• Upcycling – Gran’s candle stick and plate become Heidi’s cupcake stand

  If you play around on Pinterest (especially in the the DIY and crafty areas) you would most certainly have stumbled across the use of old plates or pie tins and candle sticks to make a cupcake stand. Let’s face it, we all have old plates and candle sticks ‘floating’ around the house, that we NEVER…

• Mastering desserts – cheats chocolate fondant

  Cheats chocolate fondant was my first attempt to master desserts in 2012 (as I proudly announced to be my New Years resolution a few moths ago)… I would hardly label this attempt as mastering. As the recipe title suggests [cheats], if you get it wrong it will still come out right! Brilliant. I needed something…

• Heidi’s first birthday party…(any excuse to sip on sparkling and eat honey joys!)

  

  We made it…. our (not so little) Heidi is now one! The photo below was taken before all her buddies arrived for her party last weekend. Whilst I love this photo, I prefer the ‘behind the scenes’ shots that show you her true personality…   Wow this is fun sitting on an adults chair… I…

• Rose water meringues

  It’s recently come to my attention that I’m quite confident when it comes to savoury cooking, but I have lost my way with the sweet stuff. Back in my Hotel Management days (when I spent a third of my studies in the kitchen, mastering the finer culinary techniques) I was capable of turning out most…

• Socialising: Photo fun with Instagram

  Do we really need another social media photo sharing site… It’s hard to keep up these days isn’t it? I’ve been having a lot of fun with Instagram (and Tumblr, wordpress, facebook, Pinterest, twitter, google+….). How do they all differ, and what’s the point of them all, I here you ask? Well, this might help……

• Upcycling: egg carton muffin box

  I guess you could call this Part II of Upcycling: Transforming garbage. I have ‘a thing’ about throwing things away that can be used for something else – it drives my husband crazy. All around our house you’ll find items I have saved from the trash that are being stored until I get around to…
