Following on from the Maypole cake we come to that most magical treat, a childs birthday cake.

Whether fruit cake or sponge, home-made or shop bought even the most modest cake can, with a modicum of imagination, be transformed into a thing of magic.

The first is a simple gateau that uses where possible some of the childs own toys.

The second  is a bit more formal and possibly a tad out-moded but with a little imagination it could be converted into a nifty little lap-top!

Finally in this selection from the ‘Womans Own’ cake book there is one for the little ones. Humpty Dumpty may be somewhat ‘old school’ and toy soldiers somewhat out-dated but there’s no reason why Humpty couldn’t  preside over figures from a current TV programme or a favourite movie.
