pretty pretty please

My apologies for having gone too long. times are not as busy as i seem to portray, but i haven't really had an hour or two to seriously unwind and blog, and suddenly it's also become tiring to because i haven't baked any substantive thing since coming. i have made all these cakes though, and they are relatively simple and simple looking as you see - i won't be dispensing recipes on these because they are variations of butter and sponge cakes with fruits and spice for added twist.


it is now the end of the term, and the end of classes for my bachelor's degree. imagine, after this i will have a title to my name! this is surreal. i'm not willing to grow up too fast! it's almost april and i think i'm still living in 2010. time is passing by quickly, much to my dismay because i'm not prepared for the exams coming in mid may!

i've taken a break and gone to germany for the weekend to catch up with some old friends. but i'm glad to be home and, starting to work again. like, the hardcore has to begin someday now, right?! whatever it is, i'm sure i won't be putting much here because
a. i don't have time to experiment
b. i don't have time to do the washing up after baking
c. i don't have time to go shopping for my baking stuff
d. i'm not willing to spend the money on the baking stuff. like, i can get a dress instead, no? heehee.

many things have happened since we last met, let me summarise:

• the moot has come and gone, i am proud of myself for doing well
• i have been accepted into bar school in london and will be commencing it in september.
• i have gotten a job interview!
• my (new charles & keith) wallet has been stolen X(
• i've not bought any new dresses or high heels!
• spring is here!

and it is gorgeous! sun's out everyday, no more thick and bulky coats, shorts, maxi dresses, spring dresses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have also been reflecting a lot and finding so much more about myself. like, how my character has changed - and whether i like it - how i've come to see friendships and relationships, and finally i've put even more thought into my future. it all seems very surfaced now; i'm sorry i'm distracted by so much.

i cannot wait to get home to START BAKING HARDCORE again. that used to always take my mind off things. baking skills, please do not leave me :(

made this cake for my classmate cass; she turned 23 last february. she's been a great friend and i thought i'd show her how much i appreciate her. aren't the biscuits a cool touch? actually it's only because the sides were uneven. old trick, hahah, but i used to use rocky sticks or love letters :)

anyway - do not expect me back so soon, but stay tuned to any more :)

loves.
