Cupcake Decorating

Today I had the day off work to go on a cupcake decorating course with my lovely sister-in-law.  It was actually booked before 'The Break-Up' but was lucky timing to get away and do something fun.  We went to Confetti and Spice in Henley-On-Thames - we'd got a cheap deal through Groupon (of course!)


I'm not the best at cupcake decorating (I'm more of a cake-eater!), I'm much better at other forms of crafting (well, I like to think I am anyway!) - but it was still great fun!




The cakes I made actually don't look too bad!  The purple one with flowers on was the worst - my icing didn't want to stay on the cake (it looks even worse in real life - the flowers are decidedly dodgy too, but you can't tell in the photo!) but the rest look okay!


I don't actually feel like eating them at the moment (I'm notorious for my sweet-tooth, but it's not its usual self right now... wow, things must be bad...!)


While we were in Henley-on-Thames, we had lunch and popped into a couple of the shops.  I bought myself this lovely pink timer for the kitchen:




A suitably girlie item for the home, now that I am a lonely spinster woman... (Oh, woe is me!)


Thanks again for the lovely comments.  I have been so overwhelmed by the love and support from friends, family, colleagues, and blog friends... you don't realise how great everyone is until you go through a tough time like this.  The world is full of decent people - who knew?!  ;o)

  5. Your cakes look great, well done! I've just stumbled across your blog and thought I'd say hello, but also that I'm sorry to hear about your break up. It sounds like you made a very brave decision and you've got a lot of respect from me for that x
