Rainbow Cake

Speaking to a member of a younger generation has made me realise how 'uncool' I am, due to the fact I had no idea these gif like creations existed. For the first time, being 21 never felt so old!  There are loads of these gif recipes starting to emerge around the internet and I found this 2 x 3 rainbow cake creation, which reminds me of the time my boyfriend, Simon, tried to create this sort of cake (minus the unicorn). So this post is dedicated to him and hope it inspires him to try again. 

Laduree: Ladies Who Lunch

Piano, my childhood friend, and I have lunched at Laduree twice now. Once at Harrods, the second at Covent Garden. Rare treat for me as I am always trying to save money. We had a tea set and a couple of sandwiches which were nice, but the food that REALLY stole the show were the raspberry and rose ispahan macaroon and the rose milkshake. None of these pictures above are mine but I think they give a glimpse of how much I love rose - the flavour. Sounds silly and so uncommon but I swear you say: I love rose, the way you say I love chocolate. Pricey but worth it for the experience, especially when you get the rooftop seat on a sunny, spring day.

Bakerella's Rose Cupcakes

Aren't these some of the most beautiful cupcakes you have ever seen? Classic roses never get boring and I just love the way the white frosting serves as a soft flower bed. The ribbon and hearts add such a special touch - I now know what to wish for next Valentine's Day. These cupcakes and a box of chocolates! Check out Bakerella's flickr profile at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bakerella/ for more delightful desserts. 

Post Exam Dinner Party

After final year exams, one of Simon and my closest friends, Charles du Couëdic, hosted a dinner party. He made an amazing lamb stew which took him 7 hours to perfect! We had mint chocolate and vanilla peach cupcakes for dessert, of course :) Perfect way to celebrate the end of exams....ahhh! Brief celebration only to be cut short by...job applications...nooo! And so, the life of a student continues.
