Christmas Bouquet Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Christmas Bouquet Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on by Jupiter

Every month, Amelia and I go to our cupcake decorating class with Sweet Designs by Jennie to spend some one on one time together and make some sweet treats! Normally, we take classes that are both fondant and piping, but this time, we went to one that was JUST piping. The Christmas Bouquet Cupcake Class is a little different from the standard class of six cupcakes, having some arts and crafts to do at the start and then lots of decorating to be done.

Levelling-up Easy Cheesecake with Opies Black Cherries

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to the holiday season, often baking and cooking go hand in hand. Whether you have a holiday party coming up or just want to have a no-fuss dessert to bring to a friends house, we’ve found a way to make a no-bake cheese cake something more impressive. Using easy ingredients and minimal effort, we’ve created a no bake cheesecake Opies Black Cherries in Kirsch. The recipe is even easier if you can get your hands on a pre-made biscuit base, like graham cracker crusts, to go along with your cheesecake.

Taking a Canal Tour with Rederij Plas

Taking a Canal Tour with Rederij Plas

When in the centre of Amsterdam, there are a whole line of different canal tours that you can choose from. Some have themes (primarily alcohol), some do not have any prices listed and you need to use a QR code, and others are just set up ready to take you out on the water. We specifically picked an un-themed tour that had a price listed, called Rederij Plas, which felt like one of the older canal tours on this side of the water.

Jack and the Beanstalk at Queen's Theatre Hornchurch

Jack and the Beanstalk at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] It’s Christmas time, and one of the very traditional things to do in England is go to a Panto. They are such a magical experience, so I was very excited to be invited back to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, where I saw my first Panto, this time for Jack and the Beanstalk. Obviously, Jack and the Beanstalk is a classic fairy tale, with a story everyone knows and loves. At the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, before the play, we actually checked out their exhibition of drawings for the Dame’s dress, which included an entry from Amelia! She had entered and it was good enough to be presented on the showcase, which is always such a honor.
