Almost Easter...

[misspuppet]

It´s lovely to have a few days off. Every morning I make a resolution to get out of bed around eight to ´make the most of my day´. Usually I´m up and about around ten... *ahem*. Ah well, I have to get up at six five days a week  and I´m very much an evening person, so I think I´ve earned it

That cake looks great! I prefer fondant though (mostly because i dislike marzepan). Is it hard to get the marzepan cover The cake like that? I've never tried it before.

Thanks. Putting marzepan (or fondant) over a cake is relatively easy. You roll out a ball of fondant into a pancake untill it´s big enough to cover the top and sides of your cake. I usually put whipped cream over the cake to make the fondant or marzepan stick better. Then I drape the ´pancake´ over the cake and smooth the edges. When the fondant is thin enough it will fold around the cake like fabric.

I *adore* marzipan. It´s my favourite thing to decorate a cake with.

Have a nice Easter too!

You´re welcome.
I keep thinking of it as a mini-holiday. Shame it´s almost over though.

The desserts looks pretty!

Yeah I always enjoy fall daylight savings because we gain an hour but in the spring I don't like that we lose an hour. I do like that it stays brighter longer.

"Ah well, I have to get up at six five days a week and I´m very much an evening person, so I think I´ve earned it." --> These are sentiments exactly. I usually try to sleep in on breaks and Saturdays, but since I have been trying to gain a better sleeping routine, I have not been sleeping as late. (7am vs. noon)

It´s nice to have more daylight, but I´m having the hardest time adjusting though.
