Deja Moi Comme Ca

Hellooo people out there !

I never wrote about this and seeing as I had intended to I shall just write about it now… Even if it was over a month ago…

Venetia and I (And by “and I” I mean… mostly Venetia) baked The World’s Most Awesome Home-Made Cake

In The History Of All Awesome Cakes for our mom’s birthday which was on the first of April. It was absolutely incredible! The most part of it was spent decorating and wow… Once we were finally finished I was just speechless… So here’s the pictures!

Caterpillar Cake

For anybody who wants to bake a cake like this, simply make a chocolate cake mixture and bake it in a rectangular tin (for banana bread), carefully round off the edges with a knife and then just get creative with whatever is colourful (and edible :/) in your cupboards! I think we may have gone slightly overboard but it tasted sooo good!

And for decoration, we had little flowers made out of a gloop of coloured butter icing with a smartie in the middle… Unsurprisingly these weren’t favourited but they looked pretty ^.^!

On other topics.. Gadget killed a bird :/… It was horrible! The first time he ever brought any little “presents” home for us I was racing down the stairs of the basement…

Suddenly this… this… thing sprawled across the carpet at the bottom of the steep stairway came into view as I rounded the corner but because I was going at such speeds I could hardly stop at the bottom of the

steps and I DID NOT want to land in that … unidentified something so I jumped.

And then came the squealing and girl-ish cries of “GADGET HAS KILLED SOMETHING! THERE’S A HALF-EATEN SOMETHING DOWN HEREEEE!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!”. Covering my face with both hands and silently whimpering for the dead creature I waiting for my mom to come downstairs…

Gadget is a murderer…

There were several other inciddents of these types and the worst one was truely the worst… I heard Gadget’s bell that hangs around his neck so the birds have more of a chance of noticing him jingling madly in the basement and just knew. I whipped the door open to find my very own kitty, jump back startled from this intrusion as he was silencing his prey but looking up at me with the most angelic kitty-puppy-dog eyes in the world… I screamed for my mom.

Two of Gadget’s cat friends were still hanging around by the windowsill… The bird was still alive when we got to him. He was so tiny and as my mom cradled him in the warmth of her hands, he was looking up at me and his eye was blinking… It was BLINKING… like a person! My mom chased the cats away and set the defenseless bird to rest outside under a bush. I cried.

Now I’m upset again -.-! Although a shrew caught by Gadget got away ^.^! Anyway, it’s an absolutely stunning day and I need to go soak up the sun a bit… I’m going to the beach tomorrow and my legs will be

blinding if I don’t start tanning now!

Hoping to hear from you guys soon!
