Neigh /Nay???

Iam not 100% sure how to spell the sound that a horse makes. I am sitting here making the sound, but that is not much good to you, and the people around me really don’t like it all that much judging by the looks I am getting! So I will get right to it.
I am very excited as I am headed to one of my favourite shops, http://www.kitchencompliments.ie/ on Chatham Street in Dublin to get the necessary bits and pieces for the Horses Head cake that I will be making and icing on Saturday for Ella-bella’s birthday.
I have decided that icing it on Sunday would be ;
A) Time Consuming when the party is at 2.15 and is an hour drive away, and
B) Not the best idea as with a hangover, as the horse could end up looking like it was in a bit of an accident.
The hangover will be inflicted on Saturday night (fingers crossed) as I am out with the girlies for one of their birthdays (Happy Birthday Carol) and it is my first real night out since the Christmas. I have a feeling that I could be a cheap date and that Mr C may hate me and my whining on Sunday.

Will start the preps for the cake this evening with shapes and deciding the cake that I am going to make and what sort of icing etc.
Should be fun!!!! I hope!
In the meantime I am off to “trot” across Dublin in search of a cake board that is big enough to carry aforementioned horses head. (trot…get it??? )
