My 9 year old and his friend made these gorgeous cup cakes in anticipation of a celebratory breakfast for his brother. He even put sparklers in them but I missed the moment:-
Teenage son was WAY too scared to get the results this morning. He made me do it and then my daughter told him he had done really badly … and he believed her.
In fact, I am today the very proud mother of a very clever son who has done ridiculously well and we are all completely delighted:
