Dress - hand me down from my Mum, boots - Office
I miss my blue hair & I'm not wearing any make up cause I feel like poop but my new style muse is Mathilda from Léon <3 (extended post on this soon).
Sorry for the lack of posts recently! Between work & not having a lot of money, I haven't been going out very much so I've spent a lot of time watching Breaking Bad (!!!), sleeping, salvaging furniture & baking cakes.
Poop cakes
110g/4oz butter or margarine, softened at room temperature
110g/4oz caster sugar
2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
110g/4oz self-raising flour
1-2 tbsp milk
4 Ferrero Rocher chopped/crushed
8 squares of Galaxy (or whatever) chopped
2 tbsp Nutella
For the buttercream:
Icing Sugar
Butter
Water
Nutella
✿ Preheat oven to gas mark 4/180°C & line a baking tray with paper cases.
✿ Cream together butter & sugar, beat in the eggs & mix in the Nutella.
✿ Fold in the flour and add the milk. Mix until everything is mixed and at a soft consistency, kinda like slightly melted ice cream.
✿ Spoon the mixture in to the cases filling them about half way.
✿ Bake for 8-10 minutes (poke with a skewer to check if they're done - if they are it should come out clean)
✿ Once the cakes are done, leave them to cool.
✿ To make the buttercream we mixed icing sugar and butter as per the box instructions with a little water and then mixed in a couple of spoonfuls of Nutella.
✿ Spoon the buttercream in to a sandwich bag and snip off the corner to make a DIY icing bag then starting from the outside, pipe on to the top of the cakes in a spiral, finishing in the middle with a little peak.

I made these for my Mum's Birthday and I hadn't planned for them to come out how they did, but luckily she has the same sense of humour I do and they were totally yummy too, so she loved them anyway. Recipe adapted from this one I found on the BBC site here.
Heres a little summary of my month in Instagram photos:
Forever commuting, best cider <3, cute little seaside trip
