Yes I am alive & baking (Macarons & Pancakes)
Soooooooo ……….I have a new pad.
I am feeling pretty fancy on account of it being incredibly too large for my needs, I like to saunter around it’s naked, unfurnished rooms while waving like the queen. I like to stand on the balcony that adjoins my bedroom, look out far to the city skyline & think everything the light touches is my kingdom.
It has been 3 weeks but my garage is still full of boxes. Sadly 3 of those boxes contain shoes, it is ridiculous….I am ridiculous.
Strawberries with Cheesecake Dip – The story of a very lazy lady.
So right now I bet you’re thinking, what a little angel, what a little sweetie….. how cute! Right?
WRONG
See this is the laziest child known to man. I know this because that child was me, & I am still pretty darn lazy. That shocked & disgusted face was probably in response to my mum asking me to put my own bowl in the sink or worse…make my bed. The horror! Those big blue eyes were the perfect tool for emotional blackmail. heh-heh-he.
Little Citrus & Ginger Pound Cakes + Some News
I have news, big news. Good, awesome big news.
I am no longer a floral design student.
Flourless Crunchy Caramel, Date and Hazelnut Cake (How to adopt a second family via birthday cake)
Family.
You don’t necessarily need to be related to them. They don’t always look the same but they’re a pretty cool thing to be included in. Especially when they like cake & ask me to make it.
Mr Bake & Bloom’s father turned 65 on the weekend (HAPPY BIRTHDAY again Mr Jennings) and I was more than happy to me asked to take care of the big fella’s cake. My brief: Chocolate cake to feed the usual suspects.
Berry Rhubarb Upside Down Cake
I wish I were named Hazel & I lived in an original 100 year old home somewhere in the Barossa. I wish my hair were short, pin curled & blue rinsed. I wish I knew how to play bridge & canasta, because basically I can’t wait to be old.
Apart from the arthritis it looks like a pretty fun time. You get to smack your lips with satisfaction after every sip of tea, ride in those kick ass mobility scooters & leave your teeth lying around the house for your frightened/disgusted grandchildren to find.
Best of all, you are allowed to eat stewed rhubarb to your hearts content.
