Lily and (not so) mini orchids

The evening class that I was attending has come to an end :( This term we made a lily and mini orchids from flower paste and wired them into a spray. The course was a short one, just 5 weeks, so there was quite a bit to take in.

A little thank you

I made these cupcakes for my boyfriends parents as a little thank you for helping out with the garden.

Father's day cuppies

Here are the cupcakes that I made for my boyfriends Dad for Father's Day :)

Yay! It fits!

Following on from the recommendation of a friend, I recently ordered the Silverwood multisize cake tin from Lakeland [along with a few other goodies ;)]. I wasn't convinced that it would fit in my oven as the shelves are exactly 12" deep, leaving hardly any room for the door to close. But since it was free delivery [those 'other' goodies took me over £50... eeek!] and free returns, there was no harm in trying.

Upon its arrival I put the tin together and gave it a whirl in my oven. And it fits! Yay! :)

The tin is designed to be fully collapsible which allows it to be stored flat. It arrived in 7 pieces; a solid base tray, four sides which interlink with each other and two dividers which allow you to make up to four cakes at once. 

When constructed, it is a 12" square and the sides simply sit on top of the base tray.
