One tash or two....

I have a thing for tashes..I like them, no reason why I just do. I got my husband to grow a chopper type tash once, but he shaved it off after a week (boo hoo).
My pal also likes them... more so on objects...sock monkeys, doodles etc.....
I was paying my work pals a visit this week so I thought I would make them some tash cakes, here they are...


I made marbled chocolate and vanilla sponge....


With a chocolate frosting.......








Cake + tash + ladies =  happy days!

A treat or two for mum....

I know it was almost a week ago, but you should know me by now...I take at least a couple of weeks to post my projects!
I spent most of saturday in the kitchen making bits and bobs for my mum and m.i.l.
I purchased the Hummingbird baking book a while ago now and everything I have made from it has been delicious.I started my day by making crumbly coconut ice ( almost mixing in baby dribble,as my little Harrison wanted a front row seat whilst I was stirring it!)
I packaged the goods in cello bags and using an alphabet stamp that I purchased from The range last week I made some tags.







Next on the list was m.i.l's lemon sponge cakes with lemon cream cheese frosting..........decorated with lavender and purple flowers.....






and then last but not least lemon and poppy seed cake (Hummingbird) delicious,
zesty, and morish...like most cakes!!





It was worth all the hard work to see their happy faces and the best thing that I had on mothers day was my little boy :)
if anyone wants recipes just ask, I haven't got the energy to write them all down (tut tut)!!
