Cath - Love the idea of the Loch Ness Monster, think I should give that a whirl, I think that would be easier than the handle on the teacups. Kate - I think the worm cakes sound very cute and would be great because I could make them the day before. I also think it is so nice to celebrate big with the first birthdays. I think for me it is just as much a celebration of having made it through the first year with my sanity, as it is that they are turning one! Hungry Tribe - How versatile is the Marie Biscuit? I always have stocks of them in the pantry, but have never thought of icing and decorating them. Such a great idea thanks!

I am beginning to plan Muski's first birthday - we go all out for firsts and try to keep it super simple for the rest... but I want to come to one of your parties.. they sound fab! <em>kate's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/picklebums/~3/266678858/' rel="nofollow">(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Castles</a></em> I recently saw a great idea for really simple ‘mud’ cupcakes that boys would love - just a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and chocolate sprinkles for the ‘dirt’ then stick a gummy worm on the top… go all out and colour shredded coconut for grass or cut some green roll-ups but even without grass they looked fab and I thought they sounded pretty easy.

Decorate with licorice, 100s & 1000s, smarties, etc and murky coloured icing?? I was also wondering about broken lifesavers stuck on like dragons or the loch ness monster but how much fiddle??
