A pretty pink first Birthday party

Pink first Birthday

Have you ever seen such a magnificent spread? I haven’t been to many first Birthday parties but I think this may be the prettiest I will ever see. I arrived an hour an a half before the party was to start. Both girls were asleep and Sarah and her mum were calmly putting the finishing [...]

Bucci restaurant Brisbane and the Birthday cake incident

It’s a tough life when the most difficult decision you have to make for a day is where to have your Birthday dinner. I’d heard good things about Bucci restaurant Brisbane, a newish Italian restaurant and seeing as Italian is my favourite, the decision was a done deal. I made the booking a week in [...]

The eating festival – aka my Birthday

This is what I woke up to on Friday morning along with a Happy Birthday banner and the smiling face of my husband. It’s the first year I can say that. As you can imagine, a lot of my presents were food-related so I’ll share them in my in my kitchen post next month. Get [...]

Lime & macadamia Pinata cake – Happy Birthday to me!

DSC_3697 - Version 2

For at least a week I had the same after work routine. Come home, change into something more comfortable then mix up another batch of flour and water and carefully apply the newspaper strips to my craft project. What was it you ask? It was a piñata, but not just any piñata, a penis piñata for my friend Sarah’s [...]

Nigella’s chocolate olive oil cake

Nigella's chocolate olive oil cake

It was a tough decision trying to pick a recipe for such a momentous occasion as my grandma’s 95th Birthday. She is the woman from whom I got my sweet tooth (I think) and a lover of all things baked, chocolatey and cake-like. I regularly take her baked goodies so this had to be something extra special. [...]

Watermelon cake – raspberry and hazelnut with chocolate chips

In Monday’s post I took something totally normal and acceptable when asked to bring dessert to a friend’s luncheon but last week, when I turned up with a bright green cake, I think my guinea pigs friends were sceptical. I’ll be the first to admit that on it’s own and un-cut, it sort of resembles [...]

Peppermint choc chip cupcakes – Happy Birthday Dad!

Peppermint choc-chip cupcakes

Just a quick one from me today because I’m off to celebrate a very special Birthday… my dad’s! Dad is a serious peppermint lover. It’s where I got my peppermint tooth from. Together we can knock off a box of mint sticks faster than you can say ‘can I have one?’ The year before last [...]

Baking wedding cupcakes – 100 of them!

100 wedding cupcakes

Excitement was the first emotion that struck when I got the email. An old friend from school was getting married and she wanted me, ME, to make her wedding cupcakes. What an honor. The next thought was a little bit of panic and some reassuring myself that I could do it and indeed was up [...]

Silent Sunday – a visitor, evil, darkness and baked goodies

Happy Birthday hubs!

         

Baby Sesame Street cupcakes – Elmo and The Cookie Monster

Sesame street cupcakes

Sunny day, sweepin’ the clouds away, on my way to where the air is sweet.Can you tell me how to get… How to get to Sesame Street! Did you sing that? I’ve been singing it on repeat since last week. They just don’t make children’s television like they used to do they? I’m so glad [...]
