Goodness me, how on earth are we at the end of July? This month has gone in far too quickly!!!
I know I have neglected the blog this month but to be honest I just haven't been in the mood to blog or bake that much. I also like to blog during my lunch hours at work but the first few weeks of July were so lovely that I spent my lunchtimes outside embracing the sunshine while it lasted.
I do have a few recipes that I need to share with you and I will try and get them up here over August. Now that it has cooled down a bit I feel more inclined to get back in the kitchen. I made a Chocolate Coconut Cake for CCC earlier on in the month and using buttercream was a nightmare so it put me off trying some new recipe ideas.
I also want to try out some cheesecakes and fridge cake ideas when I get a chance. Thinking I really need to write out a proper list or set myself some challenges otherwise I will never get round to trying out the new things I want to bake!
In the meantime here are a few pics of what I have been up to this past month.
