So far this month I have had two colds which I have had to fight with steaming hot mugs of lemon, garlic, ginger and honey. Oh yes and of course aspirin and paracetamol. I hope you are all well and if not I recommend the above although the garlic will leave you a little unpopular with friends and family.
On the up side of being confined to the house I have been able to make lots of minis without the distraction of the gym (namely the guilt for not being there).

Cakes, Cakes and More Cakes

It's seems like ages since I last blogged well, I don't know what I have been doing, maybe just chasing my tail as usual. Although I have really got into making patissiere cakes and I am really enjoying it.
Here's what I have been upto. Besides working on my own website. I never realized there was so much behind the scenes work to be done!

What a Week!

My pasta machine has just ground to a halt. After I tried to fix it, remember the knocking noise well it was back. So I dismantled it and oiled it and after an hour of trapping my fingers, fiddling with tiny nuts and the odd expletive it was back together again. This time it would no longer turn. I have just ordered one from Ebay. But being me I didn't check the postage details. Apparently they guarantee shipping within 10 working days doh!

Then to add to my woes my little cat has a skin infection and I have to bathe her paw twice a day and apply cream. Lets just say shes not keen. Although after the 3rd time I think she has resigned herself to the precedure. She doesn't growl and hiss so much now.

On a more positive note I finally finished my Alice in Wonderland themed cakes and here they are.

Caveman and Technology Strikes Again

After I upgraded by blog I could not work out how to upload new pictures so, I have reverted to the old format of blog. Afterall I had not worked out how to use any of the new settings.

Today I surpassed myself I decided to sharpen my dress making scissors as I was altering a dress for my holiday. Don't ask me what happened I just managed to completely blunt the scissors with the new knife sharpening gadget I had bought. Not to be out witted I then tried to sharpen the said scissors with a knife that I had already sharpened- not one of my good ideas. I now have a deep cut on my thumb and blunt scissors. At least I still managed to alter my dress.

On Tuesday I will have to take the blunt scissors to the professional sharpeners and see if they can work their magic. Before the tradegy I made the above.

For all of you that celebrate Easter - Happy Easter - but do not eat too many eggs I had to retire early to bed on Friday feeling a little unwell after over indulging.
