WOYWW time again.

I know I say this every week, but sheesh where do the weeks go? It’s time again to become a nosy Parker and to ogle all the desks you can find over at the lovely Julia’s place

I’m cheating a little this week, as I’m currently writing this on Tuesday evening. Tomorrow will be more of a what’s in your kitchen Wednesday rather than what’s on your work desk Wednesday much like today was. I’m currently in the throes of a two tier cake, covered with home made marshmallow fondant. I promise pictures next week.

Anyway, last week I had me a good moan about my bridezilla and her unreasonable demands, but I’m delighted to report that I’m all done and they’re winging their way to her as we speak. Thank you for all of the lovely comments and support, it really helped perk me up.

What’s on my work desk is pretty much the remnants of the invites, plus the usual rubbish I never seem to find time to put away.

I also made good use of my new K-mix and made these Raspberry Trifle Cupcakes, vanilla sponge filled with Raspberry compote and topped with a real vanilla custard, edible glitter and sprinkles. My husband took them into work to test drive the new recipe on his colleagues, and I’m pleased to say they were a resounding success!

The black speckles are vanilla seeds, not dirt. Haha!

I think I managed to get around all of the desks last week too, yay me!

See you next week!

    Oh, you are naughty, naughty, naughty, the way you showcased the cupcakes close, closer, closest!! Not nice at all. I’ve drool running all over the place . . . Have good times in the kitchen and I’m glad that B (not as in “bride”) is out of your hair! Darnell #55

    I can just imagine those cupcakes were a resounding success – they look delish!
    Glad the dreaded wedding stuff has gone now and all you have left is the aftermath to clear away – take a breather and then start. After what you went through I imagine chill time is in order.
    Thanks for sharing, Hugs, Neet #20 xx

    Oh my goodness what devine cupcakes, with real vanilla custard, I have food allergies and custard is one of my favourites, but it must be made with egg and vanilla, no powder otherwise aniphalaxis reaction in the making. I so want to eat one, but couldn’t coz of the sprinkles. Ok I am have a cyber cake as a compromise. So yummie, my mouth is drooling for more. LOL

    Love the desk all natural and crafty, thanks for sharing and thanks for the cake.

Is that a Primrose Bakery cookbook on the corner of your desk? I have to admit to being very partial to my little car, I’ve owned her since 1989!! Thanks for signing up to follow me too!

    Like everyone before me, I am in LOVE with your cupcakes! It’s not even 9:00 a.m. here and yes, one with my coffee would be perfect! I love vanilla so the little specks of brown only make my mouth water more!

They look awesome, I baked today & my scones came out like rock cakes, even the bloody birds wouldn’t eat them 🙂 and my Victoria sponge cake just eked by, its ok, lots of jam & fresh cream disguised the weird taste of it!
