I haven't been sitting around doing nothing all that time though, I've been making costumes for the school concert next week and - I have been trying out some new recipes for the upcoming market season like the toffee apples.
And mini lemon meringue tartsMarion celebrated her birthday a couple of days before she left on an overseas trip - she of course, made her own birthday cake - as you do!
I know you want to see a better photo of her cake................... It was huge - about 8 layers with a tempered chocolate flower on top.
Marion is currently in Venice - poor her!
My eldest cherub turned 12 a few weeks ago and instead of a traditional birthday cake, he asked for a macaron tower! At the time I couldn't think of anything to fill in the gaps with - if he had been a girl, I would have used flowers but since have thought that I could have used strawberries or marshmallows.
His friends didn't seem to notice the gaps and were quite impressed.

And so they should be - it looks great - what a feat of engineering! Nice to have you back on the blog-o-shere!
Very impressive indeed! Time flies when you are having fun, and not spending it all on the computer!
Do I detect a bit of masterchef inspiration? All of these examples of cooking are wonderful. Congratulations

Glad to see you're ok and keeping busy doing very yummy things too! I think lemon meringue would have to be one of my fav yummies. x
