The World Cup - Better with Cake


Mama dog worked all day
to bake a nice cake
and the puppy said
but I wanted steak!

She decided wisely
to ignore the pup,
and sat down with cake
to watch the world cup.

Featured: We made the cakes
from beer cups and my 
father made the 
brilliant oven.

Hello Amalia :)
Your sweet poem made me smile, and your little kitchen is so well preportioned and clever. Everything is adorable. Your father is very skillfull at making miniture furniture, I love the oven. It is so lovely that you have such a close working relationship. All you need now is a dolls house to put everything you have made inside each room. :))
All the best
