Yesterday little S turned 2 years old. We have entered his third Winter, his third Christmas approaches. His current favourite word / thing is 'elephant'. So I had to attempt an elephant cake. I made the banana cake again, with cream cheese icing again. This time with some frozen blueberries blended up and added to the icing to make it more elephant-coloured. And then decorated with a dried blackcurrant for the eye, and poppy seeds to make the ear. I actually doubled the recipe for the cake, but one circular cake would have been perfect - the bits I cut off were sufficient for the bits I wanted to add back on, with just a tiny bit left over. And one tub of cream cheese' worth of icing would have been just right too - I have a lot of icing left over. The remaining cake went with S to vuggestue today (they don't allow sugar, but honey and bananas were OK - I checked last Friday); will have to find a use for the icing. He recognized it as an elephant (that was my main goal!)!
