Reflection

I can't believe the holidays are almost over and that it's been more than a month since I last posted.  My family took off to Rainbow Beach, enjoyed the time away so much, and decided to spend a few days on the Sunshine Coast as well.  Then there's all the other bits and bobs in between, like cooking the family's Christmas feast, catch-ups with friends, and a mad scramble to put together my daughter's 12th birthday party (more on that soon!).  

It might be a tad late, but I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, spent with those you love.  I hope you all ended the year with gratitude for all the people who brought you joy and gave meaning to everything you do.  I hope you ended the year on a sweet note, just like I did with these cakes.

A message from Rebecca after the wedding:  "Thank you for the beautiful cake!  It looked amazing and tasted even better.  Was a beautiful wedding."

May this year bring lots of lovely and sweet moments your way!

Fairy Cookies

Three years ago, I made a paper doll cake and matching flower cookies for a baby shower.

 

 

The babies turned three last weekend, and these are the fairy cookies I made for their party.

 

Amazing how quickly time flies.

 

 

Note:  The fairy cookie design is based on Bubbles and Sweets' fairy wand cookies.  





My Week

Last week was one of those weeks that was completely and utterly mad.  I was up at dawn and did not go to bed until close to midnight.  The thing was, even though I was exhausted, I cherished working during the quiet hours before the kids woke up, and the peace when everyone had gone to bed.  It was just me, my workbench, and all the sugary goodness in front of me.

Under the Sea Birthday Cake

For a little girl who celebrated her birthday last weekend with an Under the Sea - Mermaid party.

 

 

(The design is a simplified version of Debbie Brown's Under the Sea cake)

 

"Just wanted to say thanks for the cake on Saturday... My daughter loved it and I got lots of 'wow's' at the party from the parents.. One of my friends even said 'it's rare you get a cake that looks good and tastes good at the same time'. So thanks, it was delicious."
