Figgy Lane has gone Quackers!

So we know Figgy Lane has gone a bit cake crazy recently... 

when I say a bit.... But we just can't help it! 

Our latest creation was for an event at a lovely pub in Brighton called the Mucky Duck and the cake was raffled off to raise money which was pretty exciting!

Are you ready.....

TA-DA!!

We felt it only right to carry on the duck theme so we made some duckie cupcakes to sell too!

We managed to raise £60 from it which was awesome! Also the guy that won it cut it up and shared it between everyone so loads of people got to enjoy it :)

Thats all for now! We'll catch you up with our nails designs some time soon! 

Ttfn Figgy Lane :)

Another cake bites the dust...

So we seem to have gone slightly cake crazy at the moment... you know this is the case when a relative tells you your starting to look like a cake (probably not meant as a compliment.....)

But who cares...

LET THEM EAT CAKE...

Mmmmmm sprinkles and chocolate eggs!!

Deano the Dino. This was for a kiddies tea party *cough* 21st Birthday *cough*...

P.s Yes that is more cake in the background... My name is Figgy Lane and I am a cakeoholic...

Red velvet cake! Sooo yummy! 

As the evening went on it got purpler...

and purpler... 

 Grandpa Figgy enjoying a nice slice of cake!

Cupcake anyone?

We leave you with the latest cake made by Bean Lane...

Can you guess who it is?!

'Piece' out! Haha O so Witty! Love your Figgy Lane!

Not your typical cheese cake.....

Whaddup dawggggggs!

This week Figgy Lane have been busy getting inventive cake style and making....

A CHEESE BOARD CAKE!!!

Fancy a slice of Brie?

Edam?

Holey moley cheese?

Our lovely housemates had previously cleaned the kitchen but it soon got pretty messy once we got creative.... all in the name of art guys!

It got eaten extremely quickly after everyone decided on what the best way to cut up a cheese cake was- slice each cheese seperately or the cake as a whole? After all it is all cake including the board and knife!

Another happy customer! Happy Birthday Libby!!!!!!!!!

I hope Wallace and Gromit would approve.

From your ever so cheesy, Figgy Lane.

Once upon a time....

Hellllllooooooo!!

This week Figgy Lane entered Neverland Nail Blog's magical nails contest!!! Here is our entry modeled by Figgy's stylish hands.....Oh so sexy....

We used some lovely Barry M nail varnish as nothing says magic like a little bit of glitter....

This week we also....

Went to a pudding party (the best kind of party in my eyes!)....

Got a lovely birds eye view of Brighton on its one sunny day this week....

Lane went to the Ice Bar in London where everything is made of ice, and you get to wear cloaks pretending your in Harry Potter....

And made new friends......

Toodle-oo! Figgy and Lane xxxx

Mexico!!

Figgy's back!! I've just come back from mexicoooooo and these are just some of the cool places and things I saw and went to! Had an amazing time but I'm glad to be back, even if it raining and cold outside....

Procrastination....

So I have an essay due in a week and I really should be doing it but instead I've......

Painted my nails.....

Gone to a free art exhibition and picked up this little cutie by a man named Stu...

Played around on photoshop and liked that its hard to find the original pansy in the pack....

Found a lovely use for our pal Edward the Elephant teapot...

Chuckled at this little friendly guy...

Gave a new sock monkey life...

And eaten lots of chocolate in true Easter style!!! If all essays could be this fun I would definitely write more!

Ciao for Now! The Lane!

Fruity!

Hey!!

So Figgy has gone away on holiday for three weeks leaving the blog in my hands....... So I felt what better way to celebrate.... I mean commiserate this then to jazz up some nails! 

If I say so myself I am rather proud of these fruity nails but don't think I would be able to handle painting them on my own hands as it would just make me so peckish all the time! Just looking at this picture as I write this blog is making me want to go and make a smoothie! 

I also find it so much more enjoyable painting other peoples nails then my own....

         - Firsty because I have such short little stubby nails that refuse to grow long and luscious!

         - Secondly as after I paint my nails I'm guaranteed to smudge them within 30 seconds

         - And Thirdly.... It make people so happy and spreads a bit of love!

Talking about love....  I know I said no more pictures of my adopted cat.... But this is pretty cool right??

MY CAT CAN FLY!!


Love from the Lane.

Pandcake!

No its not a spelling mistake! This blog isn't about pancakes but a much cuter but just as yummy sweet treat! As mentioned in a previous blog I promised a picture of my sisters birthday cake - as it wasn't exactly your typical birthday cake but a certain furry little friend!!

