Cake tastic and an Easter Basket

Hello Lovelies! Well it has been a busy old day and one I started with a small hangover! Drama group finished early last night so we retired to the pub and I think I may have had one wine too many! Oops! Nevermind - I feel okay now!!! Probably did me good too!

At the end of the day I went into school to man the PTA cake sale - the children had been invited to enter an easter cake into a competition and all participants got a chocolate mini egg. The winners - one from the juniors and one from the infants will be announced tomorrow - the turn out was amazing - I have never seen such a spread of cakes! Here are Lucy and Penny's cakes:

This one is Lucy's.

and this is Penny's! They both did very well!

And so to coffeepot last time - we made Easter Baskets - here's mine - I filled it with cadburys hereos - and gave it to Barn Owl who was leaving brownies tonight!


I used the bird and flower stamp set from Clarity. The papers are from Tim Holtz wallflower set.

I hope you have a good Thursday Evening! I am struggling leaving comments just big hugs rachel xxnow - blogger is being a pest - I will try again but please forgive me if I don't get there -

    Like the basket, I have made a few of the design but never thought of adding a "handle" . Thank you for the idea.
    Have a great day

  10. Lucy and Penny certainly did a fantastic job on their cakes, they both look amazing! Your basket looks beautiful too.

    Last week I commented on about 20 blogs before I realised that blogger was not leaving them on the blogs...I could have cried! It is no consolation to you but just so you know you are not on your own! Hope yours gets sorted soon. Hugs, Anne xx
