We had great fun carving this pumpkin today - I'd forgotten how slippery and sticky they are!! It will be great for the Halloween party that we're going to tomorrow.

Dad's Birthday

Hey everyone, it's Lucy (mum's favourite daughter, of course). Today it's dad's birthday so me and mum have been busy making trifles, buying ingredients, sorting our cards, browsing through catalogues and tons more. Dad stayed over at his friend's house last night after a boozy night out, so me and mum were up until stupid o'clock in the morning printing off cards and wrapping presents- we're exhausted! I made Dad a customised card on the laptop and also several bookmarks as he's always needing more! When he saw the card his face lit up and he told me how great it was- he was so elated! Then he saw the bookmarks and I could tell that he was pleased as he's using one already. Me and Mum will be putting the finishing touches to his trifle soon, so no doubt there will be an empty bowl! :-)

Spooooky Cooooking...


As well as making cupcakes and muffins, we also have been making some spooky muffins for halloween! The moulds were only about £2 each from Sainsburys, but sadly I didn't get the definition on the character's faces as I'd hoped. But at least they still tasted great!

Dave's Birthday Cakes




As is tradition, Dave always takes in cakes to celebrate his birthday at work. Seeing as I love baking, I refuse to buy these, so today we've spent making a selection of iced cupcakes, chocolate muffins and banana and white chocolate muffins. The recipe will be posted ASAP.
