Always with butter

September 6, 2012

I came across this blog run by Julie Marie Craig who lives in the little town of Benicia California. She takes such beautiful photos of the things she bakes and cooks. I was going through her posts and all they made me want to do was get up off my butt and bake like Nigella on a sugar high.

Here are some photos of some of the things she’s made. If you want any of the recipes, just click on the link below each picture xxx

Julia Child could make these with her eyes closed.

January 26, 2012

My traffic lady bought this book in for me to have a look at. It’s an old school cake icing an decorating book. It is so old school in fact that it makes me giddy. Geez, what I would do to get me a ‘Sponge cake Novelties’ cake for my birthday. Look at that thing! It’s magnificent hahah. I love how you don’t know what the hell is going on or where to even start. Shame, it looks like gay over-enthusiastic pizza.

I also love love the baby in the giant quilted bed cake, complete with built-in mosquito net. Hahaha, flip these things made me laugh so hard. I mean when last did you have a slice of hat on someones special day? Bet you the answer is never. What a pity.

I wish I could make them in real life. I just don’t think my baking hands could complete such masterpieces. I need me a Julia Child, she could make these with her eyes closed, which is funny because it looks like they have been designed by someone who had their eyes closed. Hey, does anyone have a spare Julia moping around their house? I’ll take her off your hands for you.
