For the love of food
As I write this I am glancing over the gorgeous sunrise, pristine blue ocean and tiny breeze. It is absolutely perfect weather so I hope it stays this way! All the wedding furniture is being delivered today so the real preparations are beginning. I still can’t quite catch on to the fact that I’m getting [...]
Sorry if you’re getting a bit sick of my wedding countdown but with just three sleeps to go it’s about all I can think about! Today we’re getting all packed up and heading up to the beach to start the preparations and partying. Mum and dad’s house was cleared of furniture yesterday and tomorrow, in [...]
Ok so I might have made one last Easter treat. Who can resist an Easter cake that looks like a giant edible basket of eggs? It was pretty easy to make. I just whipped up my favourite chocolate mudcake (sorry I was sworn to secrecy with that recipe) and iced it with chocolate ganache. Then [...]
Happy Good Friday! One of the perils of always thinking is that I’m always coming up with last minute idea or things I want to try. I don’t have any time left to try out Easter ideas so I thought I’d make a little round up of my favourites that I’ve seen across the web [...]
I have a rather vivid, almost child-like imagination. Not quite Alice down the rabbit hole extreme but I like to think I know how to dream. I’m always thinking of new ways to decorate, different organising tricks, recipes, cake decorations, places I want to go, things I want to do… oops lost in a little [...]
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear me, Happy Birthday to me! That’s right, on top of all the wedding celebrations going on around here today is my 27th Birthday. Ugh, writing 27 I still can’t believe that’s what goes in the box next to my age but it’s true. 27 [...]
Top of the morning/afternoon to you! I love St Patrick’s Day. Not because I’m Irish (although you would think so with a name like Kelly) but because I love green. Every day is like St Patrick’s Day in my house from our green couch to my little green bunny sitting on the side table for [...]
Call me crazy but I really love hosting parties from a little intimate dinner to a 20-30 people baby shower. As long as I’m organised, I’m pretty good at staying stress free and pulling it off smoothly. It’s when I’m without a plan that I tend to break down in a stress heap that involves [...]
The first butterfly cakes I ever made were from a recipe my grandma gave me. I love baking anything from her old recipes so was eager to try them. Really, butterfly cakes are just jazzed up plain iced cupcakes but there’s something just so delicate and pretty about them. My theme for the baby shower [...]
A few months ago I wrote about my friend Sarah’s announcement that she is pregnant with twins! She is looking so fantastic and we’re all exploding with excitement (yes this year is a seriously exciting one) to meet her two little girls. Last Saturday, I hosted a pretty-in-pink baby shower for the mother-to-be. The day [...]
Stay tuned for lots of sweet pink recipes!
Today I am very excited to play host to my very first guest post! I discovered Mother Thyme a few months ago and I love reading her fabulous recipes. She’s the woman behind the delicious tomato pasta sauce and choc-ginger biscuits. Please make her feel welcome and be sure to stop by and check out all [...]
