Busy, busy, busy

Why is life so hectic sometimes? Phew, I feel like I've been rushed off my feet in a storm of homework, revision and social life. And of course, the latter is the most important! Done many things since I last posted; which yes, i know, was AGES ago. I went to my school's Valentine's dance, which was so much fun. My friends and I went as the characters from Alice in Wonderland, with another two of my friends who went it leopard cat suits! I was the red queen of hearts.

I have also baked, LOTS. These are my two favourite creations- custard creams and berry cupcakes. Thanks to the 'a spoonful of sugar' blog, I made these delicious biscuits. And in case you're wondering, I made the pink icing roses by hand!

I saw Emeli Sandé at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh recently with a friend, Iona (far left on Alice in Wonderland pic). She was absolutely phenomenal, such a brilliant show. I was sitting quite far back, so the pictures aren't great, but the music certainly was.

Now, I really must get back to revision, I was just having a break. But I promise to blog soon!

Love you lots like jellytots,

Hiya guys,

Today I want to tell you about a little something i love to do in my spare time, baking!

A lot of blogs are brought to us by baking people, and are great inspiration. I am not as fabulous are these people but i do try! This year, i did my bronze Duke of Edinburgh and as my skill I did baking. My neighbour is part of the WI (women's institute) and is qualified to judge baking so she was my assessor. The following pictures are of my creations:

Spinach and Feta Filo pie

Cherry and Coconut Loaf

Foccacia

Lemon Butterfly Cupcakes

Candied Orange Cupcakes

Jubilee Cake



And do you know what the best part about baking is seeing people smile (hopefully!) when they eat your baking, then you know it's a real success! Remember after laughter is the best possible medicine, and a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

Comment below with your favourite eats and hopefully i haven't made you too hungry reading this. But if so, treat yourself. I made Mary Berry's Marmalade traybake this week. Yum yum!

Love you lots like jellytots
