Cuddly rabbit

Cuddly rabbit, originally uploaded by Mystical Mischief.

I love this rabbit, it's soooooo floppy looking and relaxed always makes me think Awwwwwwww, lol I know I must be a soft touch! made him a few times now also in blue!

After a sudden realisation that I've not updated my blog since more or less opening it I thought I'd pop a few pictures on it to keep you a little up to date with what I've been doing.

I'm still undecided whether to start using this site as my main blog or keep the other one on my website going, ummmm decision, decisions......... I Sometimes think it'd be nice to just have a place to be a bit more myself as obviously I have to watch what I say on my own website as customers can browse it, but then I really don't know if I have time to keep 2 up to date.

Well anyway, after a great weekend and demoing at a fab sugar group in Cardiff I think I've finally over come the sudden nerves I suffered at the training seminar, what a hoot we had and Ceri was there to give me a hand, what an angel he was. I'd got caught in traffic and was about 15mins late in arriving with people already taking there chairs as I arrived to set up. But after an initial flurry of activity I was given a cup of tea to calm myself ready for a giggle, OK so the dragon's head didn't fit, mmmmm took me a while to work out why (like the next day!) and I'd forgotten a couple of tools, nothing too major though, but it was all taken in it's stride and i don't think anyone noticed (NOT!!!).

I'm getting ready now for Exmouth BSG Exhibition on Sunday, I've a table there supporting the event and I'm going to do a bit of modelling, chatting, maybe a bit more modelling and then more chatting, and if I've time to have a bit of a shop before more modelling and chatting I'll be as happy as pig in muck! Can't wait and if you see me there then say "hi"

So is anyone ready for the holidays? The kids break up on Thursday from school and then we've got a whole 6 weeks to fill, I've some staggered holidays planned so as to make the whole lot go really quickly, I think it only works out that the first week and last week we're at home for the full week so I'm really looking forward to it!

Well I think that's all for now, I'll try to keep this blog posted, it's soooooo much easier to use than the other but we'll have to see what happens.

cats and butterfies, originally uploaded by Mystical Mischief.

Think I got a little carried away with this one , really enjoyed doing the cats and wanted to cover the whole board and cake in butterflies and flowers. I broke loads of the butterflies and then looked at the cake and there was far to much happening for my liking so went round and flicked aload of flowers off, still think it looks a little cluttered but happier now

gogo's

gogo's, originally uploaded by Mystical Mischief.

For my son who's going to be 8 on tuesday but is celebrating over the weekend with his cousins and family. Chances are you may not even know what 'Gogo's' are, but my son is mad about collecting them at the moment. They're 99p a packet and you get 3 little plastic figures and 3 stickers to put in your sticker book. We're on series 3 at the moment and the theme is explorers.

This cake was taken from the last theme of the sticker book, the city. I thought it was great colours and would translate well into a cake.

The cake is an 8" cake with and oval cut out of it and placed on the top. The 'stickers' are flowerpaste and rice paper, and the buildings are modelling paste that have been airbrushed. I modelled the big gogo, but the small ones are the actual plastic ones you buy

What a great weekend we had at the British Sugarcraft Guild's, Demonstarting Training seminar. Lots of laughs to be had and lessons to be learnt, and I think Vallerie and Veronica who run the programme are star's.

I must admit I was a little nervous when it came to my turn but I was the last up and had been waiting and watching the others all morning, but I think I managed to pull it off!! lol

I'll now have to have 2 assesments on my demonstration techniques and then hopefully I'll be a fully accredited demonstrator, wish me luck and if you're in a BSG Branch which falls with 100 miles or 2hrs from TA9 3QF, then give me a call.!

Also had a lovely picture sent to me from Ita White, she was one of the lucky ladies to win a 'Floppy Rabbit and Teddy bear' Tutorial last year, and decided to give it a go, I think she's done a fantastic job they look so cute and her little girl model is also adorable! Lovely to see it Ita

It's the Squire Kitchen annual exhibition this coming weekend, I'll popping down for the day on the Saturday don't be scared to say "hi!" if you see me

Woo hoo, now all my cakes for this week are finished and more or less ready for collection, I'm getting ready for the weekend!

Hope you like the new cake pictures, have a great weekend what ever you're doing!
