Baby Fig & Cherry

As most of you probably know, I announced recently on Twitter that I’m 13 weeks pregnant – how exciting!

I promise I won’t blab too much on this blog about it and rest assured this blog won’t turn into a baby food blog.

However, I am in the process of creating another blog where I will journal my pregnancy experience (it’s my first) which will also include food related content like weird cravings and my quest to make my own healthy baby food when the time comes.

I’ll let you know when it’s up and running in case that sounds like something you’d like to read (but I understand if it totally isn’t!).

This is just one of the gorgeous 20 cupcakes I decorated at the Planet Cake Easter Cupcakes course last week.  Sorry it’s just a teaser, but the full review is coming very soon, promise.

For now, I’m enjoying the long weekend by baking a batch of hot cross buns (yes, I’ll post the recipe!) and a big rich chocolate cake. I hope you’re doing something just as yummy and relaxing.

Chat soon, Christie x

New TV commercial for Australian Pork! Isn’t it hilarious?!

Last night I attended the launch of the very first Australian Food Blog Award category by the Australian Association of Food Professionals (formerly Food Media Club Australia) at La Mint Restaurant in Darlinghurst.

The launch announced the very exciting news that Australian Pork (yummy!) is the official sponsor of the award.

The lovely Liam from Australian Pork said they were proud to sponsor the award as he compared food bloggers and ‘pork’ as the under-dogs of their respective industries. Pork of course being less popular than beef and food blogs being taken less seriously than mainstream media.

I’m annoyed to admit that I didn’t do most of the things I promised for 2009. BUT, I did do a lot of other super-cool stuff!

I guess 2 out of 9 resolutions isn’t that bad seeing as I only had 5 months in Australia before spending the rest of the year travelling around the world.

At least I ticked off big resolutions like going to the Sonar Festival in Barcelona and tasting the culinary delights in three of my dream cities: Barcelona, New York and Tokyo.

Custom made cookies for my company’s clients

I’m very excited to share these with you! They were made by the very talented Libby from Polka Dot Cookies in Newtown, Sydney for my web design and email marketing company, Morning Copy.

They were hand delivered to our Sydney-based clients who absolutely loved them! Unfortunately, our international clients could not receive them as the delicate shortbread wouldn’t travel well, but the lucky Sydney-siders definitely appreciated being treated.

A big thank you to my friend Michelle!

Yes, that’s John Torode‘s personal birthday message and signature for me (with a kiss!).

My wonderful friends Michelle and Huw went to dinner at John’s new restaurant The Luxe at Spitalfields in London last week.

They happened to see John there and asked him to sign the book for me (which they kindly bought – thank you!).

To say I was excited when she told me that she’d done this was an understatement! I’m such a fan of the Masterchef show (the British one, which existed waaaay before the inferior Aussie version – sorry guys).
