After requesting a crumble for her last birthday cake this year had to be something more special. Luce has always been a fan of "making" couscous, with a little help from Ainsley Harriott. Anyway, because of this I decided to make her a couscous and feta salad. The bowl is a carrot cake, which was tricky to make because the only recipe I had was American and therefore used 'cups', which just seems like the bizarrest way of measuring things. Despite all this I have been told it turned out okay and tasted delicious. The couscous is lemon millions (who knew they existed) and the pepper, tomato, olive and feta are fondant icing.

Happy 30th anniversary Mooma and Poopa!
I finally attempted to make a normal pretty and neat cake and I think this little chocolate number is great success! I tried making an icing shell for the pearly beads (thirty years is a pearl anniversary in case you hadn't got that yet) but that didn't work at all so I just stuck a real one on instead. Definitely getting better at piping details, just practise, practise, practise.

I didn't chose the sloth life, the sloth life chose me...
Happy 21st birthday to me!
Yes, I am that sad, and I made my own birthday cake! So I treated myself to a sloth marble cake a la Loraine Pascal. By using two piping bags filled with the different coloured cake mix, you gradually build it up on top of each other. This took an ironic amount of effort for a cake inspired by sloths.
