My latest project

As Kealey has the biggest crush on Robert Downey Junior EVER I decided to do an iron man cake but using his face instead, after all he is Tony Stark.

I also did some cupcakes with iron man/ iron patriot too, mainly for the kids but also coz I can! It also gave me a chance to try using edible pictures and I am now such a fan. I used a company called edible prints and they supplied me with 24 round pre cut cupcake toppers and I got a larger one to do Robert’s face which I cut to size.

You can see the end result, the top tier was carrot cake and the bottom one was Victoria sponge & Kealey was dead pleased ( how i managed to hide the project from her I’ll never know!) plus she gets to lick his face :D

A skinny lady and a fat lady

20130601-190844.jpgWe decided to shut the shop today, to be fair we did know for a while that it wouldn’t be possible to recover from an 18 year old’s birthday party & work at the same time so we thought best not to try!

Plus our star waitress/cashier would be the said 18 year old who happens to be our daughter too. What a good decision it turned out to be considering she was still drunk this morning! In honor of Kealey, happy birthday and this is how you were looking at 4 in the morning x

The wonders of Pinterest

Behold! I have discovered the wonders of Pinterest. It is fab for people like me that like looking at loadsa colourful stuff :)

I have found tonnes of hairstyles to try, recipes, crafty ideas and weddingy type stuff. The best thing I have found is, there is loadsa loadsa food porn! I Just love looking at puddings, can’t eat them, but love lusting after them.

I have made decorations, tried carb free bread, painted pictures, had a go at hairstyles and various cost effective body scrubs. I am constantly bookmarking things I want to buy or make with the kids, I don’t know how I lived without it.

I may turn into the worlds biggest DIYer! But why not? I have stuff which is unique and I am proud of, it’s cost effective, it is exactly the way I want it, in colours that co-ordinate with my rooms or my outfit and they look good (I hope) and with that I’m off to customise my shoes ;)

WWF cake

Cake number 2, the “other half” did the ring whilst I did the lettering and the models for the cake.

Bit tricky placing two wrestlers on top of each other without looking inappropriate to a 12 year olds eyes ;)
