Last year, a couple of weeks before his birthday, Puggle chose his cake. At the same time, he chose his cake for this year! And he has continued to be consistant in his choice (he’d flick through the cake book, and identify the Tipper Truck as “the cake I’m going to have for my fourth birthday”).
So he did:-)
The instructions were from the Children’s Birthday Cake Book which was the book my mother had when we were growing up (in fact, she made this same cake for my brother’s 6th or so birthday:-) ).
