The big 3-0 is fast approaching.... oh and some Tea Cake Cup Cakes

Well l have 6 days more days of being in my 20's eeek.... It feels like it has taken ages for me to turn 30 I think my husband is more depressed about me turning 30 then l am, as he can no longer say that his wife is in her 20's.

Mum has been pestering me for ages about what l would like for my birthday, I'm hopeless with giving suggestions so Mum and l decided to spend the day shopping at Chadstone to see if we could find anything.

We found the birthday present, but l will let you know what that is when it's actually my birthday! But l can tell you about the great shop that l found called Wheel&Barrow . It has all types of kitchen products from KitchenAids, Megamixs, baking products, crockery the list goes on and on. I made a small purchase of some large white Coffee Mugs, some black and white stripe Cup Cake Cases and lastly a meat thermometer for the beautiful roast pork l had just bought.

On another note my husband was meant to play in his first golf competition today, so whilst anxiously awaiting his return the boys and l thought we would make his favorite teacake in cupcake form of course.
