Back to reality and on with the challenge

I have returned after a very cakie Christmas. I am back at work and so time for baking is horribly restricted. I have found time this weekend to do a trial bake of a new recipe. In honour of the new invention I am holding a tasting session at the local for friends. I am hoping they go down well as I have made 18 cupcake and that is too many to eat even for me. To decorate the cakes I have been attempting make rose buds out of flowerpaste and so far I am not having  much luck. I have made a few a they were pretty awful in my eyes. I will have to try again next weekend.
