Dear [relatives name]
Thank you so much for all the lovely gifts you bought me, I was so happy when I opened your beautifully wrapped gift and found [chosen toy/gift] I’m going to use this all the time now. I wanted to share some plans to make today even more awesome than it already is, let me tell you about what I planned my cake to look like so I get my mother to make me a chocolate hedgehog cake every year on my birthday. The centre is rich and sweet, the coating is double cream mixed with melted chocolate. Into that goes chocolate buttons to make the spines, and two white chocolate buttons for eyes. The nose is a malteser with that honeycomb centre. The birthday kid always gets the nose, and that is all part of the fun. The next thing I’m going to do is play pass the parcel, my mum wrapped a present in this cute white wrapping paper that has strawberries all over it and I’m going to play pass the parcel with my friends, lastly I’m going to play pin the tail on the donkey cause I love that game and it’s always lots of fun!
I’m sad you aren’t able to come but thank you again for the lovely [gift name]

Love [your name]
