Snow Day- Part 2

The snow just keeps on coming!! I am sure that I have never seen this much snow before. Larry, my amazing neighbour, has snow-blown my front path and drive - thanks Larry!! Wasn't really looking forward to getting the shovel out.

So what does one do on a day like this??? Make Fairy Cakes, (cupcakes) of course!!



There were ring side seats for those not old enough to participate.


I also got the chance to use my favourite $4 garage sale item, my mixer, love it soooooo much. (Wouldn't you love to be able to bake cakes in your underpants - oh the joy of being a child!!).


My Little Helper stirred.....................


and most importantly, tested the cake.


Then waited patiently whilst they cooked.


Then to the best part, decorating the cakes. I picked these Martha Stewart Halloween stencils up a few weeks ago from Michaels - loving you Martha. Super easy and super Halloween style.



The kettle has just boiled, I am off to make a cup of tea and test one of these delicious creations.

  1. You are SO lucky that there is so much snow... otherwise we'd be straight over in the car for 'tea'. We've got a huge pot of stew on the go... smells super scrummy. Days like this are few & far between. Enjoy!

  7. Hey Tara, the snow looks fab! There's something about the snow piling up that always makes it feel like christmas is here, the tree should be lit and we should all be cuddled on the couch, drinking hot chocolate and watching It's a Wonderful Life. Still waiting for our snow here in the 'Peg. Looks like we're going to have a "green" halloween!
