You'd never know.

So, last night Son One and I marzipanned the Christmas cake in preparation for icing it today. And left it on the kitchen table to dry.

TPD was home playing with the boys while I was upstairs having a panic about how much I still have to do finishing off a few gifts. TPD left the boys. This was his Big Mistake.

Son One was engrossed in a game on the Norad website, Son Two was therefore free to wreak whatever havoc he chose. This morning's havoc of choice was to 'investigate' the cake on the table. With a ball point pen. Hammered in repeatedly :-/

TPD discovered this and came to tell me. I laughed. He said he wasn't expecting that. Neither was I to be honest, think it was hysteria! I came to survey the destruction, and plug the holes with more marzipan.


Spent an enjoyable hour or so icing it this afternoon with Son One, and now you'd never know! The design is all of Son One's choosing btw. I made the trees and the snowman's arms & nose, but the rest of it was done by him. Pretty good innit?!

Doubt I'll be back here before the big day now (work tomorrow, boo), so Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
