Turkish and Italian Delights...

In addition to the paper treats, I also made my mum some sweet treats for her birthday. The tiramisu's were made using this recipe (except I used yogurt instead of cream and Ameretto in place of Marsala), and they were enjoyed after the meal I made for the family. I then decided to tackle Turkish Delight.. not a delight to make! Everything went fine until it came to removing it from the container.. a bag full of icing sugar later, and I managed to salvage it. It's slightly on the thin side, but mildy presentable! I used this recipe. (The flowers are there to make the end product seem more delightful..working?) 




Spring things...

It was my mother's birthday yesterday so I decided to make her a stationary set, what mothers like...It's themed around spring and her favourite flowers! The card was of the same theme, with the addition of a pair of legs in walking boots, as she does love walking in the great outdoors! She pointed out that the boots look exactly like hers, but sadly not the legs...




Infinity (and beyond...)

A drawing I did as a 'good luck' card for Jonny's upcoming exams.. Based on a conversation we had where I (the non-physics student) always assumed that anything divided by nothing is 1... Oh how wrong I was!
