Naughty blogger, being absent for so long without a crappy excuse. Whoops!

Since my last post, we have become parents to a 10 week-old Burmese kitten. We have named him Milo. This is partly because he's a chocolate Burmese and partly because B won't let me name my first-born son Milo (a long-time dream of mine).

Wanna meet him?

He's so much fun to have around and he's definitely good practice for parenthood - the early morning crying, the mess everywhere, the discipline when he goes where he shouldn't, the endless expenditure on food and toys and things to contain poo...we'll be fine when we do eventually have kids.

I have baked a few times but have struggled to find time with shifts at the moment. I made some fun cakes for my birthday party and was in so much of a rush to get the finished, I forgot to take pics. Cakes & More are holding a cupcake decorating challenge from 20th May to 20th June, so I plan to have a few good sessions with fondant, flowerpaste and my cutters. I'm planning to try out royal icing for the first time and also a few new types of frosting.
