Celebrations

I feel like this blog has turned into a cooking blog rather than sewing/patchwork/stitching one over the past little while...and here again I am showing photos of more food! A very dear friend turned 50 this weekend just past and I made some lemon slice and macarons for her afternoon tea, as shown in the above photo.
Her brother Phil made a baked cheesecake (below)....though not like any baked cheesecake that I have ever seen...he has such a gift for making cakes...he used to work with Gabriel Gate and Jeff Jansz many years ago on"What's Cooking"...he was the one who made the "here's one I prepared earlier" items....he now makes the occasional wedding cake and special cakes for loved ones....the cake stand is made of toffee...as are the "gems" hanging around the stand...not only did it look wonderful, it was delicious to eat....
