Oh I haven’t posted anything for a really long time for which I apologise. I have been really really busy since before Christmas. What with end of year concerts, enrollments in kindy, lots of baking, Christmas preparations, I haven’t had time for much else.

I didn’t even organise Christmas cards for Lily’s preschool friends. How terrible. I made these Christmas cookies for a customer whose daughter was giving them to all her classmates. What a nice idea.

I am going to do them for my kids next Christmas (that is, if I can remember).

Not everything I have done has been Christmas though. There are a lot of birthdays around Christmas time. I made these prams for a first birthday.

These are my favourites though! Green dinasours on sticks - what a great birthday party that would have been.

This was my first attempt at a Wiggles birthday cake - the Big Red Car. It was great fun to do. Of course, I did forget a few things, especially Murray’s nose! My daughter spotted that one.

These are my latest hippos. They are vanilla shortbread, with pink fondant, pink royal icing outline and a little blue flower on their tail. They are for little wedding favors. The bride wants to give them to the children who attend the wedding. I think that is really sweet.

I took these photos for my shop and, since I had the cookies already made, I took some with me to the markets on the weekend, along with a whole lot of other cookies. The skull and crossbone ones went really quickly. I think they would be my choice as well - big with lots of icing.

I have been trying to add a few more cookies that I thought boys would be interested in. I have lots of hearts and butterflies and flowers. So apart from the skull and crossbones (which were mainly bought by girls so I shouldn’t stereotype!) I made some great rocket ship biscuits. I am waiting on a delivery of a sherrif’s badge cutter - can’t wait to try that one out.

I have just finished a big batch of mixed kid’s biscuits. I am really trying not to eat too many but it is really difficult. So far, I have only eaten one. Hopefully I won’t eat amy more - will power. The biscuits are vanilla with vanilla icing. They took ages to do but they look good. I have some more cutters arriving in the next week or so, so I will be making more biscuits then.

These ones are my favourites. Coloured flowers - simple and bright.

Since I ate one I really couldn’t stop the kids could I?

I got through making the wedding cookies for my friend’s bridal shower. They were a bigger job than I thought they would be, but I was happy with the way they turned out.

I have been doing some biscuit making lately and have decided to send some biscuits to a friend’s bridal shower, which I can’t get to. These biscuits are really for weddings but I wanted to try some wedding biscuits. My favourite is the wedding cake but I think I will go with the white dress.

This is my first attempt at a Thomas the Tank Engine cake. It was for a third birthday party. The birthday boy was very pleased.

I made a few little vanilla shortbread train biscuits to match.

I have just got back from the Nowra market. The weather held off pretty well - just a little rain. Apart from selling cupcakes, its nice to have a bit of a chat and see who’s around.

 I made some new bisuits to sell as well. Thought I would see how well people liked them. I based the pirate and little girl on some cupcakes I have done. The dinasours with names written on them would be quite cute at a children’s party as a prize or part of a party bag.
