Rhubarb

I have been spending quite a lot of time at the allotment recently so not much blogging has been happening, too busy doing and no time to write about it!

Our plot has quite a bit of rhubarb which was ready as soon as we got the plot so we have been making the most of it...

Gaby's Baking Blog

Gaby is doing this year's school extended study project based around a very old handwritten recipe book of our Great Grandmother.  She is trying out some of those recipes and in addition, collecting recipes from other family members to make her own collection of family baking.  She is compiling the recipes in a scrapbook and in a new blog, 'Gabrielle's Family Recipes' which you can find at

Strawberry Love Cakes ~ Gaby

 Hello and welcome to our blog, Arty Crafty Cakey Bakey!

 For our first post I decided to blog about some cupcakes I made yesterday. I added strawberry flavouring and red food colouring to our cake mixture to make them even more delicious than they were! I then poured the mixture into a heart shaped cupcake mould and cooked them (Obviously!) After they had cooled down I decorated them with white ready-to-roll icing and sugar flowers. They tasted amazing!
