I am Elsa. I am 7years old and live in Derby. My little brother is called Barney and he is 2. I am kind, funny and I’m a really good friend…I love playing and laughing. My favourite things to do are baking, dancing and reading.
I have EDS and I also see a special doctor about MCAS. These things make me really sore and tired quite a lot, and bits of my body are naughty…but I am perfectly Elsa! I take medicine and have physiotherapy and lots of lovely doctors who help me. I do also wear a suit and ‘splints’ and they are pink!! My brother is super bendy but he hasn’t been poorly…I will help him, if he struggles.
I made this extra special cake with my brother and mummy. I drew a picture and picked the colours and flavours. My arms ache when I stir, so we bought a shiny stand mixer (we call it Ken), and I also swap between standing and sitting in the kitchen. We bought ready rolled marzipan because that is tricky for my shoulders…but we rolled the icing all together! I love my cake! It was so delicious, we shared it with our neighbours.
We loved that you made this together and the decoration was amazing! How lovely to share your baking with the neighbours too.
Well done Elsa and Barney – you get my judges handshake!
