First attempt at making Cake Pops

Alexis tried making some cake pops for Mother's Day yesterday.  The recipe seemed easy, but all didn't go to plan.  I think, perhaps, the pops were too big and the sticks to thin, as they were too heavy when up right.

 However, they tasted great, especially the white chocolate ones. I shall try this week making some more, hopefully things will work out better this time.

We make scones too, a fool proof recipe for Breakfast, Lunch and Tea.  Now these were so good I could just eat another right now, alas all thirty odd scones were eaten before night fall.

11th Birthday

Gaby turned 11 on Tuesday. Poor her, she had to go to school all day (8.30 till 5) and suffer two hours of sport and two tests.

When she got home she discovered that Alexis had gone to a friends house for the "gouter" and that Charlotte preferred to hang-out with her friends and send her boyfriend here instead.

She loved her carrot cake (Breakfast Lunch and Tea recipe) and she received lots of lovely presents including some super headphones, as seen above, plus lots of clothes, manga's and books and a super light for her bedroom that I found in the Conran Shop.

We are going to have another party for her on Saturday, and hopefully everyone will be present this time.
