Next birthdays: MH and Elizabeth

This week is another round of birthdays. Monday( today ) is MH birthday. Beats me what the plans are! He's not a dessert fan so I'm not offering to make the cake. And then on Saturday they are celebrating Elizabeth's 3rd. My parents are hosting it at the Raffles Town Club. They went shopping yesterday and bought her a bicycle as well. I offered to make the cake. ( Felt bad if I didn't offer ). I was going to try and make the Angelina Ballerina cake, but after Googling 'Princess cake' the first thing that came up was actually the 'doll-in-the-cake' idea. I think I'm sold. Rushed out Saturday lunch time to find MH a gift, AND buy the Barbie doll that will be going into the cake. Initially I wanted to get some el cheapo doll for the cake, but they didn't look that nice. So Barbie it is. I think Friday shall be cake making day. It's buttercream, so less complicated than the fondant AngelinaB cake. I still need to get more supplies from a cake making shop.. MH got a Bodum french press from us. He's a coffee fan, but I'm not sure he'd make his own?? It's the thought that counts right?
