Ah, what a cutie! It's a great photo. Dive can sharpen it up a bit in Photoshop for you. The kitchen one is great he he. Little did he know then that years later, he'd be delighting many readers with recipes online, eh. So he nicked all the photos huh? Sons, huh, don't you love 'em? Yes, yes yes we do! xxx

Hi Lynn..yes must get those photo's back....how these boys hate to be reminded of their past.....and how we love to bring it back!!!!!

Katie said...

Alifan you've made a stunner of a cake for Dive's birthday! What a lot of work to make the sushi so realistic. Bravo! Oh, and thanks for making Dive too. My life would be a lot duller without him!

Question about the photo of Dive cooking -- is he wearing tights? Was he going to a Robin Hood party or something? Classic photo!!

Joy said...

Hello Dive's Mum! That is certainly a beautiful cake - which I shall enjoy on Saturday!

Dive was adorable as a baby!

Alifan said...

Thanks Katie and Joy..... so good to know Dive has some good pals......

Hope you like the cake Joy...

Alifan said...

Congratulations for producing such a wonderful boy and great cake, unless it's the other way around.

You're a true cake artist! The barbie cake was amazing too. Did she have her legs inside the cake or were her legs removed I wonder? Oooops, sorry for asking what's under a girl's skirt, I guess it's a very improper thing to do!!! LOL

Alifan said...

So nice to see so many comments thanks folks.......

Nathalie the legs had to be taken off sadly!!!!!!

neetzy said...

You are an artist! Your cake was absolutely amazing! We bloggers all love your son. He has quite a fan club.

Shan said...

What an amazingly deceiving cake Alifan!! Aren't you something?! :D And what a fun little set of photos of your interesting boy! He really packs a punch doesn't he? Bahaha

Glad you and your boys have such a great relationship. I hope to be so blessed when mine are grown. :) Have a great weekend!

Nice Site

Very interesting.

Love the CAKES !

Alifan said...

This is great to see so many folk on here... thank you....

Cheltenhamdailyphoto said...

Oh we do, Alifan. Thing is, mine moan when I bring the camera out, nay it's strapped to my side - but one day, they'll be so pleased to see all these pics of themselves. In strange fashions, odd haircuts, fancy dress....er...won't they? :)

Joy said...

Hi Alifan! I have just finished eating the cake and it's gorgeous! I love it. Many thanks for making it :D And thanks to Dive for sharing it.

I just have to ask Alifan, what was underneath that fabulous icing and yummy toppings? What did you make the chopsticks out of? Was it marzipan? I bet the cake didn't last long. (Happy Birthday Dive - the fifties are fabulous you know).
