Castle Cake ...

So here is the castle cake I made for my girls 4th birthday.  I used the roll inside some wrapping paper for the towers and ice cream cones for the turrets.  She was a happy bunny and I was pretty pleased with it too ...

Ruffle cake ...

So it was my babies 1st birthday last week and I made a pastel rainbow sponge, ruffle cake topped with a sweet cake.  I was pleased with the results, and I think the children liked it too...

Rocky Road Love ...

So this is a fail safe winner of a home made treat... Rocky Road.  
I melt aprox 600gms of a good quality milk chocolate, then throw in about 100gms mini marshmallows, 3 chopped up mars bars, maltesers, 3 crushed crunchy bars, and lastly i throw in a few white chocolate buttons and sprinkle with sugar strands.  Put the mixture into a tin lined with baking parchment and leave in the fridge to set.  When set cut into small pieces as although fantastic these are very sweet & loaded with calories.  Enjoy ...

Broken computer ...

My computer has decided to breakdown and left me in the lurch, hence the large gap in posts.  Apologies! 
Back soon.....

Rockett St George ...

I have been a big fan of the Rockett St George website for a long time now.  Every time I look at it I want practically everything on there.  However this season there is sooo much gorgeous 'stuff' on there. So many amazing prints I would love for my home: 

Kitchenware including printed plates & egg cups, kids milk bottles & chalkboard labels for the pantry jars.

Kids paper placemats that can be changed into paper planes - perfect for a kids party!

My love of sticky tape is continuing with this little doll design,

But best of all are these little ceramic birds that hook into a lamp shade... now I know I need some of these in my life!

Love, love, love Rockett St George ...
