Wedding Wishes

Hello All,

Every weekend seems to have been so busy recently. I love the fact that I'm getting out of the house so much more but boy it's tiring! It's been worth it though. We've had some beautiful weekends in the company of beautiful people. It's strange, while some parts of my life have effectively 'died' some parts are coming alive again.

So this weekend was spent at the wedding of our beautiful friends Simon & Rowena. They had a lovely, small, intimate wedding that was just perfect. Mr Lardshow and I spent the day taking notes and thinking about what we want for our wedding.

I think we enjoyed the wedding so much because we paced really well. I let Mr Lardshow sort everything in the morning so I wasn't already exhausted by the time I got in the car. After the ceremony we took some time out and went for a relaxing picnic by the river. By the time the evening do started we felt relaxed and revived. Perfect!

A few years ago I made the decision to try to make presents for people if I could rather than buying something people don't want. So for Simon & Rowena's wedding I decided to make them some Mr & Mrs biscuits and a lovely, tiny wedding date cushion. Hope they liked them.

My lovely mummy helped me to get the cushion finished & Mr Lardshow was an outstanding biscuit tester! What can I say, its just a gift he has! Have a look at the pics of them and let me know what you think... Hoping everyone has a beautiful day! xBx

Camping Cupcakes

Morning all!
My lovely Rachel's here! She's being very helpful and is making me pace. There's an extra need for pacing today because tomorrow we're going CAMPING!
I have not been camping for years, all our holidays as a child were camping ones. I was always happiest in a tent, in a field with a sheep near by (just the one sheep mind).
So the wheelchair is booked, frozen sponges are chilling in the freezer and the hot water bottles are ready. I really hope I manage this weekend. Cross those fingers...
So anyway Rach and I have done some quick baking. We've made these lemon & raspberry cupcakes. I got the cases from Sainsburys, they're little pudding pots for picnics. I think they almost look like tents, don't you?
So after my rest if Rach let's me go back into the kitchen I'm going to drizzle some lemon icing over the top of them...delicious!
Have a beautiful weekend everyone, the sun is promising to be out...don't forget that suncream!

Birthday Passion Wagon Bakes

 Hello all,
Life has got the better of me this past week, pacing is extremely hard to do when you're trying to pretend everything is normal. I had great plans to post on Saturday but unfortunately a bit of an incident occurred with my head and a cupboard door. The cupboard door fared much better than my poor, poor head! 

I don't want to be an 'occasional' Blogger, I really need to get back into this, so here goes!

Months ago we found this darling camper van and we've been saving it for the birthday of our dear friend Adam. He loves vw's and as we couldn't find a beetle this was the next best thing.

Mr Lardshow is currently delivering the little cakes to him. Hopefully he likes them. I'm slightly fearful the vw will have sunk into the cake!

Here are the little camper van cakes...enjoy! xBx
