Sam is 2

It's tough with boy number two trying to do a different set of cakes to the first. Tristan had Fireman Sam and Samuel got Thomas the Tank Engine) - or that was the aim.

The finished cake, or, viewed together, 'Thomas and his range of edible train-related nibbles'!

On the plus side everyone agreed it was a train, but there was much debate as to whether it was Gordon or Thomas. I think where I went wrong was doing the face a few days before the rest and not having the scale quite right!

The calm before the storm.

We were really lucky with the weather and the kids all got to play outside.
