30 cubs and 18 odd scouts descended on us for their end of term BBQ and backwoods cooking!
Jean thought this was great 
Edam sponsored the event and provided these great chiefs hats which I sort of made everyone including dad wear
I had to include this picture of JEan and Al - Alaric was marching along trying to get everything ready and Jean took up his perposful stride
The only issue with the event was that obviously there were alot of cars involved and so we were on the watch to make sure Barbara's lawn wasn't ripped up with manuvours.
Barbara has turned 75! three quarters of a centry so we baked her cake and made some sandwitches and told her to invite some people to dinner.
The cake was chocolate cake with lots of topping as she had said she likes lots of topping! I also put chocolate chips and things on it It was obviously a 75 - Barbara confessed she was scared I'd made a watering can or something tacky like that :/
The cake went down well even if Barbara had phoned Mary in a panic and got her to bring a cake round as I had planned to make the cake Sunday morning so it would be nice and fresh and as there was no obvious finished cake Sunday morning Barbara was panicking she'd have nothing to feed her guests.
(we were at a Wedding the night before in London!)
Barbara's friend Hanna brought a balloon round for Jean which was an instant hit!
And then it was presant time!
The Dutera is a pretty plant but came with a warning that it has poisonous bits so to watch Jean.
It seemed to go very well.
There are cute pictures of Jean decorating Easter Egg shaped ginger biscuits over on the Salaric Cooking Blog I have only just gotten around to putting the post live - doh!
Jean hates pancakes but loves the fillings it turns out - which include bean sprouts - her culinary experiments can be seen on Salaric Cooking.
As promised the butterfly cakes construction is now on our cooking blog.

I'm hoping to have some of the other cakes and things on there soon!
