Pancake cornucopia

Happy Pancake Day! My post today will be short and sweet. I just want to share the photos of the pancakes I made today as requested by my guys.
We've been big fans of Elmer the patchwork elephant for years, first with Sasha and now with Eddie, so it is only natural that Elmer inspired me to make the pancake elephant today.
I used the kitchen scissors to cut out the shape, then traced the lines with the Queens icing pens and added a few pieces of sliced banana and strawberry. Colourful, sweet and fun!





Sasha was watching me closely as I made Elmer the pancake elephant, and gave me a book of Meg in the Zoo, which I interpreted as a request to do a Meg and Mog-themed pancake.
The scissors came handy again. And here is our favourite witch flying on a broomstick with the owl next to her and Mog sitting in the cauldron.




Simple pleasures of life are always the best.

  6. Did they get eaten? In my house I know people would be yelling "You can't eat Elmer!"

    1. Good point. I'm afraid Elmer & co were eaten (as was Peppa pig the birthday cake, lol).
