Gift Giving

Imagine the surprise and delight evoked by the gift of a cake complete with an exquisite topping, to mark a special occasion. It is a moment to treasure. Baking for a celebration is a pleasure in itself. There is the anticipation of choosing the recipe and working out the design for the occasion! I have had the pleasure lately of being able to make gifts for my dear friends, any excuse I say!

This wee gift cake was chocolate two tier, for my good friend Nic her favourite colour is blue! I really enjoyed making this cake was a bit rushed making this one as I had sick children during the week. Having a spare moment was few and far between. 


Over the last two weeks I have had a leave pass to have friday nights out for tea with friends thanks to my fantastic hubby!!
The pass this week was my girlfriend Paula's 40th Birthday so I couldn't let that one go past without a mention.
We had a fabulous dinner out and think we could have talked all night, there is nothing like a good catch up.

This time I attempted cake pops for the first time, I am in love with this cool change from a plain cake.
Was far more intensive that I thought it would be and of course I ate far too much of this mixture as I was creating oops! The cake pop flavour was dark chocolate peppermint mudcake.  And can you believe it Paula's favourite colour is Blue too!!!


Thanks Ladies for the pleasure of being able to create gifts for you both. I am looking forward to improving on the above creations in the near future so watch this space.
