Homemade focaccia bread

 My family are always bugging me about making this bread ever since a few years ago, when i first found the recipe in a cook book by Tana Ramsey, so the other day i finally gave in and i made some with olives and cherry tomatoes. It's not a hard recipe at all and its also not one of those recipes where you decide to make bread for lunch, and then half way through it tells you you have to leave it to rise for like 3 hours! (i have had a few experiences with recipes like this)

      Everyone really enjoyed the bread and it was eaten up pretty quickly (mostly by my older brother)
                                    Happy weekend and happy easter holidays!

Book cake

 For mothers day i wanted to make my mum a cake that was really special, so seeing as she is a writer and loves to read i thought a book that was really a cake was perfect! i made a circular sponge cake and then cut it into a square, i cut a slit down the middle and covered it in a sheet of white roll out icing,  i then wrote on it with a paint brush and black food colouring, I also painted stripes down the sides so that it looks like they are pages.

I was expecting it to be really difficult and take me all night, but i was not that hard at all and didn't take much longer then making a normal cake. i hope you liked my cake/book, and that you are having a nice weekend.

Knitted striped baby hat

 A few weeks ago my cousin told us that she was going to have a baby, so i decided to knit something for her. we found the pattern for this baby hat in a really cute little book of patterns and seeing as we don't know if it is going to be a boy or a girl i chose some neutral colours so that i wouldn't matter.

i got really into it and found it really fun to knit so it only took me three days! (which is good for me because i am an extremely slow knitter) i hoped you liked it and if you want to make your own little hat you can find the pattern book at this shop.
