Day 316 - Jenna's Little Soiree

Jenna was allowed to have two friends over for dinner tonight for her birthday. I have to say that it was a big improvement from the time where Dale and I offered to host her 7th birthday with 11 children invited (the less said about that one, the better!) Jenna's friends were polite, adored Henry, watched Twilight, helped cook dinner and were no problem! This is a pic of them with Henry about to sing Happy Birthday to Jenna. I made her chocolate cupcakes with a white chocolate ganache. Fun to decorate, but I do recommend waiting til the ganache is set (I got a bit over excited about decorating and they turned a bit drippy). I again, loved Henry's "birthday cake face"... Mummy the cake is on fire!!!

Day 298 - Think Pink

This shot is of the table after a lot of the pink food was demolished from this morning's Pink Morning Tea held at work to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The table looked really pretty all decked out in pink and there were some very creative pink food ideas; strawberries, watermelon, pink scones, pink rum balls, iced vovos, hundreds and thousand biscuits, pink iced oreos, salmon dip, pink lamingtons, cup cakes and more. Special thanks to Peta who took this pic for me as my little camera is drying out after I let it get wet yesterday!

Day 213 - Coffee Cheesecake Slice

Well I have already eaten truckloads of cake this week... what's one more? Feeling decidedly unhealthy, but I was on Morning Tea Duty for Tuesday and I do love a baking opportunity... I think detox will be called for next week...
