Cupcakes Category: Other Foodiness
Elodie had a little party for her friends last Sunday, so I made a little buffet and cupcakes for pudding. Well, their mums & dads needed feeding too…

Elodie’s First Birthday Category: General
Elodie turned one this week. I can’t believe she is a year old already, where has the time gone?
We had a small family party on her Birthday to celebrate and of course, she had a Birthday cake too. It was themed on her wallpaper – delicate girly butterflies & flowers (sparkly of course, but that doesnt show very well in the pics). It was another traditional madeira sponge with jam & buttercream with white regalice.

Another Birthday Cake Category: General
This time for my Mums birthday. Another madeira cake with white regalice and flower decoration. I didn’t fancy a bow made out of icing (icing overload) so managed to find some wired organza ribbon. It was very tasty and has lasted a good week.

Review: 60 Hope Street, Liverpool Category: General, Reviews
We’d been meaning to eat at 60 Hope Street for a quite while and we’re not sure how we hadn’t managed to get there sooner. The occasion that finally got us there, however, was my mums 60th birthday. And on a recommendation from my brother we managed to book a table for what turned out to be a rather pleasant dining experience. We only wish we’d taken the opportunity before!
On arriving we went downstairs to the Bistro/Bar area and ordered a drink, this was the only sneaky tactic I didn’t like as our table was ready and waiting when we arrived, but some restaurants do have a bad habit of getting you to order a drink before ordering wine for the table.
When we were eventually seated (we played a game of musical chairs first!) the Maître d’ came over and handed out the menu’s. He then theatrically read aloud the days ’specials’. We’re not sure if he was new and performing with much enthusiasm or is always so entertaining, but with much gusto he detailed the dishes brilliantly.
It took us a while to eventually decide on what to order but I think between us we sampled quite a few of the dishes. To start I ordered Scallops in pastry with red pepper & aioli and Anthony eventually decided on the Assiette of Duck.
