My Bucket List

The other day I sat down and wrote a list of things I wanted to achieve, places I wanted to go and adventures I wanted to take. Below is a list of things that I am going to do. My "bucket list" of sorts.

Stained glass dragonfly cake (for my Mum's Birthday)

Hello Hello!

It was my Mums Birthday over the weekend and I wanted to make her a cake (I mean how can one celebrate a birthday without cake... it's just not possible.). Leading up to her Birthday I asked her what kind of cake she wanted. At first she told me to do anything, then changed her mind to a traditional black forest cake, which is her favourite. A few days later she gave me the specific instructions of "Blue, green, bit of purple. A dragonfly in there somewhere and sparkly."  Under my orders, I came up with this design.

She was pretty happy with the cake and enjoyed her day! Underneath all that colourful icing and sparkles is a moist vanilla cake.  Mainly so I could say the word "moist" when describing the cake. 

Hope you're all having a spectacular week,

Cakes I've made this month!

Hello hello!
I though i would  make a post dedicated to the cakes i've made this month since i've been kind of slack with posting anything remotely cooking or dessert related. The month of May is my second favourite for baking cakes (the first is Christmas, is it sad that i'm already watching Christmas movies during May in preparation? Don't answer that) because it is not only Mother's day but both my brothers have their birthdays and i'm able to unleash my creative thoughts about what kind of cake to make them.

 My Brother Chris is a lil bit of a Lord of the Rings and The hobbit nerd, (i think there's a bit of that in all of us)  I decided to create bilbos house, complete with a garden of tomatoes.

 Usually the eldest of my two brothers will request a cake, last year he wanted a glock gun cake (don't ask) which i did, this year he wanted Bad cop from the lego movie. 

And finally for Mother's day I made my Mum a white and dark chocolate layer cake.

Hope you're all having an awesomesauce week,

Why I write

I casually mentioned in a conversation with a new friend the other day, that as one of my many careers I want to have. I really wanted to write fiction. I've been writing, just for fun, for quite a while.
English, especially creative writing were my favourite subjects in High school.
She asked me what drew my to write, as she told me she really struggled to invent characters and write a short story in class.
I more or less told her this quote, which I figured I would make into a bedazzled quote photo. Why not.
Right now in this period of my life, sometimes it truly is hard to keep hope. I've written so many short stories of things I wish would happen it's almost ridiculous, but It keeps me going.
Sometimes I don't understand what my mind is actually thinking until I write it down and read it back to myself.
That's just a little short explanation on why I write and why I like writing.

Hope your having a great weekend,
Infinite x's and o's,

Elena
