Sugar

I don't generally have a lot of patience when it comes to decorating cakes, I usually get the baking done and I want to eat the bake. Right away. But over the summer I had a go at some decorating for family birthdays - hence the brightness and craziness! 

Chocolate sponge with bright blue icing, blue glitter and a spongebob topper. This was for my dad, spongebob is one of our silly shared interests. The candles say 'Lost Count' because I am cheeky!

This was the cake I made for my mum's birthday, it was delicious! I actually cheated and got two small Victoria sponges from the shops, then stacked them and covered in buttercream. I surrounded the cake with fresh raspberries and noone candles, and topped with a gorgeous parrot from Tiger.

Considering I work in a cake shop I really need to step up my decorating game - I need to learn how to pipe icing!

Owl Long Will You Be Gone

So I've been AWOL for the majority of this year. But I'm back with some cute owl purchases of late.

The sweetest owl keyring from Paperchase. It's glossy and enameled, at £6.

An owl mug with really nice detailing. Also Paperchase and £6.

These handmade owl gift boxes are actually from where I work! £1.75 by Sass and Belle.

That's all for now! But I'm going to post crafts, bakes and events that are mightily backlogged!!!
