Snow Day, Work and Cakes!!

Hey Jelly Beans.

So today has been all go for me. Firstly, we had SNOW!!!! Ok I admit it wasn't a lot or didn't lay or anything but we had snow. Now I would say it was the first snow shower of the year but I would be lying. In February of this year, here in Devon we had a week of snow which was pretty amazing. It was about 2ft deep and 3 to 4 in places where it had drifted. Anyway back to today, we had a couple very heavy snow showers followed by extremely heavy hail showers. The stones had to be the size of ping pong balls (table tennis) so yeah they hurt when they hit you! Still apparently the UK is going to be hit by a mini Ice Age? Well I'm personally hoping this is true. I love nothing more than lots of snow then coming home to a roaring fire and hot chocolate. Besides if it is a mini Ice Age I want to meet Sid and Manny :).

Now I don't know if any of you beans have heard that I have my own cake company. I love to bake and create new themed cakes, also experimenting with different flavours. I have recently concocted a coffee sponge cake with caramel buttercream and fudge pieces. Yes it is as good as it sounds. Anyway off subject I was asked to donate a lemon cake with lemon buttercream today to a company that are having a raffle. Half the takings are going to Children In Need, and the other half is going to help the people affected by the typhoon that hit the Philippines. So of course I said yes and have spent most of the afternoon baking and decorating this cake for tomorrow.

I guess I had better take Harvey out now for his evening walk before the snow (hopefully) sets in again. Thanks again for reading guys. It really means a lot to me.

Loves Ya'll

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy New Year To One & All!!! Hoping everyone had a fabulous new years celebrations. I know I most definitely did and now somewhat regretting all the fun I had.

As you are aware I try and upload a few different videos each week and don't have a main focus or theme. Well that is all about to change. Having done a lot of thinking and been asked by friends, family and subscribers to look into doing covers of different styles of songs, which I have to say, I firstly looked at them and laughed, then after come serious thought and consideration I have decided to give it a shot.
