Today was a baking day for me as my sister will celebrate her 50th birthday on Monday. Sarah requested a simple Red Velvet cake, as its a big birthday I decided to make the cake a little more special by making it with 4 layers. I filled it with vanilla buttercream and added some frosting, white chocolate stars and rice paper flowers . I finished it off with a sprinkle of red sugar crystals, some edible glitter and a sparkly 50. I think its turned out ok, just hope she likes it! Pictures of the cake will be included in tomorrows post.
After our night out last night we opted for a quiet night at home to chill out and watch the Strictly Come Dancing Final. All of the finalists this year are really good so I am really excited to watch and see who wins, I am hoping its either Joe or Alexandra as they are my faves. We had a very simple but tasty dinner of mussels cooked in a tomato, onion and garlic sauce. The mussels were lovely, really plump and juicy and they made the perfect Saturday night meal. A couple of gin and tonics finished the night off perfectly.
Day 15 of my advent calendar was a mascara from Diego Della Parma. I haven't heard of this brand or tried any of their products so am interested to do a bit of research and find out a bit more about them. Day 16 was a Percy & Reed hairspray. I was happy to finally get a hair product, was beginning to think that there wasn't going to be any.
Love and festive hugs, Jane x
