I've been MIA lately as I've been busy busy busy!
But fear not, I'm back!
I spent all of last week playing with candy.
I've had chocolate under my finger nails, marshmallow dust in my hair and constantly sticky fingers.
Am I opening up a lolly shop?
Am I the next Willy Wonka?
Has my sweet tooth come back full force?
Have I totally changed my career?
The answer to all of the above is...... nope.
Truth is, I've been working.
Here's a little sneak peek as to what I've been doing!
I'll share more soon! and details too!
I haven't baked for what seems like forever!
I think I may be having withdrawals so baking will (hopefully) commence soon!
Australia Day has also snuck up on me, so I'm thinking I may need to whip up an Australianized dessert.
Any ideas?!
But do tell me,
If you could have a lifetime supply of any candy, what would it be?
and how will you be celebrating Australia Day?
(if you're Australian, that is! - or maybe you just love Australia!)
Good to see you back! And you've got a lot of patience to be playing with candy in this sort of weather *faint*
ReplyDeleteYou, my Kristy, are such a talented young lady! I also can't imagine playing with candy in such hot weather... You really are dedicated and brave!
ReplyDeleteBaking is so theraputic. I hope you can get back into it soon!
There's always the traditional lamingtons and pavlova, but I think they get a little borning after a while. Maybe you could get creative and make... Lamington brownies or something ridiculously morish like that! ;)
I KNOW you will think of something!

Ooh, now that's my kind of work! :) Welcome back, I've missed your posts.
ReplyDeleteAustralian desserts... hmm, maybe you could make something using a traditional bush food? Perhaps lemon myrtle cheesecake or Kakadu plum jam drops? Something a bit different, anyway :)
Rita - The heat has been a little bit of an issue! Especially when you add lighting into the mix! I think the key is working FAST. Lightning speed!!
ReplyDeleteEleanor - Lamington Brownies?! Jeez girl you are a genius!
Kate - I've never used lemon myrtle but I think it's something I shall try very soon. Kakadu plum jam sounds delicious! I must find some.
Glad to see a post from you! I can't wait to hear what the news is. What is Australian Day like!? Please tell :)
ReplyDeletei was hoping you'd be opening a candy shop :-) glad to see you're back
ReplyDeleteAllie - Australia day is very much a day for family and friends to get together and have a good time, whether it be at the beach or a barbeque at a friends house :) Actually it's much like 4th of July parties! Food, friends, family and fun
ReplyDeleteSimon - Who knows, a candy shop could be in my future some day! Haha
Kristy, I would give anything to be in Australia with you celebrating. well it would be a belated celebration right now but I would still celebrate hehe.
ReplyDeleteAnd if I could have a lifetime supply of candy i would have a hard time choosing just one. especially when i crave so many different types from chocolate varieties like reese's peanut butter cups to caramel taffy and salt water taffy, to wine gums and hot tamales <3
xoxo
I always have a hard time picking favourites! When it comes to making decisions, I'm horrible - so a lifetime supply of candy would be a hard thing to decide on :P
