| you basically need equal amounts of butter, caster sugar, eggs and flour. I use 250g and 4 large eggs for an 8" tin. Cream the butter and sugar really well and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix in the eggs one by one then add the sieved flour. You can use either self raising or plain flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Transfer to a lined or greased cake tin and bake in a hot oven at 150c for 35 mins or until cooked. |

| I would say keep it simple, a simple design done really well looks far better than a complex one done badly. Maybe see if you can get some toppers of his favourite characters. Also look at google images for ideas, do a search on something like cbeebies cake x |
