This evening I went to my first workshop at The Make Lounge, the theme of the evening was cupcake decorating. I wasn’t expecting to turn out anything magical, I’m not gonna lie, but I am chuffed to pieces with what I came home with.

Gorgeous or what?? The roses, stars and hearts are all marzipan and made by self. Mr Pharmacist was suitably proud of me.

Other things I’ve made recently: Spinach and Goat’s Cheese pizza

Chicken with steamed vegetables, tagliatelle and a blue cheese sauce.

Brie in Puff Pastry with Cranberry Sauce – which I forgot to take pictures of once done. Was feeling a bit lazy so was going to buy puff pastry, but it was sold out. Tried filo pastry instead, and that worked out well.

I’m digging how these homely things like baking, cooking and sowing are becoming more natural to me, rather than being shrouded in mystery that seemed impossible to get past. And it is a lot more satisfying to eat a delicious pizza that you cooked yourself, rather than one bought.
