Lets Go Fly A Kite

What a miserable rainy day it's been here in the UK.  So what better to cheer yourself up than a look back at holiday snaps?

We were in Morcambe last week for a lovely relaxing holiday in my parent's seaside house (pictures here)

The first day of our hols it was the annual Morcambe "Catch the Wind" kite festival.

We have somehow managed to miss this event every year which is a shame, as it is really fantastic to see all the kites together. I think I like the diver best!

I hope it's warm and breezy with you.

Some old favourites

I had some commissions (before I went on holiday) for new versions of old favorites.

I thought I would compare and contrast.

Another teacup cake for another 90 year old, I have done quite a few 90th cakes, I suppose it's really something to celebrate.  No 100th yet, but hopefully one day! The new one is in blue, I loved the colourway.

Then a wedding cake version of my 30th Cake.  This is the most viewed cake on my flickr site but I've never been asked for another one, until now.  The bride was having a shabby chic themed wedding and had made so many of her own decorations, They were fabulous. The cake table was covered with a vintage lace shawl and she had made her own topper. It all looked great!

Twisted-Fete cookies

Hello lovely people!

I'm afraid that once again I must apologize for neglecting you.  I have just come back from a lovely week away with Mr LD and the kidlets, and before that things were going a little crazy!

So it's time, now that things have calmed down, to catch up.

First is a batch of cookies I made for a 40th Birthday. The theme was a Twisted-Fete.  So I decided to paint some old fashioned fayre freak shows.  They still needed to be be beautiful and women.

I made entrance tickets for the tags.

I think the bearded lady was my favourite, although I do like the strong woman's frilly leotard!

Cakey Perry

Hi all,

It's only a week before the amazing Cakey Perry high tea experience, and I have been spending this week with Miss Cakehead, making and crafting and sticking an awful lot of sweets onto various different surfaces.

You can keep up with progress on the event here, but I thoughtyou might like to see some of the things I've been up to...

I have made two dummy cakes to be used as centrepieces, and I'm hoping that the press night doesn't get too out of hand and people try to eat it...

The tickets are selling fast, so if you want to share in the sweet fest, get you tickets from here now!
