Pumpkin competition

We're having a pumpkin growing competition at work, we've all started with a mammoth pumpkin seed. Some have had no luck at all, others have withered and died off but some are doing really well. The biggest so far is Ravis pumpkin (one of my chefs), I think mine is second at the moment. Come the end of the competition it will be pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkin risotto and roast pumpkin for everyone....lol!

Here's a picture of the winner so far............we have until October to beat this one.

My first baby shower cake request......

My daughters friend is expecting her first baby any day now, poor girl is swelling up like a balloon so to make her feel better they had a baby shower for her. My daughter asked if I could make some fairy cakes or cupcakes as they are now known as. The picture was taken on my phone so it may not be the best, but here they are.....

Cake making again......

I was asked to make a large cake with "Happy New Year" on it," it's only August" I thought and it's not a fruit cake, turns out it's for a financial new year......quite a simple cake this time, the logo of the company is printed on a thin layer of sugar paste so it was very quick and easy to make, it just weighed a ton.

The two ugly sisters......

It's not letting me upload the pictures so I'll try again later. Ok, here they are now......

Back to my blog.......

Well it's been a long hot summer and a busy one at work. It's calmed down now and my life is getting back to normal, that means I get some time off to enjoy myself so I thought I'd start my day off with some crafting........oh! how good it feels to be back to my crafting.

I was hosting a Button Fairy swap on DC which should have finished at the end of July but due to my busy work schedule I never got to finish one of my fairies. I finally got her made today, here she is with her two sisters, you might think they look like the two ugly sisters...lol!
