Anniversaries...

So my little sister and her boyfriend had their anniversary a few weeks ago and as part of his gift the bf wanted to make her some cupcakes. He calls her panda because she has a tendency to leave her eye makeup on and wake up looking like a panda with big black circles round her eyes! In turn she calls him Kermit (as in the frog) because he's got long lanky arms and legs just like the muppet does

So I hope you enjoy my rather comical cupcakes... They were done on very short notice!!

Bethany's Birthday...

So I have a beautiful niece (and an equally handsome nephew)! I am such a proud little Aunty haha! Anyway it was Bethie's 2nd Birthday at the end of April and so I made her the cutest (and quickest) cake ever before driving the hour to my sister's place to celebrate with them :-)

I thought I would do a little bragging and show you the marbled pink cake I made for her! I've really been getting into the marbling thing recently! I love it... So easy but looks so good :-) ill do some rainbow cakes soon and (hopefully) remember to take some cute pictures!

Hope you enjoy!

Mothers' day...

So for Mothers' Day we had a big family lunch with the grannies and one of my aunts :-) it was so much fun and I even made a cake for the occasion! It was a pink Rosewater marbled cake with those pogo stick biscuits, marshmallows and white chocolate over the top! It was so so yummy if I may say so myself!!

I hope it's inspirational to somebody! Maybe I'll get around to blogging the inspiration for it one day... No promises though as I seem to struggle keeping them recently!!

Times flying...

So things have been pretty hectic lately! I've had the flu. I've had laryngitis. I've also been cold (and probably very lazy) so haven't been posting on here! It's been more than a month since my last post! I should get on top of this all one day :-)

Unfortunately I'm not able to cross off my surprise because Superman ended up getting sick so the weekend never went through :-( but I'm sure I'll be able to plan some amazing surprises over the next 12 months!

I have just signed up to Cupcake Day for the RSPCA 2012 so am super excited thinking about food, invitations, food, location... did I mention food? I promise I will add lots of bits and pieces on here about my planning and prep! I'll hopefully have lots of things to tick off my list in the process :-)

Hmmm... what else has been happening? I'm having trouble recounting the last month it has been so busy! I've bought a huge bunch of materials to make a few aprons for friends and family (as well as myself) and even managed to make a pattern to follow from newspaper - Nanny style! My Nanny (grandmother) is an absolutely gun when it comes to sewing... she doesn't even need something to copy when she makes a pattern - just pulls the idea from her head and starts snipping away at newspapers with pins and tape measures going everywhere!!

I have come to a bit of a stop on the apron front due to having to pull my sewing machine out of the clutter we have in our laundry... but that shouldn't take too long to do and I'll turn into Queen of Aprons! I'm thinking it will be an amazing production line of cute materials, scissors and pins!

I'll post a few more pictures today from my phone so you can see what else I've been up to (baking wise)!

Otherwise I wish you all a truly amazing and magical Winter Solstice (Yule)!

Peace x.
