Last Friday, we had some family members coming over for dinner and I wanted to make something special for dessert. Since I was cooking up a storm for dinner, it was tempting to choose one of my easy, tried and tested desserts, like chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and marshmallows…………
Birthday celebrations are always so much fun! I was so spoilt over the last week, with a number of special birthday get-togethers in my honour. Although I’m sad to report that there were no cupcakes to be seen anywhere, there were certainly many other treats to make up for the absence! A lovely lunch and […]
This week has been a time of rest and recovery for me, so I apologise that I didn’t get to try any new cupcake recipes…I’m really prolonging this discovery of the perfect recipe, aren’t I? I just hope you don’t get tired of waiting!! I still have some photos of some sweet and savoury […]
The last week or so has been a time of all things pink. I’ve been to a Girls Night In, a Pink Ribbon Luncheon, my son played a baseball game dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness (with the whole team wearing bright pink socks for the cause), and I helped organise a Pink Ribbon Afternoon Tea.

I just got back from spending a rainy long weekend in glorious Forster. Having “rainy” and “glorious” in the same sentence seems odd, but these days weather is the least of things that could take my joy away! We were so blessed to have been invited by some precious friends to stay with them […]
Last week, I decided that I would make some cupcakes for my first Writer’s Club meeting, which was scheduled for Saturday at my place. The basic aim of our meetings is to get together once a month to encourage one another in our various creative endeavours. We found that some of us love writing, some […]
Every year, my whole family takes some time out to go on a holiday together. When I say “whole” family, I mean the ones who can make it at the time. Along with my gorgeous husband and two precious children, my “whole family” comprises of Mum, my uncle and aunt, brothers and sisters with partners, […]
This week could have been a little bit of a let-down, as my cake decorating course is over, but I don’t see it that way at all. Instead, I am so excited about continuing my journey of self-discovery and healing, and look forward to sharing whatever I find as I go along. After all, sharing […]
