Mmmm.. been baking my butt off today as it's Relay for Life tomorrow and a good opportunity to do some baking and not be left with guilty treats lying around the house begging me to eat them.
Made hot cross buns which is a first for me.. really just wanted to try the recipe and also meant I could eat one of the things I made as I'm on 30 days without sugar and the sugar content in them is minimal.
Also did Orange poppy seed biscuits but had no oranges so they became lemon poppy seed.. and some chocolate cupcakes whihc I think I will ice with either white chocolate butter cream or white chocolate ganache.. still undecided..
Got a pressie in the post this morning! The fondant mould I ordered off trade me for baby hands so I can do cupcakes for my sister's baby shower and also friends of ours Anna and Toby just had a baby, and my Aunty just had a baby.. so will get to give it a good testing!
Also on an excursion this morning without the children I decided to visit BJ Cake Decor.. other than havinga good chat about how useless the cupcakes were on last night's episode of Nestle's Hottest Home Baker.. I bought some sugar paste paints for painting my newly made sugar paste hands.. when the relay is over I will get to make them!
