decorate which |
| There are the decorations. Balloons, streamers, | | | | ever way they like. But for older children, maybe |
| table cloth, banners...... The party favors for all the | | | | you could set a theme. You could even go as far |

| do? Well by this stage there is no budget left | | | | This not only solves the cake issue but keeps |
| (that blew out at the invitation stage). Do you | | | | them occupied for ages. And to cherish the |
| make something? You could. But of course your | | | | moment, why not take a photo of each child's |
| child wants a cake that looks like a dalmatian | | | | completed cake. Until our next Cooking Encounter |
