Children's Centre Bake Off

This weeks update is a day late as yesterday involved a somewhat fraught trip to ikea but by the end of it we have now ordered all the kitchen units but (long story) no worktop! Now we have 2/3 weeks to clear a space in the garage to store the boxes until we can fit it! At least we are getting nearer to the new kitchen!

Anyway this week was the bake off for the children's centre who were raising money for Derian House.  I decided on cake pops as they're a bit different to cake and had a batch of cupcakes as backup incase they didn't work!

The cake pops arose from the cake disaster last week and using this fab tutoriall from the amazing Elise at my cupcake addiction - I love her ideas

So here's my version:-

Not quite as stressfull as last time but I've got different lolly sticks which are smaller and fit into the stand that seemed to get broken in the paddy of the cake pop catastrophe the other week! So had to be taped up with parcel tape!

The cupcakes were a little basic as I didn't really have a plan! So they ended up just with jungle animals on! This is what happens when you have no clear agenda!

Next week is a whole new challenge if it goes as planned (which knowing my luck it won't!) it should be fab and I can't wait to show you!
