A few favourites!

I wouldn't say I'm really fashionable but I do love a good shopping spree! Heres a few of my favourites at the moment.

Recently I bought a colourful aztec patterned dress but me being me, I couldn't wear it the normal way. I added a band tee over it, tying the t-shirt to the side and rolling up the sleeves. I think it gives a completely different look to the dress and makes me stand out from everyone else.

These two tops I bought about a month ago, they were both from Zara,  the first one was in the sale, and was only 4 euros! So I was pretty pleased with that, I just put it with a pair of black jeans and some black heels. The second one was 15.99 and I had spent months looking every where for a sleeveless blouse and when I saw this, I was over the moon! It looks goes great with black skinny jeans but it is slightly see through!

 

My last outfit is probably the one I've  worn most, I bought it back in october last year in republic and I can honestly say it is one of the best things I've ever bought. It's a blue bird dress and it looks lovely with both heels and flats. I think it was 25 pound, if you don't have a dress like this, its defiantly worth getting one!

 

 

Owl cake

This is my first attempt at cake decorating, I have never made anything like this before, so this is all completely new to me. I've been wanting to do it for ages but never got round to it but I'm so glad I did!  I decided to just make a plain sponge for my first go, I covered in butter icing and then decorate from there with roll out fondante. Heres how I made it.

So these are the colours I used, yellow, white, light and dark blue, red and pink but you can use any colours you want. In the bowl is some butter icing to cover the cake and make it taste lovely!

 

First I cut 2 ears out of sponge and stuck them on with butter icing and then I also added an extra bit, just to make the cake a bit bigger.

 

I then covered the whole cake in butter icing, making sure it was all flat, so that I could put the roll out fondante on nice and easily.

 





 

I rolled out some of the red fondante, making sure I had enough to cover the cake and then cut out a hole where the owls tummy would be, once that was done, I added pink in the hole.




I cut out some small pink circles for the owls feathers and stuck them on the tummy area. I added a tiny bit of water to make sure they stuck down.





 I rolled out some of the white and carefully cut out a pair of eyes and stuck them just above the owls stomach and then added a small yellow nose and added it on just between the eyes.

 

  I then added two light blue circles and two smaller dark blue circles for the eyes.

 

 

 

 To finish off I just added two smaller white circles to the eyes and it was good to go!
