Beeeeautiful!

So it was my (Figgy's) baby cousins 1st birthday this week so I was assigned the task of creating a cool dude cake! Seeing as my cousin is only one, he still has no proper interests apart from shoving things in his mouth and screaming, so coming up with a cake idea was kinda hard! But then, the light bulb illuminated and the bee cake was born!!!!

Aww isn't he cute?! 

Mmmm lemon drizzle. This was the secret inside that would only be revealed once it was cut!

Bee was getting dressed in his stripes.

Black and yellow, black and yellow, ooo yellow and black! (That's a bee movie reference if you didn't get it :D)

That's Wig Wam my sisterrr glossing up the bee!

He is toooooo cute!!

Such a happy bee! I'm flying without wiiiings

These were going to be the wings, but they crumbled while I was holding them, 10 mins before we had to leave...

The caramely stuff burnt and I didn't really like the brown wings, so we went with these...

yaaaaay! 

Surpriseeeee!! Everyone loved the cake and said it was amazing and beeautiful! 

Nothing was left by the end apart from the antennae, mainly because they weren't edible! 

Job done. One happy baby. One happy bee. 

No more naked nails....

 So Figgy and myself both study 3D design at University and so spend our days doing things that take joy in removing our lovely nails straight after we have painted them! (I find this more of a problem as I am so clumsy!) 

But honestly there are chemicals that just take off a beautifully mani 

within seconds. However...... SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER......... So bearing this in mind........

We funked up our nails big time!

Va Va Voom!

Got pretty patriotic *cough* drunk *cough* for the Queen....

Its like waving lots of mini flags..

Time for Pimms?

A bit fuzzy on the edges but I couldn't resist trying MIKE WAZOWSKI!!

Jazzzzzyyy....

Something about these makes me want to eat them...no?

Do you ever find designs remind you of what you were doing/watching while you were doing them? In this case Greys Anatomy!

We designed and entered a nail competition at the lovely Concrete and nail polish blog!

One of about a hundred origami cranes we have hanging in our lounge windows...

And Thank you to our lovely followers! We've hit double figures! Yay!

A Picture a Day

The Lane and I decided that we needed to do some more drawings, 

so we set ourselves the challenge of doing a drawing a day.

Things didn't turn out so well....  a drawing a day turned into a drawing a week, which turned into a drawing a month... and now it's just no drawing!

The rules: continuous line drawing without looking at the paper and drawing the same thing. 

And these are just some of the ones we managed to do! 

(Figgy's are on the left and The Lane's are the right)

Our pet Goldfish...

Our housemate Bean...

Some glasses...

Paper birds...

Our other housie Dan...

Each other strike two...

Our other housie Lizzie...

And her pet Koala Ollie...

Paper Cranes...

Saskia sleeping...

Its a fun game, people are definitely the best to draw! Give it a go!

It's Official....

When someone who doesn't even like cake asks you to make them a birthday cake.... 

well you know then you've made it big time. 

This week it was our lovely housemates birthday...

Voilá!

She studies English literature so we felt it was only right to make cake books!

We even made up her own fairy tale!

What cake would be complete without a pig reading a book on it?!

For her birthday we had a BBQ on the beach and so we took the cake with us!

It was even pink inside!
