My little one got her cake in the end (from the receipe above - thank you!) and thoroughly enjoyed it!! see pics!
She got to eat a piece at home with the family then we took the number "1" to class where we shared it with the other 10 kids she plays with. (we also had a FAB time at the zoo - bonus of being stuff in Singapore)
all in all a GREAT day ;-)
