Birthday's, Cake, BBQ's and Dresses

This weekend I was luckily enough to have my parents over from Lincoln and my Bridesmaids over from London and Dublin so we could go wedding dress shopping.  It's all very excinting and feels like I'm watching someone else try dresses on.  Perhaps because shopping for a dress for your big day is something you only plan to do once and don't do until you are actually planning your wedding it all feels quite surreal.

So after a long day putting dresses on and taking them off countless times we went back to my house and stood in the cold breeze of my garden and had a little BBQ.

We also wished my mum a happy Birthday for next week and had a great time eating the cake I made for her.

Making this cake was exciting for me as for her last Birthday I baked and decorated my very first cake.  It was the cake that got me hooked on baking and my 17th in a year.

Happy Birthday mum xx

Happy Mother's Day!

So it was Mother's Day on Sunday so when I went to visit, as a naughty little treat, I took my mum some freshly baked Triple Coffee Whoopie Pies and some cute Vanilla Cupcakes with a super sweet rapsberry centre.

I knew she wouldn't be able to resist!

Friends and family

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly"

I'm so incredibly lucky to have the most amazing friends and family.  Friends and family that I know will always be there for me and I hope they know that in turn, I will always be there for them.

These same friends and family did everything they could to make sure that I had a birthday to remember last month.

I would be lost without them!
