Back to blogging ... Ben 10 and Octonauts party

I have been a very bad blogger…in fact I have not been a blogger at all for months!  My last post was just before the children started their summer holiday.  So that explains 2 months silence.  Since they have returned the days and weeks have been flying past.

I have made 3 major cakes.  One for each of the kiddies!

The latest was for James, 5 my boys’ boy.  He is the easiest boy to buy presents for – he loves everything boyish…sharks, planes, Lego, Octonauts and under the sea, Ben 10 , Dinosaurs….. I could go one.  He gives me a brief every year and this year he wanted a combined cake of Octonauts and Ben 10 (although this did change in the days leading up to the party – but it was too late!).  I thought this was even trickier to do than last years dinosaurs and sharkie cake!

I decided on an Octonauts Rescue Mission of Ben 10 and his character Rath.
 


We had a large party with all the boys from his reception class.  I decided to make Ben 10 and Octonaut Cake pops and shark cupcakes for their party bags.

Shark cupcakes
These shark cupcakes were so quick and easy but looked so effective with some blue and white 'sea' buttercream piped on top...as I am out of blogger practice I did not take picture on how to make the fins, but I'll try to do some more soon.
