Recipe - Birthday Cake for Isaac's 7th Birthday


Isaac’s birthday cake was inspired by this image http://www.ivillage.com/sports-party-kids-birthday-cake/6-b-295586 as he loves his basketball and soccer.

The cake on the inside was simply the marble cake recipe that you can’t go wrong with https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4027749285670807303#editor/target=post;postID=1700243939101595233;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=0;src=postname, just with the qty’s doubled as it was a large cake tin.

Spotlight came in handy for the cake board and icing – just add dye and water!

I'm content with the result as I haven't really done cake decorating before.

Getting My Paleo On - Granola

Why have I not made my own Granola before??? It is so quick and easy!

I simply put the following into a blender:
Walnuts
Cashews
Silvered almonds
Craisons
Goji berries
Dried Apricot
Desiccated coconut
Coconut oil
Maple syrup

I blended it to the consistency I like.

Into the oven to bake at 180 till it was baked to my liking.

Done!

Nb all the nuts were unsalted
