Pancake Day!!

Its pancake day! Everyone smile! :D
Quite obviously one of the best days of the year. The perfect excuse to just eat pancakes all day long. I hope you've all had at least one pancake, or planning on it. My lunch today consisted of:
     2 good old lemon and sugar pancakes
     1 fancy little ice cream raspberry sandwich
     1 huge pancake filled with more ice cream and even more raspberries.

Yum

Looks amazing, even if I say so myself. So little and cute :)

And so hard to eat. Good thing I see nothing wrong with finger licking..

Until next time,

Sugar, Air and Fairy Dust: Part I

So, I decided to make marshmallows this weekend. Woo :)
     I found a recipe I liked and tried it out so that when I make a proper batch for Easter i'll have it perfect (Hopefully). It ingredients are in the title, sugar, air and fairy dust. Everyone knows that's how you make them, obviously. 
     I was a bit late starting them than I hoped as I went driving, so I was a bit rushed and crowded as my mum was making Sunday roast at the same time. And wow sugar takes a long time to get to the right temperature, I was telling my thermometer off because it kept telling me the temperature was decreasing even though it was boiling rapidly. Yeesh. But it came together finally and let me tell you, unset marshmallow looks (and tastes) amazing! Wish I took a photo of me pouring it. but ah well, here's the photos that I did take.

     

Success!
Kinda.
They're definitely squishy and tasting of marshmallow :)
However, Tips for myself next time.
Maybe add some vanilla and colouring, Pour into a smaller tin so that they get thicker, maybe mix for longer, don't leave uncovered over night to set (a crust developed) and finally, line the tin better so it doesn't stick as much.
Well, hope you enjoyed this post, ill be back soon.

Why hello, fancy seeing you here ;)

So this is my first ever blog and I don't really know what to write. How impressive of me. So yeah, I like decorating cakes and baking. I have quite a sweet tooth, so i'd click the little 'x' in the top right corner if you detest of such sugary sweetness :D
    I've not baked anything recently but i'm definitely going to soon! I'm in between trying out marshmallows, toffee apples and just a general cake. Hmm... I wonder which it'll be...


So I'd stay posted so that you find out ;)
