Caramel cupcakes from The Primrose Bakery book. Officially named the victor in the half-term cupcake taste test. And these suckers are good.
Because turning 6 calls for a new level of sophistication. Though he tells me he doesn't want to get any bigger - apparently it's all downhill after 4.
Happy Birthday little Bean.

They look delish, I think I need that book!!

Six is quite a big responsibility.
I remember waking my mum up in the middle of the night on the eve of my ninth birthday to ask if I was still eight. I really wanted to stay eight.

mmmm... nice. must go and have breakfast... although nothing I have in the kitchen will taste nice now.
Mine can't wait to be 'teenagers'. Don't know what they think it means, but the thought sends me running for the woods.

Ooh, I've been meaning to buy tht book. The cake looks yummy. Happy birthday, lovely 6-year-old!
Please tell him not to worry - it's only the leap into double figures that's worth concerning himself with ;o)

Six is big!
But caramel cupcakes - I'm away from my own kitchen and on a diet anyway and you're killing me here!

Caramel Ummmmmmmmm Yum, they look divine.

That's funny, it didn't hit me until I was 14 that I didn't to grow any older.
Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday! And that caramel cupcake looks scrumptious! But will you be able to fit all six candles on top?

Mmmm - they look delicious.
Can't believe there's another baking book I really NEED to have now.
Happy belated birthday to your little boy - mine will become a teenager later this year and that is very scary indeed.
Posted by: Lynne | 20 February 2010 at 21:13
Mmmm looks delicious.
Your little one sounds wise. I couldn't wait to be a 'grown up' only now do I see the error of that way of thinking!
Posted by: Laura | 20 February 2010 at 21:50
