WOW!! That's fabulous Renee - your friend is going to be thrilled - say Happy Birthday to her from us please.
(I will be sure to have the appropriate ingredients installed in my cupboards for when you finally visit here - just so you can keep honing your skills of course.
I saw that cake on FB too; yours is too cute and turned out very well. I'd have you make me one, but I don't think it would hold up to international travel.
Sorry I missed the drinks party Renee - we are all suffering from some strange/gastly cold cum flu thingy here right now, so I'm actually glad that I didn't join you all and pass on my horrid germs!!
That's some snow you have there!! Things are similar over here too - sunny days/rain/sudden snow shows arriving out of nowhere - I cant believe that April is just aound the corner - we need some proper warmth to get the grass growing again!
