Wow, I can't believe that we're into December already! When I was younger I always remember December going so slowly (probably because of all the anticipation!) but already, it's the 5th! Have you got Christmas sorted yet? Nope, neither have I!!
The beginning of December as it always does marks my Mamma's birthday. So the other day, my sister and I were frantically making her a birthday cake. We gave Mum strict instructions that she wasn't allowed in the kitchen as 'we were 'making' something. I have no doubt that Mum knew it was of course a cake we were making. I can't think why... maybe it was the wafting smell of cake coming through the house and the clattering and whirring of baking utensils that gave it away.
Seeing a Keep Calm cake in the shops (something that my Mum quite likes) we decided that we could probably do a good enough job and so after a few hours in the kitchen produced this:
Not bad I don't think. This is the second cake that my sister and I have made together now. There seems to be an agreement that I make the cake and she decorates it as she's pretty handy with an old icing bag!
Handing it to her in the morning adorned with candles, I think it was a success that she enjoyed! Making a cake is always better than buying one I think!
Well hopefully, I'll be on here a bit more in the next few days. I've been quite busy at college and there's a couple of things that I'd rather like to show you all. See you soon!
