Fridge Cake

This is my take on the fridge cake from the BBC food website.

Here are my ingredients before:


I blitzed the digestives in my mini chopper, chopped the glacé cherries & maltesers in half.

Melt the chocolate & butter 1st


Add the golden syrup after you've melted the chocolate
Chuck them all in together and mix well.


I had an assistant to help me mix


It all comes together beautifully:


Put in a baking tray like this


Add toppings if required, I choose milky bar buttons but have used caramel buttons before too and they were delicious.


Set in fridge for a couple of hours & then chop up into pieces like this:


It tasted amazing :D

Hello oh so neglected blog!

Its been so long since I wrote a blog post and shared my makes. I am still here, I am still creating things, I just haven't had much time with 2 young children and moving house and everything.

I am hoping that now things are pretty much sorted that I have much more time to make things.

I'll try and do a catch up post with the few cards and bits that I have made since going a bit AWOL if anyone is still out there?!

A few wedding makes

I have very much neglected my blog recently, life has very much got in the way of crafting so I have been putting my family first. 

I never posted these makes though so here we go:

Here is the table plan that I made for our wedding: 

I got these gorgeous little ovals from Hobbycraft. I still have them tucked away too as I pulled them off when we disposed of the table plan after the wedding. 

The mark on the ribbon happened afterwards as I forgot to take pictures before (oops! I did only finish it the day before the wedding though, lol). 

I also made all the place cards for everyone. 

They looked fab on the tables and matched the wedding invites. 

I also named the tables after places in Harry Potter so each table had individual signs although I forgot to take pictures of all of these - epic fail! This was one of them though which was on the head table. Thankfully our wedding photographer got this picture and the one above of the place cards.

Life update

As my blog has been rather quiet of late I thought I would write a life update.
Things have been manic with a newborn baby, a toddler to look after and a wedding to plan but we are getting there now.
I have made a few cards recently which i will have to do an upload later when I get a minute to.

Here is a recent picture of my gorgeous children

My very cheeky Jessica now 6 months old:

 Christopher now 3 years and 9 months

Another flowerpot card

This one was for my mum

Wedding Stationary

Well my wedding invites are now complete! I have spent so many hours making these so here they are:

Daytime invites:

I made quite a few of these: 

Then the evening invites:

The RSVP is almost the same except I took the any dietary requirements off as we are having a hog roast for the evening reception. 

Here is them both together: 

E45 nourish and restore review

I don't think I have mentioned it on here before but I am a BzzAgent (www.bzzagent.co.uk).
I try out products for companies, give my feedback and spread the word about new products.
One of my current campaigns is for E45 Nourish and Restore.
I have been using it recently on my hands as since having my daughter and having to wash up bottles and sometimes hand wash clothes if my little girl has been sick on them or whatever. I have found that my hands have become dry and in need of daily moisturising especially after having my hands in water. I have put my bottle of this next to the kitchen sink so that I can apply it straight after washing up. Its definitely improving the softness of my skin and I no longer have dry patches on my hands so I would highly recommend it to anyone with dry skin.
