Firstly it's my sister Lucy's birthday is on boxing day. Usually we spend the day traipsing round the sales then have a big party in the evening but this year she went on holiday to Cuba on her birthday so we had a birthday meal on the 23rd to celebrate. Now as you've already seen I love to bake. I bake for everyones birthday so it was expected that I would make her some cupcakes but I wanted to do more than that, I wanted to make her a HUGE cake!
The cake was a LOT of hardwork! It was the first tiered cake I have made and I have vowed never to use black fondant ever again! Its so hard to keep it looking black. I was pretty happy with the end result though.
The most exciting day was yet to come, on Christmas eve Lucy's boyfriend proposed! Wowzers! We are all set for a 2011 wedding and are waiting for them to set a date. Her fiance (I hate that word!) designed her engagement ring and it's perfect for Lucy:
Stupidly this is the only photo I took on my camera so you'll just have to make do with a photo of the ring and not one of the ecstatic bride to be!
Christmas day was a filled with family and food, just the way it should be. I got lots of lovely gifts including the ring I blogged about and a surprise necklace from my boyfriend, I will no doubt share photos in a future blog. I was very spoilt and had such a nice day. I hope you all had a great day too and that santa was good to you.
