August in a glimpse...

Good morning everyone!  Hope you had a great Fathers' Day weekend!  My hubby sure was spoilt with love, laughter, and cake!  Will share more of that tomorrow, so be sure to come back.

Today I am delighted to 'begin' a monthly summary, where I'll be posting little glimpses of what I shared with you each month.  Not sure why I didn't think of this sooner.  Enjoy!

CUTEST

I started August off with sweet cake pops, which I renamed PARTY POPS!  A sweet treat made from left over cake scraps and covered in sprinkles!  Yum-oh!

COOLEST

Then we shuffled the streets of London with dancer Kimberley from Vibe One, who asked for a special cake delivery for her bf in Auckland!  How sweet!

MOST PINTEREST-ING

Of course goes to the Pinterest Challenge we did with Katie, Sherry, Lana and Emily.  Everyone shared amazing work!  Good stuff guys!

OLD SCHOOL

...goes to our trip down  memory lane where we visited my life as a dancer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! Good times!

RANDOM-EST

...has to go to the 'deer' action we had on our street.  Random and cool!

FASTEST

...goes to the little quickie action in the car with a cake!  There's gotta be a first for everything, right?

BEST MUSIC

...goes to DJ Kiwa who rocked the house!

BEST DANCE

...goes to this awesome dancing!!

BEST ROMANCE

...goes to the 'Love' cake I made for my hubby xo

MOST CHALLENGING

...undoubtedly goes to the MJ tip-toe shoes cake.  I can still remember the sleep deprivation, lol!

MOST SIGNIFICANT

...goes to the colourful confetti cupcakes made for my eldest son for making significant progress in his reading.  Well done! :-)

MOST THOUGHTFUL

...goes out to the bake sale held at Delish Cupcakes where I, along with so many other volunteers, baked lots of goodies to raise funds for those affected by the Christchurch earthquake.

MOST FASHIONABLE

...goes to Fashion Friday, where I shared some of the latest fashion trends I'm diggin'.

MILLENNIUM AWARD

...goes out to my Uncle who turned 50!  Made him a vanilla bean cake to celebrate via skype.  Love technology!  

MOST COMMITTED

...goes to the first wedding cake I made!  This is the first of many more wedding cakes to come, I'm sure.  :-)

and last but not least we have...

MOST CARING

...goes to the SPCA Cupcake Day!  

Well, there you have it!  August in a glimpse!  I can't believe it's now September!  Yay, my favourite month ('cause it's my birthday month, hehe, and it's SPRING).  See you all again soon for more cool cakin' and creatin'!

xo

Happy Monday guys!

Wow, can you believe it's August already?  I can't believe how quickly time passes when you're having so much fun!  I must say, I am sooo ready for spring!  It's getting a tad to chilly for me...although, I do love snuggling up in bed indulging in a hot coco, or two, (that's both the beverage and my hubby, hehe) and a couple of dark choc tim tams by Arnotts.  That's what I had last night before bed anyway.  Sooo bad but oh-so good!

Looking outside my window I see big clouds and far too much grey for my washing's liking.  Did I mention how ready I was for spring?

I think what we need for this gloomy Monday is for something cheerful and sprinkly!  (I may have just invented that word guys...:-P).  Last week I had some cake scraps and did not want to put them to waste.  So what did I make?  CAKE POPS!  There are so many names for these babies, it can get a bit confusing - from truffles, cake balls, cakelets and sweet bites, to cake drops, cake babies and cake nuggets...the list goes on and on.  It doesn't matter what you call them, they all sound scrum-dili-yum-cious!  (Another invented word - I'm on a roll!).

Here are some fun shots I took!  Couldn't decide between the two different backdrops, so will show you both.  Enjoy! - and try not to lick your screen!!  xo

Sprinkly fun!

These would be perfect party treats!

Hmmm...let's call these 'PARTY POPS'!

Oh, and before I go, did any of you attend 'The Food Show' this year?  Regrettably, I wasn't able to due to circumstances beyond my control (both twin boys were sick to name one reason).  But, I would LOVE to hear about your experiences, so please comment below, or if you blogged about it, send me the link!  The closest I was to The Food Show this year was when I used the wine glass from last year for my 'Party Pops' photo-shoot, hehe.  I 'heart' The Food Show!  xo
