friends and cakes

I had a lovely day with my new friend yesterday. It's just so great to hang out with someone who gets my life; someone I can just talk to without having to explain things. Not only did she live in Singapore, England and Norway, but she also grew up in the suburb next to where we were living in Sydney. It's quite uncanny. It feels like such a long time since I've been able to just hang out with someone.

But today it was back to business...Kit had a scout meeting tonight which was a cake bake thing. He was supposed to help make the cake, but I'd forgotten about it and we really had no time. So I made the cake today...inspired by the dragons Kit and I were drawing a few weeks ago.
I spent HOURS on this thing and ate so much sugary stuff that I still feel ill.

The cakes were amazing-I should have taken my camera. There were probably 60 or so cakes. Kit won first prize in his category (I should really say I did). And then the all the cubscouts stuffed themselves silly on cake. My boys in particular had plates overflowing with cake. And because we were almost the last to leave after helping pack up we came home with 4 half eaten cakes, although some of them look a little dodgy and my go in the bin.
