Christmas Presents!

I hope Santa treated you all well. I must've been good as I received a lovely new camera, a couple of recipe books, and these adorable Christmas tree decorations.

A cute Snowman!

Father Christmas!

 And here are some of the books I received this Christmas which will come in handy for my baking!

 

 I think "Kitchen" will encourage me to cook proper food as well, instead of just cake all the time! Did Santa bring you anything nice this Christmas?

Birthday haul!

I was truly spoiled by my friends and family on my birthday and I received many lovely gifts - many which were baking related! So hopefully you'll begin to see some of my new belongings appear in use in posts!

I received this lovely cupcake stand from my brother and his fiance. I can't wait to make some cupcakes and display them.

I also received some animal cutters from them, though I keep mistaking the snail for a whale!


My other brother gave me a lovely cake book called "All Cakes Considered" which is proving to be a good read.


He also gave me these lovely sillicone tea cup cake holders that come with saucers. We are hosting German visitors at the moment and where I showed them the cases they were delighted at the novelty so I'm sure they'll be making an appearance soon.


Another cake book I was given is called "Eat Me", I've had a good browse and I'm sure their recipes will be making an appearance here soon.


My friend also gave me a couple of springform pans that'll come in handy when I'm baking all this cake! Have you recieved/treated yourself to any bakewear lately?
