I was babysitting my 2.5 yr old grandson the other day. He was easily kept amused as we worked our way through the birthday cake book (you know the ones - the kids have to decide what sort of birthday cake their mother will make this year) when we turned the page and there was a lovely wombat cake. 'Oooh that's disgusting!' says 2.5 yr old (he also knows 'totally grose man') Then I realised he thought the cake was covered in 'poo' and not chocolate butter icing. Poor wombat. But once I explained it was chocolate (a favourite of his) he was happy.

 where can I get one for my next birthday? 

can you post a pic please, it could be my uncle 

Vic, I wanted a picture of the cake 

I'll send my home address so that when you have made it you can post it too me 

Nope, I will 

I agree with your grandson's first thought Ruth 

Problem is Ruth, I'd think I was eating my mate wombat 

Second thoughts, no I wouldn't, the chocolate wombat is much nicer looking 

 

 

 

I think it would get a bit sickly very quickly Ruth.  A cake with the shape of a road going off in the distance on top sounds the ticket. 

Sorry Ruth but wombat is taking over your thread.

No mate, they will be in my new tug that I'm still waiting on. That's OK though.

Now, I hope your grandson enjoys whatever cake he decides on Ruth. A birthday cake is always yummy. If he chooses the wombat one he (grandson) can always put a paper bag over his head and the he won't have to look at it, just make sure there is a little hole for his nose so he can breath and one for his mouth so he can eat

Dougwe I don't mind wombat taking over the thread - I did post it about a wombat anyway. And I've finally caught up with the news that you've got a new tug! Been away too long we have.

 if you get busy you cannot be on here all the time like Dougwe 

my cake has not arrived yet 

see I'm staying on topic 

Dougwe, it's nice to be nice to wombat sometimes. We might need his help one day!
Sorry, I haven't been well enough to make a cake. You'll have to ask Mrs Wombat to make it. She would know how to make it better than me .... and you've got the instructions with the photo.

Sorry wombat. The book belonged to his mum but I've found one just like it.

 Wombat if you look like that no wonder Dougwe has the twins and not you.
