On a Cold and Frosty Morning

When I am In a good frame of mind, I walk around seeing things and imagining how good a photo they would make, today I got to take some photos of a beautiful and frosty world. As I walked to meet my lovely friend Helen of HelsBels Blog fame. I thought I would share some of my favourite images that I took today, I am just an amateur photographer who likes to take, what I hope are, interesting photos!

2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,000 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 17 trips to carry that many people.

Let it Go! Let it Go!… Mmmmmm, Cake!!!

What I have to let go is that I wanted to do a Scooby Doo cake for my daughter’s 5th birthday but she insisted she wanted a Frozen themed cake and so Elsa it was!!!

I promised in my previous Blog ‘…No, I’m the Other Sister!‘ that I’d share the making of this cake and I have also had approval from Shawna McGreevy of McGreevy Cakes who’s Elsa cake was the inspiration for my attempt at this cake, which means a lot to me!

I also had lots of guidance from the Cake Guru that is my sister Sarah of Caking it – and the bespoke cake board and support I used was from Fabricaking it. The board was a semi circle as it was also my niece’s birthday and sister did an Anna creation which we then presented together.

Below are the photos of each stage of this cake – this was a dairy free chocolate sponge with Biscoff Spread! Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed this blog! My daughter was very happy with the cake which is the main thing and I was pleased with what I had achieved – and it tasted good too!!! 🙂 xxx
