This weekend’s cake, for someone who was rather less than 70. (She’s four, and very deep in a princess phase.)
A cake made to look like the skirt of a ballgown, with a Barbie doll stuck in it so the whole thing looks like a princess in a massive pink dress. A slice of vanilla sponge with pink buttercream and pink icing

Happy birthday, @jonturney.bsky.social.
Here is the cake I made at the weekend.
A cheese board made entirely of different cakes that look like cheeses.

Every time we visit the storage unit I am a bit sad we’re not part of a high-octane chase sequence

I'm in Groningen in the Netherlands for work. So far, trippy lifts, chocolate sprinkles for breakfast, canals, bikes, little walks, a blissful night's sleep, and @lyngardnertheatre.bsky.social quotes at the theatre company we're here to visit. I like it here.

A selection of jams and spreads on a breakfast buffet, including a pot of chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag). Photo of some buildings and boats along a canal in Groningen. A Lyn Gardner quote at the HQ of NITE theatre company. Black text on a white wall reads "Theatres should be the new town squares, not monasteries."

Taught the boy how to stay safe on the ice by walking like a penguin. We didn't fall over (several near-misses!) but it did take us a very long time to waddle to school.
