I love reading blogs myself and have noticed a lot of beauty and fashion bloggers have started doing monthly favorites and I think its a fabulous idea! Here are my offerings for May...
5. Disposable Icing Bags.
I was baking with my mam one weekend and discovered these in her kitchen and have been completely converted! One of my signature icings/frostings is a chocolate fudge one which is a very thick consistency and so it is very hard to get a regular icing bag completely
4. Decobake
This shop sells EVERYTHING their best store in my opinion is in Clane, Co. Kildare. As far as I know their on-line store is still under construction but if you have time it is well worth a trip. Staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They also run classes and free demonstrations which I am dying to try out.
3. Kitchen Aid
Ok, so I haven't got my hands on my own one yet but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They come in such a fabulous range of colours. It is my 'when I win the lotto' purchase and have even decided on the colour I want (Bayleaf). For anyone who has one or has ever used one you will understand my obsession. They are so sturdy as well as stylish and are great for mixing cakes such as fruit which can be difficult when using lighter mixers. They also come with an ice- cream making attachment which is always a lovely added bonus.
2. Edible Glitter
Still a firm favourite I absolutley love using them to bring colours to life, espically letters for names or any kind of writing on a cake. I went to the Cake International Cake Fair last year in Birmingham and found this one and I have to say it is the best I have used. The fair was so good for picking up bits like that are very reasonable prices. I have been meaning to look into buying direct but until then you can pick them up in good cake supply stores. 'Disco Hologram White' is my favourite colour I have tried so far as it goes with all colours of sugar paste. I also like to but a little bit in a sieve and sprinkle it over giant cupcakes.
1. My new Cath Kidston apron!
For my birthday last month my sister got me this very cute apron and matching oven glove for baking in. She picked them up in Cath Kidston which I absolutely love.
