Sam is a huge Batman fan so his mum knew exactly what type of cake he would love! She called me up and I set about creating something to make him smile! He told everyone in school including the teachers that he was getting a Batman cake for his party so I knew I had to do a good job!
Thankfully he was thrilled with the result!

Mother, Toddler & Baby Show & National Baking Week!
As it is National Baking Week this week why not grab your little people and a few ingredients and get them into the kitchen to make some buns! They will love it.
Here is a wonderfully simple recipe from Nigella Lawson – all in one bowl – super easy! Make sure you have some lovely toppings ready for the the little ones to use to decorate the cakes! You can use smarties, sprinkles, chopped chocolate, lots of cake decorations that come in all shapes and sizes, silver balls, and even small sugar coated gummy sweets! Though be careful as big sweets can cause choking!
Your little people will have a great time decorating their own cakes! (If baking your own is just to much to bear you could use shop bought buns & biscuits too)! This photo is from the Mother & Baby show in Estepona this month where my 2 absolutely loved the Krafty Kids stand where they could decorate their own biscuits and buns – although I think they ate most of the toppings before they made it to the cakes! The girls there were great and didn’t mind at all. They even wrapped the end results so the kids could take them home! They arrange parties too, however unique, messy or creative, they can provide all the necessary equipment to make your childs day as special as it should be. Contact them on krafty_kids@hotmail.com or call Karen on 690 727 602.
Some of the exhibitors included Indybel .com – who are a wonderful online store for Mums and Mums to Be! They have so many wonderful products you won’t know which to choose. And if you need to organise a baby shower here in Spain there are the people for you. And as the weather is so changeable at the moment their Buggy Brolly is an absolute must! I love it! You can find it here - http://www.indybel.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1 and even better if you spend over 75 Euros on their site you will get a free portable high chair!
Another exhibitor was the wonderful girls at Fiesta Fiesta Parties.com.

Kidz Kingdom had a great play area at the show and were offering 50% off their membership fee (which I jumped at of course as my little people cannot get enough of the place). Other exhibitors included Red Photography who offered great discount on a studio session – I have first hand experience of these guys – they did my kids portraits and even managed to get my little one to sit still – unheard of! The photographs were great and now on display in various family member houses as well as my own. Contact them on 664 553 968 or visit their website http://www.redphotographyspain.com/ . Also worth a visit is Elle Morgan – they had 2 great stands at the show and were offering to measure your kids feet (for free) – a rarity in Spain – now I know my kids correct sizes. They offer the Start-rite shoes with half sizes and up to 6 width fitting you can get the perfect fit for little ones tootsies. They are setting up an online store at present or your can visit them in Laguna Village, Estepona or in the Crocs Concept store, downstairs in Marina Banus. http://www.ellemorgan.com/F8/ or call Catherine on 697 378 978 for more info their healthy feet campaign.
~The girls from Swim Bebe Swim were there too! I can honestly tell you they have great learn to swim classes, my kids loved them and they also offer Aqua Gym classes and Aqua Natal classes (gentle exercise in water) I loved these – especially towards the end of my pregnancy as they refreshed and invigorated me. They offer classes up and down the coast. Contact them on http://www.swimbebeswim.com/ or call Nathalie on +34 609 474 038.
The girls from Kids in Marbella.com were there. Their site is a font of great information from what's on to where to buy school uniform, where to go on a day out, useful online sites and great kid related shops and products. All tried and tested by the girls or their contributors. Check them out on http://kidsinmarbella.com/ .
Among all the exhibitors one of my kids favourites was the bouncy castle (of course!) Trumps Bouncy Castles hire these out for private parties at really reasonable rates, for more info call 667 242 193 or visit www.trumpsfunhire.com
Oh and before I forget here is the Recipe
Nigella and I do it all in the food processor. But you can make them by hand by creaming the butter and the sugar , then adding the beaten eggs and flour in alternate tablespoons. Use milk to bind, and if using this method you won't need the extra baking powder.
125g self –raising flour, unsalted butter (v v very soft but not melting), caster sugar
2 eggs
1-2 tsps vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
few tbsps milk
For the icing follow instructions on back of packet! (although making it a little runnier than usual is easier for the kids)
Preheat oven to 220*C / Gas 6
Line bun tray with paper cases. Add everything to the processor except for the milk, add a pinch of salt and blitz until mixed. Add the 2 tbsps milk and process again until you have a smooth, flowing cake batter. Cook for 15-20mins and cool on a wire rack.
When cool give to the kids to decorate, stand back and let them have some fun!
