Whats Happening.

Two of my favorite blogs are Cupcakes and Cashmere and Sweet Thing. And rather coincidentally they both do a kind of 'whats been happening to me' post. Emily of cupcakes and Cashmere does a Five things post and Jessie of Sweet thing does a Lately post. I love that they both share things that are happening in there lives with us so I've decided to give it a go as well with a series I've decided to call 'Whats Happening'.




Yesterday I went to a six hour long cupcake decorating and macaroon masterclass. It was fun, although out macaroons didn't turn out exactly as planned. We were taught all different types of techniques for using royal icing, and whilst everyone else was making pretty bows and love hearts I was making bugs and monsters. It was Australia day this week so we got a public holiday, I treated myself to a DIY project (post coming soon)during the day and then met up with friends at an outdoor concert with fireworks in the evening. I love Taco night so its always exciting when that happens.

Birthday Cake




With this weekend being one of my Best friends 21st Birthday, it was the perfect opportunity to do some baking. After seeing this post on Cupcakesandcashmere I really wanted to have a proper go at a layer cake so I headed over to Smitten Kitchen for some layer cake tips. One thing that I have never done before is frozen my cake before working with it, but when making layer cakes Deb from Smitten Kitchen suggests freezing each layer to make it easy to cut it.  









I was so happy with how it turned out and everybody enjoyed it.
