And the moral of the story is...

...don't expect minimalism when you leave a four-year-old girl alone with a packet of shiny cake decorations and say 'just get on with it, lovey'.


I don't see anyone complaining, though.

Flapjacks from heaven

I have been chatting along with the lovely ladies of the Etsy UK street team recently, which is a great, although entirely unproductive, way to spend the day. There has been a lot of talk about the deliciousness of the flapjacks made by Marmalady, so I thought I had better check them out. They arrived this morning and if they make it through to the end of the day it will be a miracle. Really good - chewy, oaty, not too sweet. Must remember to hide them from the kids.

Oh Peggy, how I love you!

This cake is the most decorating fun I have had in a while, from this book which is my current favourite. It's like cake porn - I can't stop staring at it! I am so pleased that my friend's mum is having a 70th birthday party - she really is most considerate.



Also this morning a package from America with another Moda jelly roll - Blossom by Urban Chiks this time. They are like sweeties - I want them all. I really must learn self control before I gorge myself sick.
