Now that I am One...


  

Today is my First Birthday in Blogland - and to celebrate a year of not quite drowning (and waving more than I thought I would), I thought I celebrate with a few cakes....

Little Miss's 5th Birthday & my first attempts at fancy fairy cakes...  



Opps! you might need to turn sidewards for this one


6 Months later & I am creating again for my Best Freinds daughter's 3rd Birthday....


I am getting better at the Cup-Cakes....

Do you want a closer peek?....


40th Birthday Cup-Cakes.....


Chocolate Orange


Tangy Lemon


Tinkerbell for Little Miss's 6th Birthday....


And Butterfly Cup-Cakes for all at her party....


And for my not-so-little man at 9?
A huuuge rocky road/crispy cake with a mean looking Transformer on top....


Well life isn't always about the sparkly!

Many thanks to all those who have stopped by, and for all the lovely comments and kind words sent over the past 12 months, it really has meant a lot....

Love Lydia xx

Ps - Will be doing a 1st Birthday giveaway - Leave your name if you want to be included. Will close on Sunday 7th February

  15. Happy blogiversary!
    I've just found your blog, and those cupcakes are fab! I've been dabling with cupcakes this last year too and they really do go down well with lots of people and since I'm not a naturally creative person feel very proud of myself when I've made some!
    Keep up the good work!

  24. Amazing cakes. I tried to make a cake for my husband recently. Ended up as very bad fairy cakes which I wrote on 'please teach me to bake'!
