I do however believe that I am very lucky as over the past few months I have done just a little bit of winning.
My first lushus win was through Facebook and The Daily Express Page where I won the Marion Keyes Book - Saved by Cake, along with a lovely assortment of Cooking items. Tins, Ingredients, Decorations, all sorts including my absolute favourite mixing bowl and Purple scraper.
An absolutely fabulous first win and has come to be my all time favourite cook Book. The Recipes all seem to turn out just perfect and the writing is just so amusing. I really do love this Book. I use the Vanilla Cupcake Recipe all the time for my Cupcakes.
My next win was just the other day and also links with my new hobby Cake making. I really love making Cupcakes and really wanted to have a go at a large Cake as it is my Grandson's Christening on Sunday and would love to make his Cake but as I have never baked a successful large Cake before, Let alone iced and Decorated one I thought it was a bit of a lost cause. Then I saw a Competition running through Good to know website. I have regular updates via Email from them and it is a very informative website. They are Celebrating their 5th Birthday and were asking for people to bake them a Cake. So I did. In the style of what Catherine would like for Jackons Christening Cake. We were going for Blocks on a simple white Cake.
I was so chuffed with it!!! It was huge and ended up giving most of it away as I just couldn't get through it all. Anyway I emailed the Pictures over and guess what??? I came a runner up and won this Fab Cook Book :-)
Here is a link to the Gallery of entrants, with my Picture on the front page :-)
And now for my main reason for this post.
I HAVE JUST WON A YEARS SUBSCRIPTION TO PAUL BRADFORDS SUGARCRAFT SCHOOL!!!!!
How cool is that. I am sooooo excited. I have been looking at this page nearly every day for weeks but decided I really couldn't afford a subscription just yet. Then I somehow found this lovely Blog http://hoosierhomemade.com/ and it had a Competition to win a Subscription to the site. So of course I entered and then I won :-)
I am so so so excited and can't wait to start learning. Here is a link to the Page. If you sign up there are loads of Free Classes to watch.
Hi Wendy.
ReplyDeleteMay I use your blue bowl pic? Check out my blog for a funny true story about the blue bowl.
Also I couldn't help but notice your 1014 days without smoking tobacco. Excellent! Congratulations. I blog about tobacco cessation and would welcome your comments.
Yes of course you can and thank you. I gave up smoking the December before my First Grandchild was due. He is now 2 1/2 and I now also have a 1 Year old Granddaughter :-)
