Very impressive work on the cake. I think cake decorating is really fun but I am a little slap-dash at it. Made an icing polar bear, turtle and snake for OH's birthday though which I was quite proud of. At least you could tell what they were meant to be - that's all I was aiming for!
Pasta and sauce is an odd thing. I know its full of rubbish but I have to say sometimes I fancy it and in my case its certainly not pregnancy cravings. I reckon if most of your diet consists of healthy, wholesome home-cooked food there is a little leeway for something less than saintly in nutritional terms every now and then.
