The importange of making a mess.

Something I love about cooking is how much mess I get to make! I think its import to stop panicing about being perfectly clean and tidy it makes me feel to steructered I completely ignore the "Clean as you go" rule! I managed to get half way through a recipe and relise I had no vanilla extract left! aaaaarrrghhhh! panic stations! I left to kitchen as it was and ran to the supermarket only to discover they had none in stock! three shops later I finally found some! :)

 The above were my Friends 21st birthday cakes yesterday! however shes way to hungover to eat them! I meant well!

August

Good Afternoon! I thought today I would put the second entry I created for a local show, however by the time they actually got to be exhibited they were looking a bit tired as my mother had got the dates wrong and thought the show was a day earlier than it actually was which meant they were a little past they're best!
anyway I made my own sunshine seeing as our summer is non existent!

This little piggy..

pink pigs! I think these might be in a competion I'm going to enter! they were really easy I preferred the way they turned out with the butter icing as the base colour rather that the royal icing! any thoughts?

cakes for the troops

A whole load of my family are giving up a day of they're precious time to help my muma decorate the church for my big brothers wedding.. I thought they could do with some sugar to keep them going!

Haribelle makes?!

I just taking a brief moment to side step cakes atm! I just wanted to show everyone a few of the wonderful things me and my muma have been making for my brothers wedding.

The bottles contain elder flower cordial, homemade! and I think the heart wooden tags to go round the necks where found on ebay! I think the idea worked out really well, it's instead of just having boring jugs of water on the tables! And all the pretty tea light holders we decorated ourselves it took blood sweat and glue for two solid hours but the end result is really effective and really cheap to do, the small tumblers that we used were only like 60p each and the ribbon wasn't very expensive! money put to good use! :) 

Minty minty mouthful!

My boyfriend knows only too well my favorite chocolate in the world is mint aero! mint aero bubbles?! even better! He took a little visit to a cash and carry and returned home to me with a HUGE box of mint aero bubble's which sparked a little idea light bulb in my mind when I was bored to tears at work today! So as soon as I got home I set about it. 

I wanted to make chocolate and mint cuppy cakes! I made a basic chocolate cake mix for the sponge and then twisted the usall butter cream I make and use to include mint! then of course my cheeky little decoration using the millions of aero bubble my boyf supplied me with in the week! 

I'm not sure which i prefer, with the entire aero bubble on the top or them cut into halves?! 

Happy space!

I don't know if anyone will find this interesting or not but this is where all my little cakes come to life. its our little red kitchen!

I think its important to say, I don't make any cakes for any reason at all. I would love to one day be able to use this funny little talent I seem to have been blessed with. 

My friends think I'm crazy for not following it up as a career 'right now' I'm so excited to use it in the future though! So anyway here's our quirky little kitchen that makes many many many! amazing things!
