How is it (mid)February 2020 already?! Something to do, I suspect, with time speeding up as I hurtled through January in anticipation of the last weekend, when I headed up catering for our church’s annual camp. Then a blip of two weeks and suddenly Galentine’s Day was here again! What’s more, I had two other… Continue reading Pink and Gold Girly Time {Galentines Day 2020}
And suddenly it’s December, and I’m having that same internal conversation where I ask myself where the year has gone?! Thankfully, the delicious foodie opportunities of the season make me feel better about time speeding past… it’s party time!!! For the past couple of summers I have been cranking out this absolutely addictive popcorn. It’s… Continue reading Party Popping {Caramel Popcorn}
With the end of February ticking over, I’m looking back on that special time earlier this month, not so much for sweethearts but for gal pals! Our third annual Galentines Day party came with a slightly different theme this year: bright rainbows and cute clouds. It was a fun change to the red-and-pink we usually… Continue reading Galentine’s Day 2019 {Rainbow-Themed Party}
Well overdue indeed… not with a baby, thank goodness, but with an update of said baby, and of course a baking post. I would start to apologise, but anyone with kids will understand why I would rather catch up on my shows during these precious few minutes of ‘me time’ at the end of the… Continue reading Very Overdue! {Candy Cane Chocolate Brownie}
‘Tis the end of February – the end of summer – and the end of the month of V-Day {which was hard to escape with all the ads trying to sell us jewellery/chocolates/chocolate jewellery…} Did you celebrate Feb 14th with your Significant Other this year? N and I have had to share our Valentine’s celebrations… Continue reading Galentine’s Day 2018 {Stripey Ombre Buttercream Cake Tutorial}
Hay bales, bunting, a dance caller, a silly hat competition and a rustic supper to match – you’d be forgiven for thinking this was a country dance in small-town southern US. But these antics were in fact all present at our church’s Barn Dance held earlier this year. The plan for this event was originally… Continue reading And You Shall Have Life in a Barn Dance {Chocolate Cheesecake Cookie Cups}
There is a gruesome twist to this post – you have been warned!!! But if you don’t wish to see the result of murderous intent, you can just scroll through the first few photos đ Then there is a very long tutorial section then right at the end you will find what you are looking for, if… Continue reading On the Decapitation of Ebony {Structured Doll Cake}
As the title suggests, there’s a bitter element to the usual sweetness on the blog today. Last month after a series of recent strokes, I lost my grandmother. She was my last living grandparent and the one I had been closest to. Even more sadly, I hadn’t felt that closeness for some time: during the… Continue reading Remembering Grandma {Berry Jelly Cheesecake Slice}
My heart is full, my feet are tired and I’m floating on a cloud! But it’s not romance (though rest assured that is alive and well!). I’m talking about Galentine’s Day, which any Parks and Recreation fan could tell you falls on February 13th every year, the day before V-Day itself. This year I had the… Continue reading Galentine’s Day †{OmbrĂ© Buttercream Shell Cake Tutorial}
