...although I did have a few problems, being an amateur..the cake was quite tricky..when it came to assembling and decorating I found that the top cake was too small. My spare 22cm cake tin was not 22cm.. The cake had to sit on a thin cake board right to the edges to decorate it correctly. The only thing I could think of was to turn the cake tin upside down, pad it out with playdoh and cover it with the icing! I had run out of time to make another cake..Oh dear..never again will I decide to assemble the cake just before the party..
But Bridget loved it all and no one looked too closely at the cake.. xx
A bit of quiet reflection after the party..
Dreaming of merry-go-rounds..

Bridget's birthday party looks wonderful. You are an amazing mum to have prepared all of that for her! I am so impressed with your baking and decorations! xx
It all looks wonderful Rachel!! The cake is amazing - I'm sure no one would have even known you'd encountered problems with it. The food table looks wonderful as do the tissue paper pom-poms. Great job xx
Looks like it was a great day all round Rachael, And very inventive of you to think of the cake tin - good work! I think you did an amazing job, and your girls are very luck to have such a wonderful mum. K xx
It all looks gorgeous - she's a lucky girl, happy birthday to Bridget! x
What wonderful memories you are creating. Keep up the good work!!
Wow, that is such a gorgeous theme and it all looked so pretty and girly. The cake looks AMAZING, I think you did an excellent job, cake tin or not! And Bridget looks so pretty in her beautiful birthday dress. Thanks so much for sharing Rachael, I'm very impressed!

Looks like a wonderful party - and such a great theme! The cake looks amazing!
Genius touch with the playdough and tin - It all looks gorgeous - love a Martha pom pom!
That looks beautiful...who wouldn't love it!! I can't believe you attempted and mastered the carousel cake form the good old women's weekly book!
Hi Rachel, well everything just looks fit for a princess and no doubt it was. You did a fabulous job of the cake. I have always loved that cake in the Woman's weekly but alas, no girls to make it for - ah well.... trains and cars it is!!!
Everything looks just gorgeous Rachael including the very pretty birthday girl. Despite the challenges, the cake is a triumph. I bet Adriano Zumbo will be calling you tomorrow for advice with his new range.

Oooosh! (Did anyone else ever say that, or was it a 1980's Kiwi thing?) So impressed, Rachael, that cake is awesome. The whole party is gorgeous, well done you! Lucky Bridget :)
I love everything about this party. That carousel cake is lovely!

Hi Rachael,
It looked likes a fabulous party ! I love bridget's dress , so pretty. I did the same cake for my daughters 2nd birthday & I remember wondering if the top was going to topple off! I havent been around for a couple of weeks , just quickly found some time to do a post for my James 4th Birthday & here I saw your celebration. Im glad to be back but now I have so much catching up to do. Has any one done any big reveals ?

Hey Rachael,
Thanks for the tip to checkout your post about the top 10 building/reno tips. I read George Clarke's tips...some were a bit scary such as 'make decisions early' (I am VERY indecisive) and about expecting to pay 10% more - I know this to be true but don't want to believe it! But excellent advice none the less. Thanks for the link.
X Briohny.
PS - not sure if I am to make these return comments on your 'comments' section or to your e-mail? What is the etiquette?
It all looks fabulous, Rachel, Bridget is a lucky little girl :)
