World Class World Cup Cakes!

 

Like me you may not be a huge football fan however a world cup final involving the country you live in and where your kids where born is definitely worth watching. And when they won – well lets say we celebrated well into the night. Wheyhey!

Football and cake – that's combination I can handle (me and my cake making friends too!) Look what they have done with our cake topper – you could have fantastic world cup celebrations with these!

Well done Spain – a well deserved win (sorry Holland but there was a lot of dirty play going on!)

If you are football crazy and football mad you too can have your own celebration and get a World Cup Cake or cupcakes – just email me at  info@theicingonthecakespain.com –maybe you want your favourite football team instead –no problem we can do that too, just let us know which team is yours and we can arrange it for you!

 

Cake Tastic!

Have whatever novelty cake you like and eat every last bit too!

 

Do you have an idea for a cake but not sure who can make it? Well look no further…

Heidi from Heidi Dream Cakes is the bees knees when it comes to making cakes. She can do anything from a Pirate ship to Lightning McQueen, wonderful cupcakes to wedding cakes. If you have an idea but think it can’t be done, ask Heidi and I bet she can do it!

I have tried and fallen in love with her cakes – I can promise you won’t be disappointed. She made me the most delicious lemon cake that I have ever had. My kids loved it too… and they are definite chocolate cake addicts so I thought lemon cake would not be their idea of heaven …but I was so wrong!

 

  

Heidi uses our cake toppers to create her fantastic dream cakes! So you can have whatever you want – even a picture of your favourite pooch!

Mercado Medieval – Estepona May 2010

What a wonderful evening we spent at the Mercado Medieval in Estepona port last weekend.

Last year it was held in the old town but this they changed it the port and it was excellent.

 

Stalls of olives, and Art, as well as sweets, nuts and drinks, jewellery and even a Barbeque were there to entice the money from our pockets.

The stall holders played their parts brilliantly dressing up for the event and getting into the theme of things, creating a realistic and fun-filled atmosphere.

.

 

The kids love the Medieval playa area with authentic games of the period – stilts, tin walking, puzzles, bow and arrows, and even donkey rides for those kids who were brave enough. The favourite was a hand swung carousel which sent our little ones flying around and around to the sounds of their high pitched squeals of delight.

Not sure how candy floss fits in the Medieval theme but the kids certainly loved it!

Looking forward to next year already.

Hello Kitty - a purrfect choice!

 

Ever since Christmas if you mentioned to my daughter about her birthday she immediately said that she wants a ‘Hello Kitty’ cake!

So her request was my command. I had chosen a picture for the cake topper but my newly turned 3 year old had other ideas.

She looked through the pictures and decided on another. I was resigned to use this on cupcakes instead, lol. Very demanding these 3 year olds!

These chocolate cupcakes are actually are vegan recipe, egg and milk free, for my friends daughter who is allergic, however all the kids enjoyed them and it meant that she wasn’t left out of the cakey celebrations.

 

 

My daughter was thrilled with the cake – big, pink and very definitely very Hello Kitty!

 

Parque Del Duque - Sabinillas

 

 

A friend of mine discovered this great little park in Sabinillas. When she told me about it we knew we just had to try it, so a few of us packed a picnic and off we went. It was definitely worth the short trip . This place is brand new, with lovely clean facilities and always open, clean toilets ( shaped like toadstools!).  There is even a kiosk at the front gate where you can by coffee, drinks, ice creams etc.

The 6 kids we had with us loved the place – no surprise there – with its big boat shaped climbing frame and slides, smaller kids play area,  Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs statues, fountain, stream and pond. Even mini golf and an exercise area for the adults.

Not sure who thought it was a good idea to put  an open stream through the  middle of a kids play park though! A nightmare for us parents to keep them out of it (I wasn’t wholly successful with this!). This is the only bad point – otherwise the park is perfect.

To find it – take a right at the petrol station in Sabinillas then 3rd on the left. 2 mins down this road on the left is the Park. Have fun!

 

 

The Cake Company! Yummy!

 

 

Are you in the mood for some divine cupcakes? Me too! And these girls certainly know how to pander to my moods and send me to heaven. The girls at The Cake Company make a range of cakes, cupcakes and tray bakes (and even make a low fat version so you can indulge without guilt – well almost!) 

 

 

They can do anything from a small private party to a large corporate event. Their cakes really do taste as good as they look and if you fancy sampling some for yourself head to The Trading Post, Estepona on a Saturday and visit their cake stall. You can even take a box home with you ( if they make it that far - mine never make it out of the car!)

To contact the girls email them on thecakescompany@gmail.com or call 679 33 43 53 and leave a message with your details.

Have a great Saturday at The Trading Post!

  

Not sure what to do this Saturday? Then head to the The Trading Post at the Estepona Riding School (exit Km 159 at the carreterra at Laguna Village and follow the signs inland for approx  5 mins). 

 

It is on every Saturday and starts at 11.00 am. They have loads of stalls – toys, books, clothes. fruit & veg, Nigel's fab sauces and many more. Make sure you visit The Cake Company's stand to try one of their amazing cupcakes or tray bakes – Divine!

 

 

 

   Stay for a while and enjoy the music, have a drink at the bar or a spot of lunch at the BBQ, while enjoy the Saturday Eventing. The kids can even go on a pony ride! Entrance is free so you have not excuse – go and have some family fun!
