Good enough to eat

A diversion away from painted or chalked art; instead Theo's first stab at baking (he didn't watch The Great British Bake Off but his mother might have...).

A big fan of cook books, Theo likes to sit on the kitchen floor whilst waiting for his tea and look through them all. He's particularly fond of Lorraine Pascale, and one day happened upon a recipe that must put several thousand calories on you by reading it alone. Bags of caster and icing sugar, bricks of butter and what seemed like my own weight in chocolate, but it looked fantastic on the page and we did a pretty good job of replicating it too.

In case you're wondering, Theo's area of expertise mainly revolved around the tipping in of ingredients at the beginning of the process, and the Malteser decoration at the end. In between he concentrated on moving his cars and little men around on the living room table.
