    I saw your un-iced pic of the cake and thought "oh, that's like the little one I did for Beth!", but while mine ended up looking like a wookie, yours was divine. And the whole bee-thing - inspired (those are the cutest bees!). What a lovely memory for your month. Hope it makes things a little easier on your Dad's anniversary!
    Thinking of you.

    Okay Cathie...how can you be so sweet & so amazingly talented! If I had 1/2 of your talent I would be a snob :) Good thing there is no chance of that! ;)

    Thank you so much for your sweetness about my Dad. Nothing like a Daddy is there? he is actually doing so much better now that it is amazing! He is home now with my mom & after a few really rough days he seems to be perking up & fussing over us from the chair where we proped him up :) Thanks again for your thoughts! You are such a dear friend!

    What a bee-autiful birthday! Love the bee cake, the fondant bees, the bee-hive. So sweet. Then the quilt, the bunting and what a sweet pirate bunny. You make me want to smoosh up my kids and get them back to being little kids instead of teen-agers! (yes, I so wish I didn't have three teen-ager's at the moment. No one properly prepared me...)

Honey Jumbles

I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat. Simmer for a few minutes, then allow to cool for about 15 minutes Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices and add to butter mixture, gently stir in milk.  A...

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy. Here’s a basic recipe I made using a Cusinart ice cream maker Berrylicious ice cream Makes 1 litre Ingredients     ¾ cup whole milk   ½ cup sugar or honey if you prefer 1½ cups cream 150grams mixed berries, thawed and slightly mashed with a fork Method U sing a mixer or hand whisk, mix milk and sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved   Add cream and mix until combined Turn the machine on and pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let it mix until thickened, about 25 minut...
