cake mix...

Lizzy loves bears. i love Lizzy and baking cakes. throw a birthday meal in the mix and naturally this happens...



this is the first cake i have ever made that was supposed to look like something (other than just a cake that is). my lack of expertise in the discipline resulted in an abundance of various leftover sweet stuffs (shucks) and a nearly comatosed Verity from the unavoidable sampling during the 'editing' stage...




jaffa cakes, cola laces, minstrels and a flake made the cut. tea cakes and giant buttons gave it their all but were not successful this time around (fret not buttons, you'll be given a happy home!). natex savoury spread also, thankfully, did not make the cut - if it had it's unlikely this would have happened...



carnage = success

goodbye Karl.

you can get 3 courses at Terre à Terre for £13 these days, Karl and I found this out after spending considerably more on 2. but it's nice to treat yourself, and often. Karl's reward of choice was a new suit from Jump the Gun... his mum will be proud as punch. this is a photo I took of Karl in the botannical gardens in Oslo a couple of years ago...



Karl should be ascending to the clouds right now. fly safe.

p.s. anyone up for bargain Terre à Terre, get in touch
