I have this book and have had it since it came out. I have made many of these cakes for my childrens birthdays and also to take to school to share on their birthdays. Now I have grandchildren Have had for 22 years) I have made them birthday cakes as well. I am about to make an Aussie Rules football cake for my youngest grandson’s 8th birthday. I may need to tweek it a little to modernise it.
