This post contains my outfits from yesterday and today as well as the baking I mentioned in my last post.
The dress I'm wearing here has fast become my favourite for its softness and warmth and pretty lace detailing. I only blogged it a couple of weeks ago, when it was brand new but love it enough to post it again ;)
Today my outfit was more about comfort and practicality for being in the kitchen all morning, so jeans were slung on with a pretty top to make it more feminine.
And what did I bake?
Well last week my Mum came home from work with a request from one of her colleagues who has her birthday tomorrow.
She wanted 2 plain cakes, decorated as I wished, as she had become a big fan of the stuff I send in for the staff (recent favourite is flapjack)
So, plain cakes it was
A decoration wise?
I have some Cath Kidston writing paper and one sheet is pink with white stars, I love it and thought it'd be a nice concept for a cake...so...
What the photos dont capture, is that I used edible glitter mixed with liquid glucose to make the stars sparkle. It is such a pretty effect but was really simple to achieve.
I'm off now to rest my aching arms. Tis the only downside to baking everything from scratch!

Wow, they look amazing! I'd always wondered how to make edible glitter and now I know!
I know what you mean about the achy arms, I made pancakes from scratch yesterday and had to mix for ages to make sure they weren't lumpy!
