Baby Shower cupcakes, yeah.

My lovely sister in law (to be) is having a baby in two weeks! unless its late, or early...anyway.... We had a baby shower where we did girl stuff like painting our nails, having massages and eating CAKE. I made these vanilla cups of yum with vanilla icing and LOTS of sprinkles and glitter. The lettering is baby blue sugar paste and looks like those fridge magnet letters you get, which i LOVE.

Who loves Jo Brand?

I do.........

So my boyfriend is producing a bunch of podcasts at work and last week the guest was Jo Brand, woah. When he told me about this i knew I had to make a cake (cake is my response to most things) and so i did, and here is the bad boy.



Its a chocolate orange sponge with chocolate butter icing and a hand made sugar heart, yum. They gave Ms Brand the cake in the midst of the podcast whilst she was being all super funny so if you want to hear her reaction then you can download these comedy podcasts for FREE here:

Listen to Episode 3: Jo Brand and some fantasy American load of old bollocks : The Dave Weekly podcast

Or you can get yourself to itunes and download it there, yeah. Do it, cake + comedy = mega happiness.



Abby's 1st birthday. eek.

My lovely little baby niece Abby turned 1 last week. She is such a cutie and deserved an equally cute cake, so here it is, pink and glittery to the MAX. Its a vanilla sponge with vanilla butter icing that baby Abby skillfully shoved all over her face, just like all good babies should. Little pickle.

swedish deliciousness please

My lovely brother gave me the recipe for this Swedish cake, Kladdkaka, which means gooey cake. It is a bit like a chocolate brownie but EVEN MORE chewy and delicious. It's a bit magic too because day by day the texture of the cake changes and get more tasty, woo.
