Meg's birthday

My friend Meg made me promise I would make her a cake for her birthday (we had orchestra in the evening and I was seeing her then). I was quite busy (but it was an inset day woooo), I managed to whip up this rather lovely cake with a few bits and bobs we had in the kitchen :) she loved it!!! Her mum even texted mine saying thank you too!!!

This is a really cool heart shaped silicone cake mould - it's so useful!!

I made some buttercream icing (with some careful consultation with my dad on where the green would look like mould or not - thankfully it looked lovely and spring themed!!) I also used mini eggs, hundreds and thousands and these very hard to used chocolate icing decorators

Felt like taking a picture ;)

Flash ruins the quality :( I made a 'M' shaped stencil with some card to to an 'M' in the center for her name) but you couldn't see it so I outlined it with the dark chocolate icing

sun sun sun ( to the tune of 5 years time)

Hellooo;

Anyway this week we've just had our photovoltaic (electricity) solar panels put in this week and we should start generating tomorrow. We already have thermal solar panels for our hot water but now we have 11 brand spanking new electric ones :D !! Apparently they're top of the range as they are 20% efficient compared to the normal 10-15% efficient ones. gxxx 

..and we're live!

Hello,
Well this is my first ever post on my blog, I'm very excited!! A few of my friends have made blogs and and I was really inspired by them - so I decided to make my own. This blog will be all about my goings on and what I get up to. It feels like a very good outlet for telling others about my life ;) hehe. Check out my profile for more about me :) gxxx
