September is nearly over and I still am not doing very well this blogging process! I have been super busy doing lots of nothing sorts of things and working 2 jobs! The good thing about being busy is that when I do get spare time I've been trying to cook up at storm!
I'm planning on making my mars bar and snicker slice again tonight for the girls at work on Friday and Saturday :-) also, on my list of things to cook over the weekend, I am thinking of adding lemon meringue pie! It is one of my all time favourite desserts as I love lemon curd and I adore meringue!
The next few months will bring with them lots of birthdays and celebrations (as well as warm weather!) so I'll give you a run down on what I have planned so far...
I have a friend's birthday on the 3rd of October and I'm planning to surprise him with a giant cookie in his letterbox! I sent him his care package while he was at sea a few months ago and he seemed quite delighted with my cookies... Considering he is away on training over the next few weeks and only returning sporadically I figured I could make this giant cookies and slip it into his mail box when I am near his place. It sounds rather impersonal but at the moment he isn't really speaking to me. Well let's be honest - he's not speaking to me at all. But that my friends is a completely different story about how men are from mars and women are from venus!
The second birthday to crop up in October will be my daddy's birthday! I am yet to decide what to get him but I am pretty sure it will be food related :-)
Now the exciting thing is that my beautiful sister is going to give birth to her third child at the end of October / early November so I am ready to prepare a cake with some beautiful little love birds on them to represent everyone in her gorgeous little family! Considering my new found busy-ness I am going to make a white chocolate mudcake in advance and just freeze it for the next few weeks so I can whip it out and produce the cake in a much more timely manner! They're expecting a girl but who knows these days so i thought it best not to get too much done!
Finally it will be my nephew's birthday on the 16th November. He is a big fan of trains and so I just bought this tin to bake a beautiful cake in when I return from my holiday to Cairns on the 18th! I am a bit of a slack aunt being away for his birthday but I am also so excited to go and watch the total Solar Eclipse up there on the morning of the 14th November!
I hope you all enjoy your day and I'll get back to you soon.
Peace x.
