We get our son’s birthday; William. I believe he turned 26?
I made him a cake.
I did it all before 12 o’clock aswell. Which is good for me, considering I take the whole day to bake, and even then find i’m cut short! 
I made him a nice little chocolate cake. I put a little more effort into the presentation than I did the flavour of the cake this time.
This photo got 8 likes on Facebook. Compared to the little 6 likes that my own Birthday Cake recieved
But let’s not even pretend, this is a much better quality photo than my b-dizzle cake, innit bruv. So that’s probs why it got all them likes.
Giving me the benefit of the doubt however, my blog hasn’t uploaded this in a good quality photo at all.
So yeah, Mary B, wishing you put me through to the next stage of auditions on the Great British Bake Off yet? SHOULD BE.
I’d have owned it.
Okay, so maybe I’m still a little sour..
I’m back

And i mean it.
For now..
So, anyway, the last time I was mooching around on my blog one of my little captions somewhere stated I was 17. I am not 17.
I’m now 19.
So to kick off my age update in style, I thought i’d post about my Birthday Cake.
Unlike last year, this year I just had one Birthday Cake.
It was typical Alessandra Birthday Cake Style. White Chocolate. Mmmm.
Of course it was absolutley delicious.
I covered my cake in white chocolate ganaché, the surrounded it in a tranferrable cake collar – which made it look sweet.
Then I topped it off with a ring of stars. Just to put a bit of myself onto my cake.
So, here is a photo for you.
It’s possibly the most uncreative photograph ever, but hey, you can see the cake, so no complaining, okay?!
I treat my friends and immediate family to this little bad boy. Most of my friends, who aren’t afraid of cake, actually had more than one slice! More than one slice! Can you believe it!?
Yeah, it was that good.
A few hours

Turned into a few months. What can I say? I perfected not only my driving skills, passed 3rd time btw, but my procrastinating skills.
I’ve become real good at learning how to do nothing whilst looking like you’re actually doing something..
So anyway, I have been baking. Nothing too special, but you know how it is. Over these past months, I baked a Banoffee Pie, A White Chocolate Collared Cake, A Malteaser Cake and an array of biscuits and stuff.
The worse bit of all this is, i’ve still been photo documenting my baking but i’ve been posting it on Facebook.
I’m such a traitor!
I know.
But oh well.

I Dont Want To Be All

I’m a total slacker. But mate, I’m a total slacker!
I’ve eased up on the baking and stuff since I started learning to drive.
However, don’t get me wrong, I still bake.
And
Now I’ve finished Uni for like, 5 months. I’ma pick it back up once a week, AT LEAST.
Just gotta arrange to do it when I haven’t been out the previous night, cos uncooked egg kinda makes me go ‘ERGH’
brb. be back in a few hours…
For clarification

I do not have a life.
I should be 81.
Not 18.
This blog clearly states I stay at home all the time, bake, and look after my dog.
And also, I’m a heavy user of sarcasm and irony.. and such things.
Just FYI.
Domenica is my sister

My sister has the best sister ever.
Called William
If she liked food as much as I did, she actually would be loving me 24/7
I made her a birthday cake fit for any 10 year old.
If you ask me, just looking at it made my braces run another couple hundred miles..
In all honesty I dunno why the glitter looks un straightish. Cos it was PERFECT. I TELL YOU.
Oh Nutella, I love you.

I really do.
If this were a proper classified blog I’d have to call you ‘Hazelnut Spread‘
However, I’m all for product placement, being a Media Studies student and what not..
ANYWAY.
These definitely are a recipe to kick off a hangover.
Not even lying, I was FINE, until I gobbled a couple or four of these babies down.
No regrets though; it’s food; I made it; it’s Nutella; they were AWESOME.
I could think of some very descriptive adjectives right now but this is a family blog and they wouldn’t be appropriate..
LOOK AT THESE BABIES.
I’ll only put two photos on.
There’s some on my Facebook.
Everyone who reads this has my Facebook anyway,
If not, well.
Make yourself known, stranger 
hahaha yeeeeeeah i’m a creep.

This shit doesn’t even deserve a part two.
I’M TOO YOUNG FOR A PART TWO.
PAH.
Aggro.
Anyway, This is my savoury bake.
Not gonna lie, I did MINT for someone who’s pretty much straight edge sweet baker.
My Homemade Puff Pastry was mint.
My asparagus were cooked to perfection.
The proscuitto reflected me being an italian BEAUTY. So obviously it was gorgeous and some people just couldn’t handle it..
And just all together they were brilliant.
That guy completely lied.
PAH.
Anyway, this was my sweet bake.
Traybake innit.
Tasted nice.
I could’ve done better.
BUT.
A six hour bus ride; OH HELL NO.
Not like I totally neglected them, I did put glitter on top..
C’mon, dudes, they totally missed out.
I could’ve been the next supermodel baker. I mean, HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF ME?! width not height
Crazy crazy fools.
Peace out yo’
SHIT MAN

TOTALLY never realised there’d been no proper baking photos since erm, like, last year..
And considering I went and did that fake off shit too!
Well anyway.
I made Coconut Surprise Mini Muffins the other day, when I was hungover-ish.
They are the ultimate indulgence, bar chocolate.
And I made them with the conscience of my blog hanging over me.
SO
I did what all food bloggers do, and took some ‘gradual’ photos.
How very original of me hey!
Anyway,
Here they are.
The surprise was my idea.
Not BBC.
Which is where I got my Coconut Cake recipe from; if you’re an avid follower you’ll have seen previous photos of this scrumptious cake.
So there we have it. I should really be a baker. I just really should.
I’m not good at my current job.
And well, lets be honest. THIS IS WHERE I HAVE TALENT.
Even if it’s only the most tiny miniscule amount. Maybe I spelt that wrong, I DNO.
Dear Mary Berry,

and Nigel Haworth (if that’s who it was, i dont really know to be honest..)
After all the cakes, pastry and other baked delights you consumed yesterday, I really do hope that your hearts and health stay well.
NAHHHHHHHHHHHT
Shoulda put me through to the next round suckas!
Yes, I’m slightly, almost terribly heartbroken about the whole experience.
I’ll let you off with the fact you said I was a good baker, however I will NOT dismiss the fact you didn’t believe I could do it as I wasn’t experienced enough.
Come on, mate, I’M EIGHTEEN, I should have NO experience in any aspect of life. NONE. Give me some credit pur-lease.
Anyway, I’ve refrained enough bad language to tell you that I might come back next year, so therefore that would be a whole year mores worth of experience.
However, I’m sure all the butter will have attacked your heart by then.
GOODBYE.
