cake stall

Hello! Big election weekend in Australia - if you missed it, we just exercised our democratic right to elect the federal government. 'Cept (hang it, you all know I'm a feminist leftie) people actually voted for a Coalition government (I would never have believed it) headed by a backward thinking right wing jack rabbit. I might have to move to New Zealand. We're looking at a hung parliament at present. Come ON postal voters, do your thing! Come ON Julia - negotiate!

It's all very depressing.

What's not depressing is CUPCAKES!

For the P&C stall at the polling booths at school on Saturday.

I took: all organic apple cakes;

 

and really very delicious lemon and passionfruit cakes!

While I was making the cakes, I put the lovely Ivy down just outside the kitchen on her rug:

And being a self-sufficient third child, she took advantage of the peace and quiet and made it nap time.

Also while I was baking, Tilly decided to make herself a dress.

Needs more sticky tape, Mum.

 

And after witnessing Henry's crestfallen face as I boxed up every last one of the lemon and passionfruit cupcakes, I made some more.

I'm delighted with this recipe, was even happier with the second batch, but am in between a late night bath for smallest Walmsley and doing some very late night bookkeeping for a friend's business so will come back and post the recipe for these tomorrow!

Hope you had a tasty/relaxing/creative weekend!

I love Ivy's little dress.Did you make it? That fabric is gorgeous. And I love Tilly's dress.So clever!

"Jack Rabbit" - what a perfect description! I hope they sort it all out soon.

Cakes look divine.

How do you do it? You are truly an inspiration!

Hi Fi, Ivy looks so delicious as well. Just want to scoop her up for a snuggle. So impressed with the cakes - as always! Talk soon, A

Hello!

We have a similar coalition in the UK right now. As a left thinking feminist ;) I did not vote for either party...

Anyhoo... the cakes look yummy, your blog looks yummy and I wanted to say hi!

I teach yoga and veganise recipes and read too many books and lived in Aus for a couple of years when I was younger (and am coming back for a holiday next year). Pop in and say hi if you fancy!

Hi Angie, I didn't make the dress but it was handmade by someone else, and I've peered at it closely and I think it's do-able. Have copied a pattern and we'll see how it works out!

Lemon! Passionfruit! Babies! Sun!

Who needs politics? Especially of the weak & divided stripe? Well, we do, but, you know.

Oh jeeze! I love your daughter's dress....how creative. My fourth was easy going like that...still is. When he was a babe I would just lie him down and he'd zonk right off.
