With Christmas around the corner it felt like the right time to look at some fun gifts for your small children. So my small children got lucky and got to play with a few gift ideas early to let you know what to put under the tree this year.







What Is It:
In 2009 higgledy-piggledy Café Byfords of Holt started selling cakes to everyone in the UK as Sponge and now offer a huge range of cakes for every occasion, including a monthly cake club, weekly deals, decorate yourself cake kits and cake cards (an idea so good I’m amazed no one has done it before!) The cake cards are a card complete with two utterly delicious slices of traditional home made cake which fit through the letterbox and arrive in perfect condition.
What We Thought:
The kids had so much fun with the Choc Cake Xmas Dec Kit. A yummy chocolate cake with a white chocolate icing pen festive coloured balls and fondant snowflakes! They copied the design suggestion of a snowman, whilst sneakily eating as much icing and as many balls as they could. It was great to see them take pride in decorating it but the best part was in the eating. It tasted truly homemade, fresh with a not too sweet chocolate buttercream and light sponge. It also had a long use by date on it meaning we weren’t in a rush to do it once it arrived. It ended with the kids fighting over who got bits of the cake with the snowman on it because they loved the icing.
