Hi! Welcome to the online home of the future "The Little Blue Teapot" I'm currently studying to be a teacher (teaching English as a foreign language) but deep down I've always wanted to bake. But not only that I wanted to be a cake decorator, so rather than drop everything at the drop of a hat (especially considering Uni fee rates!!) I decided to learn it on the side, in the hope that that one day , when I'm older I'll be able to do something with it. So here you are, tracking my progress from the person who is obsessed with all things Buddy Valastro (Cake Boss) with a side order of Duff (Ace of Cakes) to someone who could be classed as an accomplished decorator. I know for a fact it will be full of disasters....

Babies, bunnies and a much needed reunion

Year 11 Prom, age 15/16



One of our many strange sleepovers, aged 16


Pink border and red fondant 'Tiffany'
Small presents made from extra cake bits
Dungies, marbles feet and a little 1
To say our trio are chocoholics is a a little bit of an understatement, so naturally I went with a choc sponge and buttercream icing. I was asked for a bunny cake, so I thought of doing a nice pink bunny with pink embellishments. I know what your thinking ..."That really does not look pink at all!" Well you would be right, but I added too much pink dye and it was SHOCKING, looked like Katie Price had got her talons in my icing. But for once I was okay, dumped in all in the bin and decided on a cute white bunny, with  yellow dungies and pink feet. I didn't quite mix the dye in so it had this really nice marbled affect.

The kids party was a great success and as you can see the cake arrived in one piece, people asked for the recipe (a good sign) and us three got our much needed reunion. So, not as many disasters as usual, just the one which was easily rectified....maybe this is a sign that I could actually pursue this? I guess we'll find out. Until the next disaster.....Meg x

My best friends, prom, aged 16
