Floral Birthday Treats

I have been away unwinding...that was one of my goals for this month! I caught a cold AGAIN...urrgh, so I started to consider the flu jab for next winter...nah! Lots of fresh oranges, lemon & honey, couple if vitamins and plenty of rest. I have been quite run down, so I am feeling GREAT now!

I have been working on re-designing my site and deciding on which events to take part in this year, so this is taking up most of my free time...when I'm not baking! My other goal for this month was to be in bed by 10.30pm (I used to stay up until past 12am!), I have half achieved this, but still struggling to get up earlier. The other goal was to have ALOT more me time...erm still working on that. It's definitely important to find sometime for yourself to clear your mind, empty all those thoughts and worries that clog up the brain...be at peace internally, and this reflects on your outlook on everything. Oh and one more goal...Remembering to SMILE...my name RUFARO, means happiness in Shona, so I am trying to always be happy! Roll on February...

Here are some pics of the Shabby Chic inspired cake that I made my sister for her "3something'th" birthday! She likes all things pretty and elegant, so her cake pretty much summed this up! The cake was was covered in a soft caramel coloured sugarpaste, adorned with sugarflowers, hand piped pearls, floral pendants, and light turquoise and pink ribbons.

Looking forward to posting more treats...For one exciting cake that we have designed, here's a hint...and breathe!
