The little man can reach the door handles and can no longer be contained. Next step, the stair gates. It’s taken the little lady 4 years to work out these so hopefully we still have time. Then again she’s never switched the oven on…

I took the ingredients for the sponge element of the cake from the traditional coffee and walnut cake recipe (although I finely chopped the walnuts rather than halved them) and the icing, filling and decoration from Greg Wallace’s recipe. I was ably assisted by the little lady and my twin brother (who was making a special flying visit) but as you can see from the photographs they preferred to lick the whisks rather than do the hard graft!
