Floriade Picnic & Evening BBQ

 
Ahh spring, the time for picnics…we’re going to the Floriade today so I baked some oatmeal biscuits to take along and enjoy under the sun.

We’re also going to a dinner barbecue straight after so I made a 9-Grain Choc Chip Bread and Butter Pudding. There were doubts at first about how making it healthy (using grain bread rather than white) will affect the pudding…but it worked!

Trifold Card

This trifold card is part of the spotty series that I submitted to be published in the Handmade Living book - and it got accepted!

Trifold cards are quite unique and provide a number of little spaces to put individual messages or greetings.

Trifold card - $6 each, includes envelope.

Nappy Cakes

Nappy cakes are awesome presents for expecting parents - afterall what baby wouldn't need one?

Happy Birthday J & M! - 3 Sept 2010 @ Vie

J's Special Birthday Pop-Up Cake

 


I'm quite proud of my very first attempt at a "pop-up" cake. The cake is really a single chocolate cake with two layers that I have popped the middle of to make a second tier. One tier for sharing and the top for the birthday person to take away for later.


I was particularly happy with being able to marzipan and chocolate fondant a sponge cake too! It was an unusual feeling when each smoothing stroke feels real bouncy! You can see the two layers on the left plus M's (who also had birthday in September)!

Wedding Regrets, W & A - for 25 Sept 2010

Made this card to RSVP for cousin W and A's wedding. 

Sadly it was to send our regrets that we could not be with them on such a special day...

We'll be thinking of you two! XOXO
