Well after what can only be described as the worst month for me Ever! I thought I’d share something nice for a change. Its my daughter Holly’s birthday tomorrow and although we can’t get together in the normal way I wanted to do something nice for her. She has had to cancel all her planned celebrations of course. So I made this today. It’s her favourite, carrot cake. But she is vegan which was quite a challenge. Anyway I thought well, rabbits like carrots too so... I intend to leave it on her doorstep like a delivery and then ring the bell and step away following social distancing rules. Ive enjoyed making it and it has taken my mind off my grief for a short while, and given me something else to focus on.

So sorry she had to cancel the celebrations but I must say that is the cutest cake ever - loving the bunny tail!

Helenmat that is brilliant, it's my birthday in a few weeks, you could ring my doorbell with a cake if you are getting bored.
I've just sent some chocolate bunnies and little animals to my grand daughter. I use a company called Choc Affair, the support a Colombian school and village where the beans are grown and do a fabulous postal service. So she has had these for her Easter Treat. They were sent in lovely little boxes and the chocolates in nests and it's all handmade. So nice.

Thank you all. She came to collect the cake from my doorstep this afternoon. It was so weird not being able to hug her but nothing we can do. Then later on we all FaceTimed and me, my hubby and my dad and her hubby sung her happy birthday. It’s been an emotional day for us all too, mum not being here but we’ve made the best of it and I think Holly enjoyed her lockdown birthday! She said the cake tasted lovely by the way and she couldn’t believe it was vegan.
