…because I can’t put my hands on any pictures of Created Stuff right now but hey! It’s February! Which means it’s time for the blog to resurrect out of the ashes of the holiday season. (Literal ashes here in Australia, oy.) Just going to aim for quick updates for the next little bit while I […]

Support firefighters, win books! (Plus a sneaky title/cover reveal from me 😉 ) As most of you will know, the last month+ has seen bushfires raging right around Australia in an unprecedented fire-season event. I am extremely fortunate that I have not been personally impacted, except for the cancellation of some events. My mum was

And now, at last, the birthday cake from a couple of weeks ago! I’ll be honest, the bottom half of this is a foam dummy 😀 😀 But when people only want you to make a pretty cake for 25 people i.e. one tier, and you have Artistic Vision ™, what else are you going

It’s no particular secret that it’s been a rough year, and that that’s taken a toll on my writing. I wrote 200k last year, whereas this year I’m currently sitting just under 75k, and the vast majority of that has been since the start of October. So I’ve been feeling kind of fragile, and my

Let’s get back to some #FoxBook music for a couple of weeks, since I’m in the throes of trying to wrestle this beast of a book into submission again. I swear, this book, urgh. It is either going to kill me with doubt or kill me with pride, there will be no in between >.<

Actually a new cake this week! :’D This one’s a gluten-free white chocolate mud cake, with vanilla bean Vienna buttercream. Om nommity. Although the design is super simple, the little bunch of jonquils and blossoms isn’t actually a single posy – each flower is individually wired and inserted into the cake, oy. Also, if I’d

I mentioned Amy Sheppard yesterday in my post, and in browsing back through her Insta feed, I realised she’d released a single with accompanying music vid. As the pioneer of the #kissmyfatass tag, and given her wonderful IS feed, I thought the song would be good – but it’s actually better than I’d hoped. Catchy,
