Seeing as all eyes were on Newgrange earlier, here’s a cake I baked for my girlfriend’s birthday earlier in the year.

We had an idea for a book,
Full of pictures of items that look,
Like Ireland you see,
It’s all for charity,
And we’ll sell it by hook or by crook.

Ah here.
Broadsheet’s Aidan Coughlan (he of the US Election night bike trauma) is currently in high level negotiations with New Island books to bring this little gangster out before St Patrick’s Day.
He’s also contacting those of you who sent in unspecified items that look like Ireland to secure YOUR permission to use YOUR images in this lavishly illustrated coffee cup holder companion.
That’s not all.
Should the absurd endeavour make any money we will give it to a selected charidee of YOUR choice. Please send deserving causes suggestions marked ‘Ireland Charity Book” to Broadsheet@broadsheet.ie (before Monday 7am).
Also: green or red?
