My latest design , perfectly girly

I was given the brief that the birthday girl loved shoes of all sorts. So i got to work on a nice glam girly shoe cake. It went down really well and the birthday girl has emailed to say how she loved the design.

WOW now thats a dress id like to eat !

I was trying to think of what i would next share with you and i think it has to be this crazy creation. I was searching for something totally different when this popped up and apparently its totally made out of cream puffs! it weighs 20lbs and is totally edible.
Now I'm not sure about you but i know what id be doing on my wedding night if this was my dress !!!

Worlds oldest wedding cake!

Here is the worlds oldest wedding cake! Made in 1898 this cake has recently been donated to a museum where it can rest for its retirement. For this old cake has seen many things, its been on display in a bakers window and survived bombing in the war. It's icing has browned with age but would have originally been white to show purity. although you would be forgiven for not wanting to tuck in apparently the cake is still moist 113 years after being baked!
For the complete history of the cake see http://www.dailymail.co.uk

I doubt any of my cakes will get past the first few days, they always seem to get munched so quick. However in some cultures keeping a slice of wedding cake and placing it under your pillow is surposed to make you dream of the person you will marry, your one true love.

And so the spring cleaning commences, watch out Ebay i'm on my way!

I have decided the house is too cluttered, we have filled a hippo bag with things we are unable to recycle or give away its totally emptied the garage and for the first time since we brought this house we can finally see that you should get a car in there, all be it a very tiny one for a very small person.
If you haven't heard of hippo bags yet let me enlighten you. http://www.hippobagonline.co.uk/ sell 2 types of bag both nice and big to hold lots of your household clutter. You simply purchase a bag from one of the chosen retail outlets. Most DIY stores sell them . Then fill it and when your ready call and pay a collection fee. Its much cheaper than a skip and over 80% of what they collect from you gets recycled. Which i thought was fab!
I have made room for my ever growing cake making kit and i now even have room for more. I shall be planning a trip to this years cake show to stock up more don't worry, i never miss a chance to shop.

Now is a great time to have a clear out, the recycling centres are usually quieter as people tend to wait for the good weather. The Hippo Bags are a great ideal if your unable to fit all your clutter into your car especially with the convenient option of having it collected when you like. I seem to have the spring cleaning bug now and I'm looking for the next little area to declutter no area of the home will be safe this week.

Something to help your little lady plan her royal wedding of the future !

I was browsing online today thinking of all the lovely brides I've been speaking to, when i stumbled across this little set from ELC . I think i will have to buy my little girl a set so she can plan her royal wedding of the future.
ELC Royal wedding happyland set . It would make a great bridesmaids gift for the little ones. I wonder if Kate and William will model their day on this little set, they are rather cute.
