Small people in our family loved Footprint Cake -

Ordinary sponge, ie Weigh your eggs in their shells, equal amount butter, flour, sugar. Whisk all (first removing eggs from shells - this cake is not crunchy), bake in Mod oven.

When cool, cover with white icing and when nearly set, mark with footprints of choice - our lot loved very very small cat prints but dinosaur footprints work well. You can use orange sticks or toothpicks to make bird prints. The rest is up to you; you have to make up a feasible story to go with the absence of said animal. If you previously make a hole under icing and fill with smarties or maltesers, that goes down well as a surprise nest when you cut into it. No point being too fancy. Our lot still like to make gingerbread monsters, the most horrid being given to Daddy.

Sounds excellent, like the idea of having a hole under the icing. They've both gone pirate mad recently and when I collect them after work they more often than not have some treasure they have collected from the beach that day. We now have lovely collection of drift wood sticks...

Thanks for the recipe Jools, I'll let you know the result :)

Maybe she sniffed too much furniture polish today? Not good Jo...open the windows and get that place ventilated before you start tripping :nono:

- In that case, try choc coins or gold almonds under the icing for buried treasure!

Spot on, I wonder how much carnage there will be once I say "there's buried treasure under there"...maybe I'll supply a very small playmobil shovel, just in case...;)

Carnage is a given with small boys. And tall boys, come to think of it... Maybe a treasure hunt in the house, instead, to keep you all out of trouble.

Quick everybody, hide! Bob's about! :gnorsi: Alex, maybe you can arrange a major outage to stop him logging on.
I'm only joking mate. :smilielol5:

I won't be here again tonight (so no talking about me behind my back) I'm off to see a group called Viarosa. On their Myspace site under Sounds like it says . .

"Imagine the bastard offspring of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen who had been taught to play by Johnny Cash and had spent his Summer afternoons receiving singing lessons from Jim Morrison fronting a 21st century hybrid of Lindisfarne and The Doors, and you'll start to get the picture"

So might be interesting.
