I spent today baking, normally fun, but not when it's this much! I did 2 double batches of brownies and 45 cupcakes, which I iced and decorated with fondant toppers, which I foolishly decided to colour red and black, two of the hardest colours to do, so much kneading :(
The toppers are held on with gold and silver candle holders, 40 of them :) I did 2 extras to give to the friends who are looking after Emmy for the weekend, and 3 for us for tea :)
In-between making the toppers and frosting the cakes my dancing friends came round for a cup of tea and a chat, they brought the straw samples from Timely Tresses that I had sent to another friend, and they are very lovely, now I have to try and decide which colour I like best! Once the cakes were frosted it was time to get supper, after I fixed my cardigan to wear to the party (it was too big) it's now time for bed! So no sewing :( But I did try my 1830s dress on, apart from being HUGE I think it'll be a very good starting point for my 1820s bodice.
