So, CrinklyCub the elder is going to be nine. We've booked the climbing wall, are awaiting acceptance or polite refusals from a handful of carefully deliberated over guests, and are being
lazy sensible and getting the leisure centre to do the catering. So all I need to make is a cake.
Cake I can do

pirate treasure chests, bugs and toadstools
and (last year when he was 8 and it was really obvious) a figure-of-eight racetrack with chocolate racing cars.
What would be good for a 9th birthday cake?
