Happy birthday, Elizabeth

Happy birthday to gorgeous Elizabeth, who turned 3 today! We had a lovely party for her at home with lots of good friends to celebrate with.

I made her a koala cake:

The decorations went up along with pin-the-nose on the koala:

    Happy belated birthday to Elizabeth and a Happy New Year to all the Martins! There is a definite similarity between the koala cake and Freud, Rach!

    Love the photos! Looks as though a lovely birthday celebration was had by all especially the Birthday Girl. Very clever cake-making, Rachel. Happy New Year to the Martins!!! The hydrangeas are looking good.

      I think the koala worked out better than the Makka Pakka cake last year. Happy New Year to you too!

    3 years old! I remember when you first met – and now all these years later your gorgeous wee daughter is 3. Happy birthday Elizabeth. And all the best to you all for 2013.

    What a swell party this was, but is that fur on the koala cake?

      Faux fur. Made from desiccated coconut.
