Halloween cake inspiration – absolutely awesome cake design

For my 25th Birthday this year I’m hosting a Halloween Party, which is fairly unusual in Australia (most people I’ve invited had to ask what date Halloween was?!), so to get everyone in the mood I sent out some cool invitations and have bought a whole bunch of decorations from the party store in Queanbeyan. I was going to hire Naomi from Hello Naomi Cakes who did my wedding cake to make me a fabulous spooky cake, but as it turns out we’re on a bit of a budget so I’m going to have a crack at it myself!

I came across some fantastic cakes made by the uber talented Mary and Brenda Maher of CakeGirls (in Chicago) that are totally inspiring me to go all out and think 3d for this cake of mine, so wish me luck!

Dinner at the Prague Czech Beer Restaurant

The Prague Czech Beer Restaurant is located in Kings Cross, Sydney. We went there last Friday night with 14 of our friends as part of our October long weekend beach holiday.

Before we went I wasn’t really sure what constituted Czech food, turns out it’s basically lots of delicious meats cooked to perfection. The highlights were the Pork Ribs, Beef Goulash (my choice) and the Bohemian Party Plate.

Gourmet Toast – Yummy breakfast in 5 minutes

Hearty Tomato & Basil Soup with Garlic Bread

On a cold, cold Spring day… No recipe for this one, it’s a (damn good) packet soup and bread from a bag. An awesomely cheap meal, Heinz Simply Create Tomato and Basil soup ($2.79), just heat in a saucepan, even without the frills they suggest (extra basil, pan friend cherry tomatos) it’s REALLY YUM. I [...]

School Lunches – getting on the yummy train at work

For every birthday in the staffroom, we have bagels for lunch. Everyone brings an ingredient, Lisa bakes a totally scrumptious cake, and we have a lovely time stuffing our faces with smoked salmon, creme cheese, avocados and tomato on bagels.

TODAY WAS THAT DAY. And it was awesome. Yes I get excited about food.

Waking up my husband every morning

It takes quite a bit of effort. He is most definitely not a morning person. So I am a good wifey and make him a coffee every morning and then I make myself a yummo breakfast, usually toast with various delicious toppings.
