Lemon Meringue!!!
Then a new recipe to try out from Ice Cream Before Dinner
For us Aussies. The butter weighs about 90g, and I used just plain chocolate for the two types. I did find the cupcakes stuck to the paper cases, so perhaps a spray of nonstick spray next time. I used the caramel frosting from the November Daring Bakers Challenge, sprinkled on some chocolate and a pecan. Going to make more of these this week. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate as you know, but they were very very good. Nice and chewy and delicious!!!! Oh and not the greatest photo or decorating job, cause I was literally running out the door.
And finally a birthday gift for Isabelle. I used the Portabellopixie pattern Claire. I made the size 5 and I think it turned out lovely :)
And I received my PIF yesterday from the gorgeous Miss Kat of The Beaded Lady. She knows how much I would kill for rose quartz and that's what I received, a beautiful rose quartz bracelet. Given that this time of the year can be a little stressful, I'll be wearing it non-stop.
So to that end I'm having a PIF for the first 3 lovely people to post a comment saying that they'd like a PIF. You can see Kat's original post here
*wiping up the drool from my keyboard* those cupcakes look divine Lesley! Emily was looking over my shoulder as I scrolled down your blog & when she saw the dress she yelled out 'I want that, can you buy it for me?' lol. I hope Isabelle loves it as much as Emily does.

Well Melissa, you know how to find me if Emily wants one :D
ReplyDeleteI would love a PIF. :P
ReplyDeleteWhat fabric did you use for the dress? I love the bodice colouring.
Tanja the fabric was from spotlight :) It's a poplin, tie dyed with a thread running through it. It does run with colour though, so I would prewash it a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteI would love a pif too
ReplyDeleteThe dress is divine and I have already commented on the beautiful cupcakes :)
Oh I would love a PIF too :)
ReplyDeleteThose foodie baskets look yummo!! Can I look after your kids next year? Hehehe :)
I have that material :) Saw it at spotlight and HAD to buy it, even though I don't know what I will do with it :) Looks so lovely! I think Emily will LOVE it!
You've done an awesome job as usual Lesley - mmm and the dress is gorgeous! :) xo
