Cake Anyone??


If anyone has a birthday coming up and would like a special cake.....let me know won't you as I would love to make it for you.

I am willing to try any flavour and any style. I am just wanting to try different things and get more practice.

I can not do it for free, but would do it as cheaply as I could. The more I can make the more practise I get. Plus I love doing it!!

Leave me a message on my blog or facebook page and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

The recipe is :-
180g white chocolate
2 cups thickened cream
1 tblspn castor sugar
1 tspn vanilla bean paste
1 tblspn boiling water
11/2 tspn gelatine
Punnet strawberries

1/4 cup orange juice

The Zoo

Very Brave!!!



The Zoo

What a great weekend. Today we woke to an ominous rainy day and the sad thought that we might miss out again on suprising the kids with a trip to the zoo. However we decided to brave the weather and hoped that it would hold out and even clear for us to enjoy the outing. IT DID!!!
It was a great day getting up close with the animals. Although nothing like "Australia Zoo", you still can't beat seeing animals like 'the white lions', cheaky monkeys, holding snakes, spitting lamas, talking Mcaws and snapping crocks. It was great and the kids loved every minute of it. The highlight was getting to hold the slithering python!!
