Deana's Flowers

OMG I've kidnapped a baby (just kidding) technically I borrowed a baby. JJ has been staying with us for the past 2 weeks and he's a cute little 6 month old and you won't believe how challenging it is to cook dinner let alone do baking or make fondant flowers...

I'm grateful that Deana's party was delayed but as per usual... I left the bouquet for the last minute.

I didn't manage to take step by step pics but here are the finished results.

Took these pics before Nate and I left for the Weymouth Cossie Club where Deana's birthday was and the two black squares are just plastic containers held together with sellotape...

Nate had to come along to hold the flowers as I knew they wouldn't survive a car ride un-attended. En route to the birthday Nate gave me a mild heart attack. I forgot to tell him that the plastic containers were only held together with sellotape and the top container went for a slide and collided with the dash board. Luckily for us the flowers had hardened and there were only a couple of minor breaks. The time now is 11.15pm and thanks to my Zyban tablets I'm wired and possibly because of my mild heart ache earlier so I need to start checking my cupboards to see if I have the ingredients I need to make a pineapple pie for Deana's kai-kai tomorrow. That's me for now, but Juni's birthday is next Sunday and I need to think about how I'm going to make a tree cake with a monkey hanging from it. I might see if I can convince him to have a different type of cake that I can make that will fit in with a 6 month old baby...
Ciao for now

PINEAPPLE PIE

So I was slightly delayed with regards to starting the pineapple pie today and was instructed to have it delivered by 12 noon. Well that dead line came and went and I managed to get it delivered just before 2pm. I was quietly stressing at the situation but was instantly relieved when I arrived to find them still setting up the food and cooking a bbq. So here are the pics of the pie I made for Deana's kaikai.
