Baking week and random creativity

This week i have made a ridiculous amount of cakes. I can't show you a picture of one of them right now because it's in the oven as we speak. That one is my birthday cake, because i turn twenty tomorrow. And by birthday cake i mean tray of brownies. There will be plenty of pictures taken of it soon.
Right so the first thing i made was pie.

It was going to say I ♥ apples. But ran out of space for the s. As you can probably guess it was an apple pie. And it was so yummy. I kind of want some more. This was for my mum. She loves tart pies.
The same day i decided we also needed more cake. As i loved the cake-cones (cupcakes baked in icecream cones) so much i decided to make some more.

As you can see this time i added flakes. I also did a dollop of frosting instead of swirls. Yes it's less realistic, but there was far too much frosting last time. The ratio was off. i also used chocolate sauce this time so it remains nice and sticky instead of melted chocolate. And one more variation was adding sprinkles to the cake mix. They are so good!
The same day i made more cakes. Well Rice crispy cakes. they are one of the very few things one of my brothers is not allergic to. So they contain no dairy, nuts or egg.

I made them using toffee and marshmallow. They were the stickiest thing i've ever had to work with. But definitely worth it.
After all of that baking i took i day off. But we had lots of pastry left over so today i made a few more things. Firstly i thought we needed something savoury so i made a quiche.

It is spinach, pepper, onion and cheese flavour. I can't tell you how it tastes yet as it's my dinner for tonight but it sure does look good.
Even after this there was still pastry scraps left over so i made some mini red current tarts.

The three at the bottom of the first picture are actually jam tarts. Not red current. They are made with my little brothers home made crab apple jam. It's so tasty!
So that's all my baking. I just took my birthday brownie out of the oven and it smells good i'm telling you! Can't wait to eat a giant slice tomorrow.

Right, as i said i took a day off of baking but that day off actually involved crafts of a different type. A non-edible type. This week I did lots of painting. And a bit of gluing and cutting.
Painting first.
Firstly my mum said she wanted a new door sign for the front door.

 This side is for when we are at home, in the house, somewhere. Our house is pretty big and the knocker is sometimes hard to hear so it's just to let the postman or builders or whoever that we are actually in.

The second side if for when we're at home but in the garden. Obviously. Just to let everyone know where we are.
And because i liked the flower design so much i also added it to these frames i was re-painting. They looked all knackered and old before.

Aren't they so cute! Now i just need a couple of pictures of me and my boyfriend. Perfect.
The last thing i painted was owls. I love them. Every post must include owls!

They are supposed to be a tawny, barn, eagle and snowy owl. probably can't really tell. But i like them anyway. I want to make an army of them!
I actually stole this idea from somewhere, from someone. But i don't remember who. I think it was featured on My owl barn. I'll go have a look for you now. Bear with me.....

The last thing i made this week, well more like decorated is a pair of shoes which i want to wear to my university graduation next Wednesday.

The main issue i had with them before i that my feet would slide to the bottom, squash my toes and my make heels slip out when i walked. Annoying! So i just added giant ribbons to them. Now i love them even more than when i first bought them; they were just so boring!

Hope you've been having a nice week. See you next week!
