silver birch bark



i haven't been updating my blog regularly enough i don't think, maybe it will have to just be a weekly blog? it feels odd to me sometimes to be writing about myself & detailing everything i do, kind of self involved or egotistical or boring or something...
these flowers were for nana's birthday yesterday & the card stand warren cut for me from silver birch branches we found when were in st arnaud. i actually made a birthday cake for mum last weekend for st arnaud, i was quite proud of it but somehow didn't get around to taking a photo. it was called celebration cake & i did sugared pansies to decorate it with, they looked very pretty but were quite fiddly to make as you have to paint them with watered down egg white, then sprinkle them with caster sugar. louis was fascinated with them as it was such a novelty to eat flowers that tasted like lollies.

yum, sugared pansies!
i love the card stands- silverbirch is so pretty yet earthy, and really in keeping with your style too.
