That Chocolate Cake I Always Make

June 15, 2016

I've received some rather lovely messages from friends but also random strangers about recipes they've made from my site and how much they and their friends have loved them. My scones apparently won a friend of mine a cheeky pash on top of One Tree Hill. I use my blog a lot, it is a handy online record of all the recipes I love so when I am out at the supo and wondering what on earth goes into something all I have to do is use The Google.

I got invited to a friend's 25th birthday gathering and leapt at the opportunity to celebrate with cake!

Vanilla Birthday Cake with White Chocolate Buttercream (and the curse of the overthink)

August 5, 2014

Girls. A good proportion of us I bet are over thinkers.

If only the male species had an insight into the conversations that my flat of all women has. I feel like they would learn a lot about this so called complex female mind that is such a mystery to them (they would probably be surprised at how frequently the topic of sex comes up). Recently conversation has been directed towards early communication upon meeting someone new and how frustrating it can be.
