Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a glorious weekend. I spent yesterday admiring the gorgeous Grand Wedding Show with some very lovely ladies and my amazing friend who’s getting married this winter, it was such a wonderful way to spend a Sunday! If you were in Auckland, did you manage to go? It was overflowing with so many stunning vendors! Oh, I also stumbled upon this lovely Pastel Blue Petal Chocolate Layer Cake that I’d made for a sweet baby shower a while ago – I love re-finding pretty images hidden on my computer, it’s such a lovely surprise! I still adore how soft the blue is, it’s the perfect hue to match a delicious chocolate layer cake. x

Oh, today couldn’t get any better! Not only is it St Patricks Day where all things green are celebrated. It’s also my wonderful husband Ben’s Birthday – I’m pretty sure he has the best birthday ever, as everyone is celebrating and happy! It’s also the perfect time to bake delicious goodies that are a little Irish, last year I made Ben the most delicious Chocolate Guinness Cake, this year he asked for Anzac Biscuits, bless. I couldn’t resist sharing these gorgeous, and very clever, Shamrock Macarons from Raspberri Cupcakes they’d be the perfect little treat to enjoy with a glass of baileys – or of course a glass, or two, of birthday Guinness. x

Yay happy Friday everyone, how lovely is it that the weekend is upon us again – and not just any weekend a lovely long weekend! Do you have anything special planned or will you be taking it nice and easy? Oh I can’t quite believe that Valentines Day is approaching, how did that happen?!

Well it’s that time of the week again – time for our weekly roundup! It’s been quite a week around this neck of the woods.
We moved house and studio last weekend (leaving us without internet until yesterday….sigh), we were super lucky and won tickets for the Auckland Seafood Festival this weekend through Te Awa Winery, and had some lovely birthday celebrations out with friends and delicious cakes from the lovely Made From Scratch.
The shop also had a big week being featured in the Etsy Finds email with our Full of Hearts gift wrap, our Blue bird gift wrap making the front page and our Your My Superhero note cardsmade the new To & From Valentine’s Day Guide - all of which has left me feeling well – a bit lovely dovey!
With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought I might just theme up this week’s Weekly Roundup with a bit of a romantic feel. We also have heaps of gift tags, cards, prints all for that special day in our shop, so shop on by and have a nosey!
1. These sparkly hearts make the perfect accessory for that sharp blazer or pretty bun!
2. A sweet treat made with bittersweet chocolate is a direct line to my heart.
3. Is there anything better than a luxury picnic with the ones you love?
4. Cold never looked so cute with these leggings.
5. I sure do love a relaxing bath after a long stressful day!
6. Time to spruce up those cocktails…mmm… pomegranate…
I hope you all have had a great week and have fun plans for the weekend ahead! Until next time… x
Oh my, it’s not every day that your baking is published in the lovely New Zealand Weddings Magazine – to that that I’m honoured and beyond excited is a huge understatement! Here is a little sneak peak of what’s in the latest summer issue, if you haven’t gotten it, you must, it’s busting at the seams with beautiful wedding inspiration! x

Cakes and desserts, Made From Scratch |
Goodness me, can any else believe that there are only 5 more sleeps until Christmas, it’s so exciting! I love how busy, relaxing and fun filled this time of the year is, I find that I tend to bake a lot during the silly season I find quite calming potting in the kitchen while everyone else runs around – hehe and you get to try everything first! These oh so cute Mini Chocolate Guinness would be the perfect treat for any Christmas celebration – they would be so lovely served with some delicious fresh summer berries and vanilla ice cream. x

I have a huge soft spot for white chocolate and raspberry – it really is the loveliest match of flavours and is perfect as a little cupcake, plus these cupcakes are so lovely for an afternoon tea, dessert during the Christmas season or even a lovely homemade gift. With all of the delicious summer berries in season at the moment, it’s the perfect time to make a few batches of lovely raspberry curd to add to your baking and oh so cute white chocolate and raspberry curd cupcakes! x
