The build up to Spring!

Spring is just around the corner and now is a great time to start sowing. Getting a head start is always on the agenda and it seems I always purchase more seeds than I intend on growing and would love to have more space!

Avacado and Finger lime


 That's why i enjoy my mums farm so much there is certainly no shortage out there! Here are some of the plants that have been born.



Strawberries!

Writing with chocolate

Happy birthday
 This is one of my first confident attempts at writing with chocolate on a plate for the restaurant. It's acceptable but I know to practice to perfection!

 
It only took 2 months but practice is paying off! Although I know I can always improve. There is just so much to learn about the piping bag, controlling the temperature of chocolate and even the style of holding the bag. I recently found some inspiration!
