It’s Poppy’s birthday in a couple of days so Zoë and I have planned a surprise. We’ve made her a spectacular and gaudy cake.

Poppy’s a costume designer and has spent a lot of time recently hand-carving some foam into a pair of breasts for a costume for Cassetteboy. Zoë and I have drawn our inspiration from this labour of love – we’ve made her a ‘tits’ cake!

We’re both very pleased with how it’s turned out, even though one breast is definitely more tasty than the other. Now the big challenge for my tics is avoid spoiling the surprise by talking about the cake, or Poppy’s tits. Fortunately I tic about her boobs a lot anyway, so even if a handful of tit-tics do slip out I’m hoping she won’t find it unusual.
