...can you see what it is yet-take 2...

You might remember few posts back I had done couple sketches of the Statue of Liberty for a New York themed 21st cake for Stephanie...well the cake complete looks a little something like this! It's a 2 flavor cake, alternate coconut and red velvet layers (got the stripes in but will have to think on better solution next time to getting stars layer involved!) Happy 21st Birthday to my gorgeous sister!! Xx

...muffins make the world go around...

Listening to country radio and singing my achey breaky heart out, I got to making some muffins last night to add to the amazing platter being taken to the Freeman's radiology team today:)

I tried the Fireball Whiskey Chocolate again and was happy once more. Also pleased with Blueberry Lemon and then Chocolate Walnut muffins. All in all a good day which started out with the Thursday Quilting on the Hill team consisting of the lovely Lucie, Shelley and Sylvia- you can find the lovely Lucie teaching every fortnight on the Hill, Thursday mornings from 10-1. This week they started a mixed painted stitchery- all looking very fetching so far!

...oh pancakes you glorious things you...

Well it is Shrove Tuesday after all...and I don't think pancakes are the same without a good lashing of maple syrup!! I enjoyed the superfine pancake variety by the hands of Dad..and they were gooood:)

...fireball whiskey chocolate cupcakes...

Today's day away from the 'Hill' was spent doing some recipe research and play...a bottle of Fireball whiskey and bar of Green & Blacks 85% dark chocolate were my inspiration! The recipe I devised was a dark chocolate cake mix using cocoa powder as well as chocolate chunks in the batter to add a good bit of texture. I cored a small part of the cake out when icing to keep the Fireball taste running through the bite. For my icing I used a mix of Fireball whiskey and vanilla essence to cut against the bitterness of the dark chocolate. I plan to decorate these with Valentine's themed painted toppers, but for now have used edible glamour dust...a girl can never have enough glamour dust!

...margaritas...moustaches...cupcakes...

Last night was spent with the company of girlies Leanne and Kayliegh, we enjoyed the delights of homemade frozen margaritas, Mexican food and Tom Selleck...what better way to spend an evening:) a true girls night we watched Valentine's Day followed by Three Men And A Baby. Good times indeed!

Today was spent on the 'Hill' where the lovey Margaret, Julie, Brendie, Alison and Karen joined in on a good painting session:) I went all cupcakey and this little garland was the outcome...
