Cake for breakfast

I am an avid believer in breakfast even if it's just a slice of toast it makes the day go better. So this morning I find myself forfiting breakfast to get the girl's out of the door for school and daycare. As I stand in the kitchen this morning I wonder what I should have for my breakfast and decided in one split second that I will eat cupcakes for breakfast why not! Not great for dieting but to be honest am always on a diet and it was yummy.

Am reading this 8 hours later tell me am not the only one that has done this! At least am admitting it ha.

Lion, tiger's and bear's oh my...

I forgot how much I love baking....(well actually I don't love baking) ...but even more I love love decorating. I decided to take a two month break as I was feeling like my work was just not good enough. My problem is I am a perfectionist when it comes to cake. I want it to be perfect as every birthday is special. So this past weekend I was asked to do not one but two cakes for my niece and nephew.

I forget what pleasure it is to see the children's faces when they see these decorated cakes. Thijmen had turned 2 in July over the summer vacation period so we were celebrating with his baby sister Fenne who turned 1. Thijmen is mad about animals so I made him animal cupcakes.



I made the little one a ladybird to match her sunny personality. It was my first time making a bowl cake which I loved. It was so simple but what I have learnt about cake decorating. Simple is enough a bit like life!
