New Year, New Start, New Blog

Isnt it amazing how you can become so busy you lose track of all the little things, i had planned to start blogging again at the beginning of the year but of course not all things go to plan,

Since i no longer scrapbook, well i do occasionally this blog is just going to be everything and anything now..... :)

Sooo where to start... In the past year so many things have happened, ive qualified as a nail technician and absolutely love it, will post a few pics at the bottom,

Still doing cakes too and continously learning with each one :)

We had a wedding on the weekend at the Redwoods for some friends of ours, i was in charge of make up for the bride and 2 bridemaids aswell as the 70 cucakes and cutting cake for the wedding and also had to attend so had an awesomely busy weekend, the wedding was absolutely gorgeous as was the whole Bridal Party heres a few pics from the day

Long Time No Blog

Well its been well over a year since i blogged last guess i better get my a into g, with the school holidays finally at an end its time to get back to business,


Ive been a busy girl with cakes, but ive also started looking into soap making and other body treats, cant wait to get stuck in a try, just waiting on the postman to deliver all my goodies, also i started my acrylic nail course too and must admit its really good fun and not as easy as it looks lol:D

Well ive made a few cakes lately but been experimenting with different cupcakes too, i made these cookie and cream cheesecake cupcakes, they were delish and terribly bad for your waistline, but i must stress were soooo unbelievably yummy!

heres a bit of a cupcake montage of some of the cupcakes i have made over the year, i had so many picks so might aswell do a big upload :)

Twins first birthday

Well i was commission to make a birthday cake for a couple of twin girls, they gave me the general requirements they wanted on the cake and this is what i cake up with

Loooonnng Overdue

Well ive been very slack in updating, unfortunatley i have scrapped in months been too busy with my other little hobby, so thought i would just pop a few pics up to show you all what ive been up to

New Cake :)

I came up with an idea that i wanted to make a safari cake, scrapbooking has been put on hold for awhile :)

i was really happy with how it turned out, everything is made out of sugarpaste and of course edible, i found it so hard to part with this one.

New lil passion and some ATCS

Well ive been getting into my cake decorating, theyre far from perfect but im happy with them :) The first one, which is the present was my first attempt at using sugarpaste, they stuff can be so frustrating that its rediculous :D

My next attempt was to do a 2 tiered cake, i ended up doing a magic sort of theme, hence the magicians hat on top :)

And of course 3rd attempt would have to be a 3 tier underwater cake :) i had heaps of fun and hissy fits with this one, haha, and learnt a few lessons about making sure everything is completely dry before putting it on the cake :D

Now to atcs, this is the atc i made for the "trees" swap over a scrapbook studio, i used cork for the trunk,

Thanks to all the girls who participated in the "Mixed Media" ATC swap at scrapbook dreams, they are just fab :)


Gorgeous Xmas swap at Scrapbook Studio,

And an awesome music swap, also from Scrapbook Studio, some awesome ideas with these,

MMMM Cakes

Well last night i attended a cake decorating class, thanks Shell for the info :)
The lovely Raewyn showed how to make chocolate bows, now of course i wanted to make one last night but it was far too late once i got home, so got stuck into it today, you would actually be suprised at how easy they are to make and they look absolutely stunning when they are finished, and all completely out of chocolate, every girls dream......

The cake is a chocolate cake, with pure chocolate used as icing which i marbled with white/dark and milk chocolate.
