This swimming pool cake was a time consuming project. I got the idea for the major part of the cake from this site from the beaches theme and then kept on adding my own ideas. I know one thing for sure – will never use a Jello Jiggler for a pool again unless I can … Read more
This swimming pool cake was taken from an old Australian Women’s Weekly Cake book. I made it for my son’s 1st birthday. It was a replica of a cake my mother-in-law once made for my husband and it had the original (cupie?) dolls that were on my husband’s cake (yes my MIL had kept them … Read more
