For the love of food
You might have seen some of my excited tweets on Saturday. It was my hens party and oh what a night it was! All I knew about the night was that I was to arrive at my parents’ house at 5pm and I was to wear black or white. That was it. I walked in [...]
On Saturday I was one lucky girl. My sister Anna, friend Sarah and mum threw me the most beautiful bridal shower. The colour theme was… you guessed it, green! It was quite a coincidence that it also happened to be St Patrick’s Day. Mum’s house was transformed into an amazing land of green. Everyone got [...]
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.

Today is my cousin’s twin boys’ 3rd Birthday. Happy Birthday boys! Of course a Birthday cannot pass without taking cake to work/uni/school or in this case kindy. Thinking about it, it’s really quite a strange thing to do. Why, when it’s your Birthday should you be the one to give people cake? Shouldn’t it be [...]
These deliciously cheesy pinwheels are a quick and easy party appetizer and not too naughty at just 40 calories per piece. Made up mostly from items you’ll have in your pantry or fridge, they’re also very budget friendly. Lay out one sheet of low-fat puff pastry and spread with pesto (or basil in a tube) [...]
Happy Halloween everybody! I am writing this one with a slightly sore head but an even sorer stomach after our Halloween Birthday extravaganza last night. Everyone had a freakishly fantastic night and the costumes were brilliant. Of all the costumes we could have chosen though, two girls came as witches and we had two very [...]
