Five days somehow turned to five months...

Writing a blog a day when you have my life which never ever seems to be quiet, turned out to be a little over adventurous. I think I blogged myself out. And so here we are, now in June (yikes, how did we get here so quick?!) and I thought I would start again. Definitely not a blog a day, but maybe one a week..

I'm not covering the last five months because that would be the most ridiculously long blog ever. But what I will tell you is it's been a very testing five months. Well, testing yet rewarding. Dan and I had our one year anniversary, which was perfect and we also had his 21st, again which was pretty perfect. We've had some lovely weekends away, which I will share photos of with you at a later date and now... we are flat hunting! Mainly because living here has been the most testing part of our lives.. but like I said, I'm not going into that. 

So yeah, flat hunting. Exciting! We have literally looked through hundreds of flats and we have our first viewing on Wednesday. I can't wait. It's not too far from home, close to Dan's work and hopefully it'll be perfect access wise, fingers crossed.

Also, I've just completed and passed my PTLLS qualification which means I can now teach adults and I'm currently half way through a cake decorating course at Slattery's, which has lead to me getting quite a few cake orders! Frosty's Little Bakery may just be taking off! Watch this space. 

I met some great people on the PTLLS course, a few of which have turned out to be really good friends, with good contacts too. One of them is a fashion designer and we are so similar in our likes and dislikes that it's scary and the other is just setting up their own business which I'm giving them a hand in designing the webpage and promotional material for. They are both people who bring out the creative side in me and I'm really enjoying that.

I'll post some pics maybe tomorrow of the things I've been working on :) and head over to Frosty's Little Bakery to see photos and details of my latest cakes!

My first cake of the year!

10.01.2013

 

 Today was all about the cake making! My favourite thing to do! It was for a friends 50th birthday and she's a big fan of my cake so I promised her I would make her a cake to remember. As you might remember, last year I did a chocolate course at Slattery's and my mum and dad bought me some of the equipment I needed for this for Christmas so with Cath being a big fan of chocolate as well as my cake I thought it was the perfect time to put them to use.

 

It took me most of the day to do it but I think that's just because I'm still getting used to the skills and equipment and things, I think once I've got the hang of it I could do some really nice work, and hopefully make some money in the process!

There's not much more to say really other than to show you the finished product and see what you think....

 

Head to toe in chocolate.. Thank goodness for hair nets!

If I had to make a list of of the Top 10 days of my life, today would only be beaten by the day I scored my first basket for GB and the day I met Dan. And its him who I have to thank for this day happening.

It's my birthday next week but I was lucky enough to get one of my presents early as Dan had booked me on a course at Slattery's, which is a very upmarket chocolatiers in Bury. The course was a Chocolate Wedding & Celebration Cake course and it's something I've always wanted to learn more about, especially since becoming addicted to shows such as Choccywoccydoodah! I've always known about Slattery's but I didn't know they did courses until just recently and within a week of me finding this out, Dan had booked me a place knowing how happy it would make me!
