Surprising Stumblings

Looking for templates and images for my 25th birthday invitation I found the most marvellous picture of Van Gogh's "Starry Starry Night" made out of cupcakes. There are such wonderful creations and findings out in the world. So I am sharing this wonderful finding and creation with you. Enjoy!

My Dream

It has been my dream for a while now to learn the art of (proper) cake making / baking / Pâtisserie. I would love to get my hands dirty creating worlds out of sponge cake, sugar icing, chocolate, mousse, and edible glitter. Ah heaven! Just like the show on Discovery 'Cake Boss', I too would like to make jaw-dropping creations that make people both gasp and drool at the same time. Here are a few pics of just what can be done. I am amazed everyday at what I find. Incredible!

Bunnies and Cupcakes

In December, while I was in Cape Town, Sissy phoned me and told me that she thought it would be a cool idea if we got concept tattoos of each other. I told her I agreed as I had had the same idea a few days before. So when she landed in the Mama City we missioned around tattoo parlours but ended up not getting inked in Cape Town. So finally on Friday evening, into Friday night we got our tattoos. We went to Tattoolya (where we had gone for our family tattoos). Cayla and I trust Ronald, and love the work that he does and I think holding out and going to him in the end totally was one hundred percent worth it! I have been tattooed a few times before, but I am most recognisable by the rabbit I have on my right hand wrist. My sister incorporated this into her design, a rabbit or bunny sleeping on a cupcake. I got just a cupcake. The significance of the cupcake is that I call my sister "Cake" (Cayla), and she also has an obsession with cupcakes. SO this was a no-brainer. The tattoos came out exquisitely. I am so proud of the work Ronald did! I love them.

Capey Town mmmm

On June 16th my aunt Tracy got hitched to long time love and poker lover, Stephen (or Uncle Franky). So we made the trip to the Mutha-City to be part of the bridal party, wear tight, pretty dresses, drink lots of free wedding alcohol and eat kosher cupcakes. It was such an awesome week. Partly because my beautiful cousins from Denver, Colorado were Flower Girls to our Bridesmaids. This is just a small selection of the happenings from that week.
