Don't you love a giveaway?
A few weeks ago I won a fabulous one from Torie Jayne. She was giving away a £60 voucher for CSN stores. I promised her I would let her know what I bought (I only went slightly over budget) . It all arrived this week and I have already made good use of some of my winnings!
As my family is getting bigger and eating more I needed a bigger pie dish so I got this lovely blue Le Creuset dish and it came just on the day I needed to make a chicken pie.
I also purchased two stacking cooling rackes which are fabulous!
I have read so much from Nigella about reusuable baking paper that I had to try some of that.
I also got two flat baking trays for my cookies.
A tin of butterfly cookie cutters
And some square cutters which I shall be using later on today!
Anyway as a thankyou to Torie here is a pretty cake!
A good friend ordered it for a summer party and she wanted me to incorporate the bird house from a previous design.
I also used this trial which I found on Tories blog,(here), she does like a bird!
ps. Happy Birthday Mum
pps. If you live in the USA or Canada, head over to Haniela's blog for a chance to win a CSN voucher!

Wow Natasha, you did an outstanding job, I've got my daughter's 6th birthday party coming up early Nov (it will be spring here) and this would be perfect for her.

ReplyDeleteHi Amelie.. I found you through a friend and love your blog. I've just started one of my own too. Everything you blog about is just gorgeous. I especially love these cakes because I'm mad about vintage, birds, birdcages, butterflies.. So thanks for sharing. :)
