Mixing It Up.

I don't think I've ever really talked about my baking here... But I love to bake! I love to lose myself in my kitchen, turn my music up loud and just create - and try not to care if it all goes wrong! (Although, my husband is very good at stepping in when the roofs on gingerbread houses collapse, or I max out our scales half way through adding sugar to flour...) I'm even hoping to get a stand mixer soon, which will make it easier!

As I mentioned on Facebook, it was my Birthday this weekend, and this was my Birthday cake :) The whole thing was made with this chocolate cake recipe, filled and covered in "normal" buttercream, and topped with fondant (marbled with Christmas Red and Navy gels), white chocolate buttons, and buttercream roses :)

I assembled it the night before, having never made a tiered cake before, and it stayed standing - woop!!

You can see a few other bits of my baking here, and my rather popular Minecraft cake here.

I'll resume shop postings soon, but I have a few really stressful weeks ahead of me, so sorry if I'm a bit quiet. Cheer me up though, and have a look at my shop :)

Crocheted Robot Finger Puppets

My eldest nephew turned 5 this week, so I crocheted him 3 little robot finger puppets!

I got the pattern from Crocheted Finger Puppets by Gina Alton, although adapted it slightly as always!

They went down well, and I can't wait to try more creations from this book!

If you're a fan on Facebook (and if not, why not?!) then you may have noticed the launch of my new shop yesterday. It's starting small, but I have so many ideas, so hopefully it will grow over the year!
