Hugo’s 18th outfit is done, happy dance, on with my jeans.
I am making the Ginger jeans in a white stretchy denim. I am concerned I am old enough for white skinny jeans but the Twins have designed my outfit on Polyvore http://www.polyvore.com/hugos_18th/set?id=178294686 and assure me it is perfect.
I predict I will be so busy on the night I want…[Read more] -

I’ve just been to see a fabulous exhibition David Bowie Is…
Well, he is an absolute genius in my opinion. And I’m sure you can imagine how much I’d love to recreate almost every stage costume he ever wore. I think the silver clown suit with cone hat from Ashes to Ashes would make the best halloween costume ever.
Anyway, favourite quote was Bowie…[Read more] -

That would work fine with cotton webbing, ribbon may be a bit flimsy.

No problem, I think it’s the pastry teacher in me that can’t help but help!
Cake flour is not necessarily self-rising, but if that is what you can get, eliminate the salt and only use 8 g baking powder. In the US, cake flour has brands like Soft a silk and Swansdown… King Arthur’s cake flour is labeled Gueneviere.

A neighbour dropped me off a bag of lemons this morning so I made this for supper http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/20191/lemon+delicious#comments
I doubled the recipe but reduced the sugar by 1/3, still fantastic.
I did add an extra 1/3 cup of lemon juice too. -

i have missed the reveal date because last week i was so so sick last week on my one day off! I have been doing a lot of black sewing though for dance (ballet and tap) since dd is in the advanced group they have to wear black leotards. But of course they can still have fun and individual details…:D

Btw, I love Swiss meringue frosting to finish cakes — it takes care of the egg whites left over. You can also use 6 whole eggs in the cake but the texture will be a little more open and have more crumbs… works fine for cupcakes tho! For white cake, 270 g egg whites instead. Kids (and many adults!) love the white cake with a handful of sprinkles…[Read more]

I forgot to ask, chocolate or yellow cake? You have a few chocolate ones to try so i’ll give you vanilla. This quantity fits well in a 6-quart mixer; it’s originally from the Cake Bible. Bake at 340 F or 170 C… this makes 2 12″ round layers or 10″ squares, approximately enough for 40 people (maybe 30 teenagers!) Grease pan sides, line bottoms…[Read more]
