Happy Thursday guys! Almost the weekend…yes! What are your plans? Who’s going to be at LFW? And who (like me) is going to be utterly lazy?
Feeling a bit fragile today, having been sent home from work yesterday with horrible nausea and general feeling crap,
I do feel better today but not 100% so I’m indulging in a day of doing my favourite things.
Wearing: another old favourite
Loving: My new Nica bag, which was my treat to myself for passing Media law. I ordered from MyBag.com on Tuesday evening, and first thing this morning it was here!
I am not one of those people who can cope with little bags! This has so much space around for all my junk/really important stuff.
Baking: Chocolate sponge with malteasers inside and a chocolate icing drizzle. Just a basic sponge mix with cocoa and a couple of small bags of malteasers added in. It might look dense but it’s as light as a feather. Sadly I don’t get to taste it (yet) as it is for the doctors at work who have an inspection type deal this week + stress levels are high. They are chocaholics so I’m taking this in tomorrow to celebrate the end of the week.

Malteasers work really well in cake for adding texture. The cupcakes I made a couple of weeks ago were such a hit most of the staff now have the recipe and have been making their own!
Have you baked lately?

Love the bag! Big bags are a must. I have one friend who doesn’t even have a bag. She carries her purse, mobile and keys around…. Pfft stuff that! AND that cake looks so delicious.
Oooh beautiful, I really wanted the Nica Alicia, but the price was too high for the size!

Do the Malteasers melt in the oven? I’m not a fan of the honeycomb but if it’s melted it’s a different story! You’re a sweetie baking for the office in times of stress 🙂
OMG. I have no plans this weekend and the house allll to myself – therefore, I MAY have to make this cake…. 😀 x
You look gorgeous today in that frock, sorry to hear you were yucky yesterday, hope you feel a bit brighter today. The cake looks delightful, I bet they love you working there 🙂

I am going to have to make that cake! 🙂
It looks delicious, I haven’t had a chance to bake yet with work but I’m off next week so must remedy that! xoxo
That dress is really cute! works well with the bright tights.
I baked some Macarons last week, sadly they were not very good. Tasted ok but didn’t look as pretty as usual.
The cake looks delicious and great bag!
Awww, I hope you get to feel completely better soon; make sure you get some good rest! Ó 3 Ò
…but that didn’t stop you from looking all that pretty, hmm! You’ve got a really nice style, so classic and feminine… I want a dress like that now…! ; u ;
