Crabapple Bakery - Big Shoes to Fill...

I am sure you have all heard the Crabapple Bakery went into voluntary liquidation earlier this month and so now there is a huge gap in the market where they left off... I cannot say that I am the one to fill that gap but I certainly will give it a shot... I have started to receive some commerical orders already and I am lucky enough to have access to a commerial kitchen in which to fill those orders... These are some cupcakes I made over the weekend including the handmade flowers...

My classes are getting lots of attention too with the school holidays commencing soon so I might be too busy to post over the next few weeks... Vida x

Las Chicas...

My cupcakes are now available at Las Chicas in Carlisle Street, Balaclava... a short distance from home and my favourite St Kilda haunt...



I hope your guys get a chance to see them there, my cupcakes are on trial to see how things go but I am hoping I will be supported and that they sell well enough to survive... Vida x

The Business Card Company...

Yippie, hooray, the Business Card Company have printed my business cards and I am so pleased... I did my homework for months and shopped around to get the best price and these guys were it...

The used one of my photos but they are very apt at doing whatever you need them to do!! Their prices were almost the same as if I had gone to Officeworks and done them myself... who wants to go through the trouble!!! I had checked out quite a number of the printers out there including the big chains and honestly these guys did it for less then half and almost a quarter to what all the others were charging... A lot of the work was done over the phone and through email and I believe you can pay to have it delivered even so if you are interstate it could work too... so guys I have done the leg work for you and all you have to do is call these guys and get your cards done... easy as 1 - 2 - 3....

A rose by any other name...

This is my "rose" pasta... I got this idea from a fellow blogger who sadly now has invited guest only to her blog... a loss for everyone...


I filled these with goats cheese, roasted pumpkin and amaretto biscuits...


There is no recipe as I just made the pasta and add the filling along the length of the pasta... with the rough edges coming together to look thinner and petal like when rolled around... I made these ages ago so my memory is quite vague but I think I used either water or egg wash to "glue" the ends together... I then popped them into the freezer whilst I got the water ready... Angelika was firm on this advice as they held together with the freezing and you could then cook them at your leisure or leave them in the freezer...


Alana plans to do them for a school project and I have suggested using beetroot to colour the pasta and laying them on a bed of leaves so they look a lot more like roses as such...


I will post those photos once she is ready...
