May is Birthday Month!

There are a few months during the year that are more birthday-heavy than others.


May is one such month.


Last weekend was the bar party. Half high-tea, half nightclub.. all fun! Marshmallow vodka with purple Vok liquor made great shooters. Vodka gummy bears were a success. Some ate them, some decorated their own cocktails with them. Tequila worms were a little too strong for some people, however everyone gave them a go.

Cakes & Sweet Treats by Miss Mia

My friend made the cake for last weekend (and also the one for this weekend). She is amazing when it comes to baking & fantastic, surprising cakes. This one in particular was a rainbow cake with meringue icing & multi-coloured fondant shapes.

SO GOOD! 

This weekend was a chocolate mud cake with raspberry icing. So sugary! I haven't got a photo of that one yet though. Definitely a good match for the backyard, cruisy, BBQ-style birthday party. Very Australian.

If you are in Brisbane, Australia - check her out. She has a Facebook page & is branching out into wedding cakes as well. She made her own engagement cake & is now selling cupcakes.

Also this week was (on a less merry note) my step-grandmother's funeral. 
Religion + Me = BAD IDEA!

I've got nothing against religion. You can believe what you want but don't go pushing your beliefs on me. I respect your opinions by not trying to convert you, please do the same to me.

It was awkward sitting in a church. I was expecting to burst into flames at any moment.

The one good thing about it was the jam & cream pikelets & scones! Definitely one of my favourite memories of growing up with super religious grandparents.
