I’m overwhelmed with excitement and nostalgia. These cupcakes are celebrating the fact that S Club 7 have reunited and I get to sing and dance to all those amazing songs that made my childhood so much fun. This weekend they were ‘Bringing it all Back’ to the O2 and I made these cupcakes inspired by the tour. They featured the …

I destroyed the only pair of shoes I’ve ever truly loved. I had this pair of black velvet heels that had this swirly rose on the front and they were perfect. Not too high but tall enough.

I was asked to make a Grandfather clock for our friend Becky’s Grandfather’s 90^th Birthday. He has spent his life repairing clocks including Big Ben. There is a little article on him here. Becky sent me this image as a reference of how she wanted the clock to look. To start the grandfather clock I …
