Chelsea buns

Focaccia bread

Made this sundried tomato and red onion focaccia bread last night. I used rosemary thyme and basil herbs from the garden, it smells delicious. Havent tried it yet as Ive popped it in the freezer for Saturday when we have people over. I will warm it slightly and serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.Yummy.

Time for baking bread

Now I have less cakes to think of I thought I would bake a loaf for the weekend. This is wheat and rye bread. Smells nice...

Gold fishy

Last night at college

Mixed feelings as I go off to college for the last time. I have achieved so much and am so pleased with myself but I am so sad it's all over. The hard work has definately been worth it. Assessment night tonight so finger crossed... Update later.xx

New books

Wow.. Look what I treated myself to.

Reminded me of the yellow roses on my wedding cake

Made pastillage tonight. Sugar that sets hard after being molded. I made a yellow rose. I have lots left so think I might get the kids to help me with some other shapes. Also practiced making a sugar piece, a fish. Will have to practice this weekend as mine looked a bit like those scary fish at the deepest parts of the ocean!!!

modelling chocolate

spent the evening watching a chocolate demo before having a go at my own creation. Not sure that it is very good, but quite enjoyed myself and maybe with more practice..
