Last weekend Otis celebrated his first birthday with a party. In the lead-up to the party much time was spent preparing the guest of honour - the frog cake.

The frog was chosen after much deliberation, and a number of expeditions to collect the necessary equipment were undertaken. I test baked the super delicious chocolate gingerbread cake. Finally the big day arrived.

Thankfully Mum was on hand to assist with the decoration.

The finished frog.

The frog is lit.

The frog meets his end.

Later in the day, Otis enjoyed a cupcake. Otis has made some small progress with his eating, and he is now regularly enjoying small sips of milk, sucking on biscuits, and licking chocolate icing.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along and helped to make Otis' party so lovely. We all had a wonderful time.
