Purple Cake

Duncan celebrated his birthday last week,

and as per usual,

Oscar gave the specifications for the birthday cake,

purple and sparkly

It turned out much darker than expected, pretty much due to

the gel food colouring being much more potent than expected.

We sang happy birthday, had some cake and then popped Oscar

off to bed.

Once he was asleep Duncan and I had a 1970's

menu dinner party (Duncan was born in the 1970's)

*

STARTER

Prawn Cocktail

*

MAIN

Steak Diane - with a selection of vegetables

*

DESSERT

Black Forest Gateaux

And alcohol free wine 

(this is probably the nicest alcohol free wine I have tried so far)

Don't worry about Oscar missing out on dinner,

he got to lick the icing bowl ;-)
