Heritage Day

{The beautiful gardens}

South Africans across the country celebrated their rich and diverse culture on Thursday 24 September, our country's national Heritage Day. I celebrated the way I love most – relaxing with friends and family. Christopher and I started the morning off with a lovely breakfast with Pat and Eddie at a quaint little tea garden situated in a lovely nursery. While Christopher played with the other children on the jungle gym, we just chatted about everything and nothing, which made the day just perfect.

Decadent Cupcakes.....

A couple of weeks ago I tried my hand at baking some cupcakes, after all, how difficult could it be. But I was so disappointed by the end result, as they did not turn out as I had imagined. On Wednesday afternoon I found my dream cupcake. My friend Terri made these divine cupcakes for her daughter’s 4th birthday party. Each cupcake was handmade using only the best ingredients including real butter, Belgian chocolates, vanilla extract instead of vanilla essence and fresh fruit. Decadent cupcakes that taste as good as they look.
