Favourite Things Friday

I'm doing the Happy Dance because it's Friday and I'm hitting the shops with Miss P and Little P today to knock off most of my Christmas shopping. Time is a ticking on the Christmas Countdown clock people!

A special occasion prompted me to put my big girl panties on this week and get out my baking tins. We had a celebration at work and it's not the same if you roll up with a hunk of char grilled beef unless it's a barbecue.

I started with vanilla cupcakes and decided to make them ultra special in celebration of the arrival of a grand daughter for my friend D.

No matter how careful I am I usually end up picking up fairy dust for the rest of the week from places it shouldn't be like the bathroom and in my bed. 

I could have stopped there but where would the fun be in that? These cupcakes have to scream "Look at me , Look at me " 

I just realised my goth/emo nail polish needs a touch up....and that I could stand to lose some weight off my hands. 

Honestly can you ever have enough marshmallows? Especially pink and white ones? 

And for the finishing touch (because there isnt anywhere near enough sugar in this recipe already?) I melted some white chocolate and drizzled that over the marshmallows. Voila. Cupcakes fit for a Princess. 

Instant sugar rush and my favourite thing this week. (We were all pinging off walls for the rest of the afternoon ) 

I've been the lone grandmother at work for over two years. It's been kind of stinky not being able to gush and rave on with someone who understands what it's like to have the smartest , most adorable grandchild in the universe. Welcome to the world Isabel. Your Nanna and I are going to have so much fun swapping Grandma stories!

Time to share your favourite thing for this week. Feel free to link on up and tell us all about it.
