My most recent forays into the production of baked good have been some birthday cakes for friends and some delicious White Chocolate & Raspberry Cakes (again, thanks to www.thepinkwhisk.co.uk for the recipe!)
Happy Birthday Cake
Zoe, the youngest daughter of a lovely friend turns 1 today, so to help with the celebrations I rustled up some cupcakes for her. Hope she likes them! Lemon Cupcakes with vanilla frosting and sweet pink, pale green & white decorations.
Yesterday, after a morning trip to the zoo, I managed to escape on my own for an hour for a quick retail park fix!!! Pretty things are my one weakness (a la Dorcas, in Candleford!). We have painted (& chipped!) farmhouse chairs in the kitchen, which though lovely are not conducive to lengthy stays at the kitchen table = numb bum! Couldn’t resist these chair pads.
Oh, and the pretty dustpan & brush, and floor mop. Well, if I must spend my life cleaning at least I have pretty tools to help me along!
Oh, and this pretty pot with citronella candle for keeping flying pests at bay when sitting out in the garden
Oh, and this cute square baking tin
Could have spent a lot more, saw some gorgeous bedding & cushions (have a thing for bedding & cushions too, lol!), but managed to resist (other half, is very pleased about that!)
a little sweet on the side!
