As a family with two little boys we said good bye to our family, friends, playgroup, beaches, playgrounds and everything we held dear for a two year adventure. Destination: Denver, Colorado. What did we know about it? John Denver liked it around here didnt he?

Toddlers embrace a new world with the wonder, enthusiasm and passion. Charlie said to me the other day. "Mum I just learnt about fall, its like autumn... but do pumpkins fall from the sky in fall?" I want to look at this adventure with the same sense of fun. So this is my attempt....

Volcano Cake

The next in the series is Charlie's 4th Birthday Volcano Cake.  I have no idea where this idea came from. It is certainly not in the Cake Book.

First step was making the flames.  I smashed up red and orange lollypops and melted them down.

I was quite pleased with the result..
Next I made two of my favourite chocolate zucchini cakes in ring tins and stacked them on top of each other. Covered them in chocolate ganache, sprinkles of red sugar and lava. The six candles banded together made a great high flame.
