Just had to share

I have been rather busy of late with work and trying to finish of jobs at home, but just wanted to share this moment with you. We recently had our 26th wedding Anniversary and I had a surprise at work in that my husband had arrange for a bunch of flowers to be delivered to me. It's not something he normally does as he doesn't believe in fuss, however they were wonderful to receive and it made the date special, her is a photo, they are truly wonderful.

Birthday Cake Completed

Well I haven't been around much as I have been doing some researching to help me with my cake decorating. Its hard work coming up with ideas but thanks to friends at work I am getting a few requests coming in for cakes to make for them. Here is a couple of pictures to share. I am not as pleased as the others I have done, must have had an off day today.

However on another note, I have just come in from the garden having spent 10 minutes out in the freezing with my darling husband as the space station was due to come over, although it was a bright spot moving very quickly it is quite amazing to think that somwething like that has people on it, I wonder how they feel looking down on us. Anyway this is just a quick post for now I need to get around visiting everyone that I have neglected. See you all soon. Take care.

Completed for Valentines Day

Well, how have you been this wet and windy weekend. We bobbed out a couple of times but didn't stay out long, so I spent the day in my kitchen today and worked on a couple of valentines cakes that I had been asked to do, I hope my customers like their orders.

I have been catching up!

Hello again just another quick post, I have been catching up with my blogger friends and been nominated by Andie for two awards. Thank you so much Andie I am chuffed to bits, here they are everyone I hope I have done this right! Well i now need to nominate someone but it is so hard so I would like to nominate all my friends from blog land, I hope you accept and enjoy the awards.

Following on from yesterday

Well here we are again, I have just sat down to have a few minutes at my computer. Hubby is fed and watered and so are the two dogs. Our older one Kyrie is poorly at the moment we have been to the vets and we have to give her some tablets and I am hoping this will sort things out. Anyway I mentioned yesterday I was making another cake, I know I am posting pictures of it on my blog but the person it is for is not likely to see it, one person may and that is my friend Jenny, but I don't mind her having a sneaky peek before tomorrow. One of our works colleagues is celebrating the big 50 tomorrow and a few of us at work have been planning something special, I was asked to make her birthday cake. What do you think. I need a bit more practice on the smoothing out of the icing but I don't thinks it has worked out too bad. I can't wait to see her face tomorrow when she sees what we have all planned.

Finished model

Well here it is with roses attached, not sure if it still needs a bit more or whether the roses should be placed a bit differently. I am going to e-mail a photo to my "client" and see what he thinks. I have also been asked to do another cake for valentines day for someone else, will post some pictures of what I do when ready.

Playing with Cake decorating

What a cold and windy weekend we are having in Cheshire, it is not very pleasant out there today and our garden is getting a real battering, a lot of our plants are now damaged especially our Australis we have lost all the tops of it now and I am not sure whether it will now survive. We will have to wait and see. Anyway I have been playing in my kitchen and as mentioned in earlier posts I had bought some cake dummies which you can use to practise with. I have been asked to make a valentines cake for someone but he wants to see the design first. Here are a couple of pictures of where I am up to so far. It will be finished off with black roses, which I am in the process of making (very fiddly). I will be taking a picture of the finished example hopefully later on today. I have now started a round design and will be using my cricut cake for the shapes, will post some pictures when finished..
