Was up very early this morning to make the first part of the round battenburg cake. Mark was going to take Anais and Roman to the cinema for the 9AM showing (fishy film so i was going to stay at home) so we could go out afterwards and have the rest of the day out. The 9AM showings must be too unpopular though as when he got there it was closed until 11AM so they had to come home again, doh! At least it meant we could get out earlier though.
Anyway, here is the round battenburg cake being assembled (left) and compacted (right) ready to be marzipaned tomorrow!

On the way home we popped in to see Fred and ask for a fitting date. Here is a better photo, isn't he beautiful! We got a fitting date too - Thursday 26th September - 12 days to go!
Tonight Anais and Roman are having a sleepover at grandma and grandad's house with Jordan, Dylan and Lexi.
I came home and had a go at making some sugar paste roses. They aren't brilliant, I haven't done any in months and I was never any good at them to begin with but at least I tried! Mark had a go at doing them too. I also did some little daisy flowers and then dusted them in edible pink glitter.

Finally, Home Bargains have these candles in again for £2.99. I got a couple of these last year in Apple Cinnamon and Vanilla. They are as good as Yankee Candle's but a load cheaper. This one is pure Christmas in a jar!