"Yummy yummy yummy I've got cake in my tummy..."

My mum isn't the biggest cake eater ( I know I KNOW how can you not be a cake eater?!?)  but even she managed to squeeze in a couple of slices of this little munchkin so apparently he didn't last very long! I also have been told that he was slightly dangerous as a couple of family members ended up with cocktail sticks in their mouths.... maybe a different way to attach body parts in future.....

Anyway after making this cake for my sister quite a lot of her friends have dropped into conversation with me when their birthdays are and what their favourite cake flavour is..... I think cake season is just beginning.... But from Panda Lane.. ttfn!

Munich!!

Hellloooooooooooooo!!

It has been a while since we last posted something so I thought I'd get things moving again! Figgy and Lane have recently been to the land of Munich and had an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G few days! As my friend Bobbie sings sunn is shinnninngggggg, the ICE CREAM was sweeetttttt...

Possibly the most yummy ice creams I have ever eaten?!

In true Figgy Lane style we had to rock some funky nails for the trip.................... 

           

(Click to enlarge - Lane's ladybirds left, Figgy's MUNICH right!)

Quite often we paint each others nails to avoid that tricky hand you have to do with your non dominant hand but I (Lane) had gone home for my sisters birthday (cake pictures to follow!) so we had to do our own! This means some of my ladybird eyes are slightly wiggly (Also I am VERY impatient and didn't really wait  till it had dried when topcoating) but I hope the overall cuteness is recieved. Figgy's nails read MU-N-I-C-H!!

Anyway now we are back we'll get back to blogging! Just for you our one little wig-waming follower, hopefully you will have friends soon!!

Spaghetti and Meatballs!!

Hey!! Feeling a bit peckish? A couple of days ago it was Papa Lane's birthday so I made him this bowl of spaghetti.... eh eh did I have you fooled?? It is actually a chocolate cake!!! And if I say so myself a pretty yummy chocolate cake!! 

It consists of the cake, then a layer of frosting "spaghetti", then a layer of red frosting "tomato" sauce, then some icing "carrot" chunks, followed by the meatballs- none other then your innocent ferrero rochers, with a sprinkle of grated "cheese" or white chocolate on the top. 

I hope Mumma Dolmio would be proud. Over and out The Lane.

Pablo

Ahhhh good old Pablo. Here boy! He's a dog by the way! In homage to Pablo, we painted our friends nails with beautiful dalmatians and his name. I'm sure that if Pablo could read he would be very happy with them!


This one's for you Pablo! Take it away DJ!!




The Figster!

Edward

Meet Edward the elephant teapot!! He is the most beautiful thing I have ever made in ceramics (and that's saying a lot!)


He even has red toenails :D:D:D:D and a tail, which you can't see and he is the most efficient teapot as you don't end up with shaking arms as you pour the tea out of him because he has two handles! 


Edward you would be more useful to me if I actually drank tea.... but you are still beautiful to look at in the kitchen. 




The Figster

Colouring Pencils.

Ever wondered what to do with left over colouring pencils? Ever been out and about and suddenly realised you wished you had a pack of colouring pencils on you to do a bit of shading? Well look no further!

This a necklace I made for this VERY purpose! Dragons den here I come!!! Love the Lane.

Cat Leg

We have a friend called Cat, who's going out with a guy with the surname Leg, and we have a running joke in our friendship group that if they get married she will be called Cat Leg! haaaa 

So in true Figgy Lane style we had to make her a cat leg cake :D

This is the only good picture we had of it, as we completely forgot to take a pic until it had been cut and eaten... but you get the gist of it!

(It was carrot and pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting and minty chocolate for the claws and it tasted gooooooood!)

Hammy!!!

Meet the cutest cat in the world!!!!!! Before you get too scared no I'm not a crazy cat lady who is going to post hundreds of pictures of her cats doing different things, just this one as you have to admit... he is SOO CUTE. Also if it makes it better he is my adopted cat. Figgy named him Hamish, but the other day we found out his name is.... wait for it.... Josh..... we feel Hamish or Hammy as he's known is wayyyyy more appropriate. Also don't worry I think Josh's real parents know how attached we are to him as today they came out the house while Hammy was just chilling sat on my lap. 

Has anyone ever read the Where's Wally books were you look for the dogs tail on each page? Figgy says she does that looking for Hammy in our garden every morning as all she can see is a fluffy orange tail.

Love from the Lane.
