These are the spooky Halloween Meringues from Ruth Clemens blog, "the pink whisk"... they look V impressive but are VERY simple...They turned out well and are YUMMY squished together with a little dollop of whipped cream...

forgot to add these pictures ages ago!!! it was our first gingerbread house for Christmas 2010!! It did make it to Christmas Day, sort of, intact !

 

Dave's 50th Birthday Party

My brother in law had his 50th  Birthday party last night, it was a GREAT night and a good excuse to try a car cake (which I have never made before), as he loves Vintage cars... this is modelled on a vintage mg !! Not sure I did it justice, but it was demolished !  (after it got a parking fine from some of Dave's friends).  Lemon cake with a lemon buttercream inside.....Thanks to my Hubby for coming up with the jelly headlights held in with cocktail sticks xxx

Golf Cake for Grandad's 80th

There is an amazing man in our family who is turning 80 this week.  He loves his golf, so I thought I'd try to recreate one of the holes on the course that he plays.  It's a particularly hard "water" bound hole... the 9th on the course.  I hope it looks familiar to him !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

American Visitor

So we had an American Great Uncle come visit this week.... It was also his birthday, so a great opportunity to make a cake..... He's american on the outside and Irish on the inside so..... this SHOULD be self explanatory!

Christmas Cake 2012

My son wanted to have snow people on top of this years' cake so these are for him.....

Simple and sweet... made with fondant icing and some gel colourings for the "accessories"... v easy and looks good.... if it only lasts until Christmas it will be a miracle.

Morning Tea with the knitting girls....

the Knitting group came over for morning tea. So I decided to make it a special occasion with mini victoria sponges.... they turned out really well and I really had fun making them but even more fun with the knitting girls having great chats and tea....

I'll definitely make these again....
