Coffee and cake

After dinner on Monday night I made myself a yummy perk coffee to have with a banana muffin I made earlier. And of course I enjoyed both while watching youtube

Peanut Butter Sandwiches Cookies/Yoyo's

Yes I've been at it again. I was baking for a friend on Saturday, one large banana cake for her and one std banana cake for Fathers Day, aaaaaaaaaand since I had made been making yoyo's the week before ,you guessed it - turn the oven....lol.

I found this recipe on the joyofbaking website and it's been sitting in my recipe book for sometime, like many others that are waiting for me to test. May have to start up my weekly challenge again..

Cousins

Orchids

I don't know how my mother does it but she can grow anything all year round, I truely admire her dark green fingers. As you I only have green finger tips and it will take alot more practise for me to get them as green as hers

Yoyo biscuits

These take me back.... I've had this recipe in "the book" for sometime now but like many things on my baking wish list they have taken a back seat to life in general.

Tonight the boys are out at Starjam and I'm home alone, I needed to make something for the boys morning or afternoon tea but didn't want to spend all night on them.

And now that Aiko isn't spending the day with Al tomorrow I'm gonna take the smallest one over for her lunch box tomorrow.

Team Aiko - Crew Member

These tags were sort after by many on the day. The wearer (we joked) would have unlimited access to the kitchen, broom closet and the toilets...lol.

Aiko's 1st Birthday cake

Never again...lol. I had this brilliant idea my sister and I would be Ace of Cakes for a day. A "supposedly" 45min job turned into a 2hour job - minimum. There were lot's of confused looks before during and after this process but we're pretty pleased with the results. AND no we are not going into the cake decorating business, we will leave that up to the experts but needless to say we'll try anything ONCE.....

If you wondering why a Turtle cake, it's because when she cries she looks just like a turtle.
