So...
We have moved in. Now were surrounded by boxes and nowhere to put anything due to lack of storage. We sold all our bookcases and storage units at the beginning of the year, and now we are building ourselves back up from scratch which is slow moving.
The only problem is... I have a wedding cake to make for my cousin this week for her wedding on Friday, so after clearing a path from the oven to the sink to the fridge, I was finally able to start work.
All was going well on the baking front and I seemed to be compatible with my new oven which is always a bonus, when I realised at 7pm on Sunday evening I have no cake boards or dowels! doh! However, as Mr Mc now uses the car for work, I have no way of getting to a cake suppliers in time for me to be able to complete the cake (I also have a day job). So I called my Mum, who came to my rescue...
Cue Monday evening approx 10pm and I am now sporting cake boards and dowels. Now I come to the grim realisation that I have no pearl lustre, no dragees and the chiffon ribbon for the board is next to useless as it is see-through and looks silver instead of pink... Doh!
Things were not looking good... I then realised I had missed my big brothers birthday too...
Its weeks like this where I just want to push rewind and start again.
So cue Tuesday. I drag myself to work via the 30 minute trek over the fields and then the 30 minute bus ride to work. Cue phone call from the dress shop where I am getting my wedding dress from. Its arrived, 2 months ahead of schedule. This is good and bad. Good because its arrived and I get to go play dress up, bad because I don't yet have all the money to pay for it and I have no idea whether the wedding is still going ahead due to recent events and funding issues. Can this week just stop throwing things at me and just let me crack on now please??
So cue Wednesday. I drag myself to work and I go sit at my desk safe in the knowledge that Im working half day and able to collect aforementioned missing cake supplies before my dress appointment at 2pm... simples. However, I feel like I am missing something... But what? Oh god. I forgot to tell my Mum about the dress appointment! Frantinc texting and busy morning at work and I manage to properly organise dress appointment with Mum and friend in tow... phew.
The afternoon went pretty well... the dress fit, bought cake stuff and got home early afternoon and started final leg of cake... Then boom. Cooker stops working...
REALLY?!? C'mon! Can someone gimme a break?
Luckily I had managed to get all my baking done, but that doesn't help the fact that we have nothing in the house to eat which doesnt involve an oven or grill...
So what did I do? Nothing. I sat down and carried on with the cake... At least that seemed to be coming along well (eventually)
So here it is.
I was really pleased with it and so was my cousin. A good ending to a weird week.
Incidentally, the cooker is now fixed thanks to a wonky cable.
Oh and the wedding itself? Beautiful. The bride was beautiful, the groom was blushing, everything about it was brilliant. Congratulations Mr & Mrs W!
PS. I also forgot to post their card too...
