Yep, it’s official, I’m moving to the big city of Brum next week. I’ve been offered a job there.

I thought about it and I thought about, but there’s no easy way to tell you. Hehe! This feels like a break-up, when you keep putting off telling the other person until you really have to. Or you could just send them a text. Harsh but at least it’s in black and white.

But fear not, I shall try to keep my blog going and I am moving to a house where the over ACTUALLY WORKS – albeit with five strangers! I’ll let you know how it goes.

Keep baking. x

It’s been some time since I last put up a post, dear readers (if there any of you out there??). So apologies for that. I can only blame it on the Election. I bet you didn’t think I’d say that! Yep, it’s all go in the newsroom.

Can anyone give me advice on butter cream icing? Mine always seems to go a bit Pete Tong.

On a non-baking note I just got called Lady Gaga by an old man while walking through the park. He then preceeded to sing Ooh-la-la!

Perhaps I should give up my day job and sign up to one of those lookalike agencies?! Hmmm..

I read somewhere that baking is undergoing a bit of a renaissance of late.

The figures seem to support it, sales of cake decorations have shot up and I’ve certainly seen more folks loitering with lust in their eyes at the home baking aisle of my local supermarket. I’m not the only one now.

I’ll confess I’ve always baked – I’ve just never blogged about it.
Maybe that’s something to do with never having the t’internet at home?!

Talking of home, I’ve just moved (au revoir Sylvanian Family sized kitchen!) and I’m currently staying with my friend J for a couple of weeks.

Renowned in local circles for her baking skills, I’m hoping she’ll be a good influence on me. I’ve already had a sneaky peek at baking goodies cupboard. One word, impressive.

I’m hoping she’ll be a good influence on me.

Keep baking. x

Hi everyone, welcome to my first foray into the blogosphere (whatever that is).

My aim is to share my  successes (and failures!) in the kitchen as I make my way from enthusiastic novice to fully certified domestic godess.

If you have any success with any of my recipes please post links to this blog and tell your friends about it.  I may even post you all a cheque when I become the latest television chef invading your living rooms. But don’t hold me to this…!
