Hello!
I made an Elmo cake in the weekend for my very good friend Beth's nephew Jamie's first birthday. It was a lot of fun although I managed to cut my finger badly and also my thumb - how do you cut yourself decorating a cake? Well I'm just that damn clumsy. I was pretty happy with how the cake turned out - but also learnt some good lessons about trying to make icing red!
Hope you all had a nice weekend - less than 4 weeks till our wedding now! Argh!
Love,
Mindy

2009!
Well, it's 2009 and despite the impression this blog may give, I have been doing stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. Unfortunately blogging has not been one of those things - until now. So to kick off I'll give you a very brief photo overview of what I've been doing in 2009!
Well I sat around in the sun with Darren, Claire and Dad and we read Tintin!
And Amy and I made a whole wedding cake! All by ourselves!
It tasted great and looked very beautiful! Not as beautiful as the bride though...
And the bride was Kirsty and I was one of her bridesmaids!
Also for some reason Claire, Ame, Mum and I all dressed up in matching T-shirts and went for a run.
I went to a great welcome home party for Nick, Natalie and Adam, at this party Adam ate pies.
I made some pretty cupcakes.
That had pretty blue flowers on the top.
These were for another beautiful bride - it was Charlotte and Jeremy's wedding!
Oh somewhere in that time Darren and I got our first house.
And also I shared my cupcake making skills with Anca who was a very cool person who I got to meet, spend a few weeks working with and then say goodbye :( As she went to the UK to replace me.
I went to the Watchmen movie, loved it, and showed my appreciation the best way I know how - a cupcake homage.
I also went to a really fun cocktail party at Beth's and got dressed up all nice then pulled a strange face in this photo.
And most recently I made St Patrick's day cupcakes - yes the actual cupcakes are green!
Unfortunately you get to miss out on my 6 year old's birthday party cupcakes, and my Christmas cupcakes (which weren't in 2009 anyway) as I seem to have lost those photos.
Photos of the Elmo cake I'm doing this weekend will come soon though!
