Italy

Over the Easter Holidays I went to visit my friend in Siena, a town full of high walls and narrow streets. We spent a week in Sardinia and here are a few snaps from our trip...

This is looking out to sea from Alghero, a town in the north of Sardinia

There were loads of cool trees along the beaches, unfortunately I had chocolate smeared over the lens of my camera for a while hence the blotchy contrast

Hiding trees in Tuscany

Brigid and I started an event called Baking Sunday which we host at our house every weekend often with the help of Verity, a fellow of similar distinguished taste.

These were our sickly sweet valentine cupcakes

Crayon Critters

Here is my delightful army of crayon teddy bears which come in a veritable smorgasbord of

colours.

I decided to make 8 of my own animal shapes complete with their associated colours.

After drawing each animal I laser cut them and glued them in stacks

I then used these stacks as moulds with silicone

Then they were ready to be filled with crayon bits

After a short visit to the oven, out came these!

and here is my proposal for YCN where they are running a competition for new products
