Blogger Awards and My Latest Creations.



I was delighted to head over to Scissors Paper Rock a couple of days ago to catch up on what wonderful things Claire was posting about to see that she had passed on two blogger awards to me. Thankyou so much Claire :)


As part of these awards I need to share 7 facts about myself and then pass it onto some other fabulous bloggers.


1. I don't like vegemite! I know this is very un-Australian of me, but it is something that I have never been able to bring myself to eat.


2. My favourite colour is purple. My year 10 formal dress was purple, not very stylish when I look back now, but at the time I thought I looked stunning!!


3. I can cook, but can't sew or sing.


4. I am quite shy and reserved around new people, but amongst family and friends am quite forward and confident.


5. I am a brunette, but would love to be a blonde for a little while! My sister is a hairdresser but will not help me out with this!


6. My dad is Greek, but I do not speak the greek language and have never visited Greece. Would love to do both one day.


7. Today is our wedding anniversary, as of today we have been happily married for 13 years :)


So there you have it, a little bit more about me. Now to pass these awards onto some of my favourite bloggers:


* Sweet Style by Mrs A in the Cove
* A Room For Everyone
* A Dream House for Trish
* The Five Year Project


Please head over and visit these lovely blogs if you haven't already done so.


And to finish off here is my latest cake. This was for Andrew who is a Portsmouth FC fan (an English Soccer Team). The cake was cherry ripe mudcake with dark chocolate ganache and fondant covering.




And these are the latest cupcakes. Toy Story Themed vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream swirls for Aiden who was turning 4. The fondant toppers were hand modelled by me.








Enjoy the rest of the week. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the flood effected people. Please donate if you can, a great cause is Baked Relief, that was started by Danielle from Digella Emporium.

Super Comments Award :)

Yesterday the lovely Leanne over at Mrs A in the Cove, passed on the Super Comments Award to me. If you haven't visited her blog, please do.

Why do you Blog?

I have only been blogging for a couple of months now, I was previously posting over at The Claytons Blog, and reading lots and lots of wonderful blogs. Most of what I write is based around the cakes that I enjoy creating. I have gained inspiration from many sources and am now dabbling in creating wonderful parties for my children, so am blogging this journey also.

What are three of your best memories?

The birth of our 3 beautiful children.

My eldest's first day at school.

Our wedding day, January 1998 and then our vow renewal, January 2008.

If you changed your name what would it be?

This is a tricky one, I have never really thought about changing my name! I will have to have a think and come back to this one sometime :)
Five things I couldn't live without?

My husband and children.

My kitchen.

Chocolate and chicken flavoured chips.

My laptop and the internet.

My camera.

Four best books?

I am not a big novel reader, so this one is a little difficult to answer. I am always refering to my recipe books, so it would have to be AWW Cook, The Hummingbird Bakery Cook book, Planet Cake book and AWW Children's Birthday Cake books.

A unique and interesting fact about yourself?

Another one I will have to pass on as I am not that interesting and can't think of anything unique about my self :(


What do you love best about yourself?

That I manage to be a pretty good mum to my children, as well as being a wife and keep our lives running reasonably smoothly. 


The best movie ever made?

I am a bit of a Tom Cruise fan, so that would be Top Gun!! I also love a good comedy, anything with Ben Stiller.



If it were Freaky Friday who would I change with?

I would swap with Julia Gillard, would love to know what it was like to be the first female prime minister!


Best thing about being a woman?

Being able to multi-task!! Being a mum. Being able to wear pretty clothes and shoes.


I am going to pass this award onto some fellow bloggers:



Enjoy the rest of your week.

Mrs KT :)
