My week in pictures

I'm sorry but I have serious writers block because I think my brain is going into meltdown with the amount of exams and revision I have done. Still, only four more to go and its my birthday this week as well!

1. I made some cakes for my Nan's birthday. (Vanilla: her favourite)
2. I found my name! There is something very satisfying about drinking some Diet Coke with your name on it.
3. Cakes after being iced and decorated. They went down a treat!
4. Revision will be the death of me
5. My new favourite app at the moment: Sims Freeplay. I wouldn't recommend it if you have exams like myself because you will get addicted and revision will be put behind you.
6. Nothing makes me happier than new books, I cant wait to get my teeth into these
7. I have started re-watching Merlin again and am already on series 4 (I only started last Monday, woops)
8+9. I decorated my hamsters cages with some stickers. They are very pleased I'm sure. The blue one is Merlin and Arthur's cage but I cant seem to find Merlin stickers anywhere so they had to settle for Doctor Who and Fred's cage is called the Burrow (she shared it with my other little hamster George) and so she gets Harry Potter stickers. 

So as you can see I am doing everything possible to procrastinate revision but on the 17th they will all be over 10 down 4 to go. So not long until my super duper long summer holiday!

Sundays = baking day

I spent the majority of today in the kitchen making some cakes and brownies. Now my cooking always looks bad but tastes nice so I think that's acceptable enough. 


before icing

After- Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate crunchy things on the top


Then I made brownies!


It has bits of milk chocolate inside as well so I'm hoping that will increase the taste. It's still too hot to cut into pieces so its still on the tray I baked them in, but I've just tasted a little bit and oh my gosh I don't like to toot my own trumpet but good gracious it tastes amazing.

OH AND HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MUM! I LOVE YOU!

A Sunday round up

I am incredibly happy to announce that the snow has finally gone leaving only the small remains of my snowman, which I always think looks ever so depressing and when I was younger it was a sight I would dread, only now I am in the realms of the angsty teenage hood I find myself highly anticipating the sight.


I have made a concious effort that I will start revising as of next week, I have done a bit in the last month but I really want to make a head start *sigh* it seems strange that so many teenagers (and adults I suppose) bust a gut every single moment of each day just so that they can get conformation from a single letter if they have passed a subject and that, that single letter could make or break your entire future (*argh, cowers in the corner*), crazy if you think about it.

On a more happier note I was looking through the wonder that is Amazon a few weeks ago and came across these absolutely amazing book ends! Which I can pretty much bet my life will make an appearance in my room some time this year. (I have absolutely no will power when it comes to saving money)
You can get them here if you're interested.

On my daily rounds of searching through the Harry Potter tag on Tumblr I came across these cakes and I most certainly want these for my birthday how wicked! *take note family and friends, I will settle for no less than these* 


I also wish to inform you all that I have finished series two of Merlin and am now on to seires 3, it's much darker. However, the relationship between Prince Arthur and Merlin never ever fails to get me laughing, they are exactly like a married couple! Brilliant. Also my friend Molly has just started to watch it so I am very happy that she will finally share my enthusiasm for it!


Anyway I think that's all I have to say for the time being so I hope you're having a lovely day and had an interesting week!
