Time For A New Look

To try and get that summer feeling that we are sadly missing from the weather I decided that Homemade Loves needed a brighter look so I chose this gorgeous design from Shabby Chic Blogs.

I hope it brings a little touch of that summer feeling to your day.

The Finished Cake

Well I finally got my 2nd cake finished and I am very please with how it's turned out.

I decided to donate it to my sons school. He has now finished nursery school and when he returns in september he will be in reception class which he is so looking forward to.

Anyways .. back to the cake. I absolutly loved making this. I had so much fun making the bunny & realistic looking carrots

Cake Decorating Part 2

Because I have now finished my present cake my lovely tutor Pat has allowed me to start decorating another cake. I may not get it finished in next weeks final class so I will have to do some work on it at home.

The theme for this cake is a creatures picnic .. this will all become clear when the cake is finished but for now this is what I have for you so far.

Enjoy

Jewellry Storage

I've been trying to come up with some unique ways to store some of my jewellery that is to big to fit into my current jewellry box and have found these beautiful hooks

They are from a company called Bombay Duck and they sell all sorts of shabby chic accessories & furniture. I just love the elegant looks to this hook and I think they will look stunning with some of my beautiful handmade necklaces from Lucy Locket Loves.

It's Been A While

It's been a while since I last blogged. I've been so busy doing all sorts I just haven't had enough hours in the day.

So to update you on my cake decorating course .. I have 1 more lesson left which is really sad because I've really been enjoying it but I will be enrolling for the full 30 week course that starts in September. I have now completed the present cake ... so here it is

Yes the papertowelling is suppose to be there. It is t help support the bow give it the correct shape but I can promis you that it has now been removed and the cake is now waiting to cut and given to hungery humans.

Cake Decorating Week 2

Well it was lesson 2 of my cake decorating course and this week we had to bake a fruit cake and then over it with marzipan and icing and this is the result ...

I even got the chance to have a play around and make some decotations for on top of the cake and I decided to have a go at some arum lillies. I shall have a go at making some more over the weekend
