Bunting Torte

Since I didn't have very much painting to do this weekend I decided to bake the "Dobos Torte" that I saw on http://smittenkitchen.com. It looked deliciousness. Sooooo... I gave it a go - it doesn't look nearly as pretty as Deb's, but it tasted pretty damn good.

And so the name... well since it fitted nicely onto my bunting plate... it is now known as the "Bunting Torte"

Auckland Art and Craft Fair, shop and giveaway!!!!

Fair

WOW- what an awesome day! The Auckland Art and Craft Fair is now over for another 6 months, but it was such a good day and I'm really looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much to everyone who came to my stall and had a chat to me. I met some really great people today. (picture of my stall with mother in the back :) )

Shop

I now have my own little Felt shop where you can buy my stuff online. So check out: www.felt.co.nz/shop/shellyduck.

Otherwise if there is something that you would like to chat to me about now either leave a comment or drop me a line on mk[at]strauss[dot]co[dot]nz.

I picked up my fired cups and saucers yesterday. Teapots still to be collected.... I'm really pleased with the results. Here are some photos:

1. This is my original design... T for morning tea... cupcakes, black forest cake, gateaux... nom nom nom... dribble

T is for tea and toast and relaxing with the newspaper...

T is for tea at breakfast... bacon, fried eggs, poached eggs, boiled eggs...

T is for Kiwi morning tea... kiwifruit, pavlova, lammingtons (but only chocolate because the raspberry ones are gross) and hokey pokey ice cream (must confess - not entirely sure how that mixes with tea)
