Third Festival First Night

I love the Sydney Festival, and I am a huge fan of the Festival First Night introduced by previous festival director Fergus Linehan. This year it ran for the third time, and I went along for the third time, yesterday, setting up in the Domain with friends. Unashamed dork that I am, I took along some mini cupcakes in bright yellow to match the official colour of the festival in 2010; that was all the excuse I needed to make them lemon-flavoured to boot.

Sparkling and New

Oh, it appears to be January again. I was reunited with my camera today, so am only now posting this, the results of some baking on NYE afternoon, taken on New Years Day.



I'm very much looking forward to a year of more bake sales, meeting even more happy vegan folk, trying Dandies marshmallows at some stage, getting the hang of multi-coloured icing (the photo above is the evidence of my first, rather mediocre attempt), and trying to be healthier and at least a little fitter. Hope it's a good one for you, too.
