Just getting back into the swing Of things today.

I have bread currently proving in the TMX bowl. I'm hoping it's as light and fluffy as the reviews say it is because I'm not a fan of dense bread. Then later I feel like some Choc chip cookies. I love them soft.

I have no idea what we are going to have for dinner but for dessert I'll probably do French toast with jam and cream.

Yummm

Karen the brain cupcakes were indeed a brain wave. :P
 The Grug cake is fantastic. I adore Grug, he reminds me of Nic Natinui (a footballer who is very tall and has dread locks). The kids used to love reading Grug books when I was teaching. He inspired even the most reluctant readers. You and your DH are very clever.

Thank you all for your encouragement and compliments on the cake!  I was quite happy with how he turned out in the end - although there was a bit of cursing when I was trying to get the choc icing to stick to the cut sides of the cake  >:( 

And Maddy, the icing caddy arrived just in time, and was really useful.  I particularly like the practice templates with the clear plastic that goes over the top of the template guide so that you can practice your piping  ...... I did that with the left-over icing, and got to know some of my new piping nozzles.  An excellent buy  :-*

LOL Cookie ...... he really does look like Naitanui doesn't he!!   :D :D :D
