What a busy weekend. I was quite happy to come into
work this morning, just to have some ‘down-time’.
I started baking the moment I got home from work on
Friday. I had just put the second sheet cake in the oven when I calculated and
realized that I was not going to have enough eggs. So I hopped on my bicycle,
raced to the shop and bought some more eggs and raced back home, before the
cake got burned.
In between baking I had to make dinner so by the time
I was done it looked like a bomb had exploded in my kitchen.
Saturday morning started quite early, Tiger had a
football match (luckily Cat didn’t have swimming) and I had to get started with
the frosting and decorating. Then Cat said that she wanted to go shopping so ½
through decorating we stopped for a shopping break.
The cakes made it to Duffel in once piece and Alannah
was thrilled with her House of Anubis/Egyptian inspired cake as was Cat with
her peace (Mercedes sign, oops) cake.
The party itself was dead easy. Thanks to Noreen who
very generously hosted it again. The kids were busy on the bouncy castle and
the adults were eating, drinking and having a good time. I think we only left
there after 10. Cat stayed behind so the girls could have a sleep over, clearly
they didn’t see enough of each other during the party.
Sunday was a blur of activity, cleaning and laundry
and school work. Honestly, I think I have more ‘down-time’ in the office than
what I do at home, (good thing my boss doesn’t read this).
Oh and can you believe it, on Saturday my dear
daughter told me that I totally embarrass her and really she would not mind
going shopping on her own next time. But she was glad that I was there to carry
all her shopping. Especially since she never though about how she was going to
manage all her shopping bags on her bicycle.

You're amazing! I love the bike ride to get eggs. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThose are some fancy cakes - great job!
ReplyDeleteYou're so good. I would have run out of eggs and went to the bakery instead!
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC job on the cakes! You are incredibly talented! I'm totally laughing at the image of you covered in flour, biking to the store for more eggs. Maybe you weren't covered in flour, but it looks funnier in my head that way. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThose cakes are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI think you just gave me a glimpse into my weekend coming up! Having a party for my youngest on Saturday and I have not begun to get organized. Eek
ReplyDeleteNow those cakes, they are AMAZING!!! Off to Pinterest to get some inspiration for our big day :)
