Birthday Desk
Today is my Birthday!!! It is also St. Patricks day so I hope you all have a lovely St. Patricks day today! I am 25, eek! It started pretty well with a sunny morning, my birthday cake offering was looking good and made it to the office in one piece (see birthday cake post, it should be nearby!) and then it went a little rocky, the lady in charge of birthdays in our office had been told the wrong date for my birthday, they thought they had till June! They did, however, pull it together spectacularly and when I popped out to get lunch I came back to a beautifully decorated birthday desk which made me very happy. I got flowers, a card, celebrations and some sequins! Made turning 25 just a little bit easier. They flowers were so photogenic I may have got a little snap happy so sorry bout that! Pictures below!!!
Hope you had a lovely Monday!

Birthday Cake
So I ran through a couple birthday dessert ideas I really wanted to do cookie dough cupcakes with swirls of vanilla and chocolate buttercream and lots of sprinkles but logistics stopped me and I moved on to cakes instead. I have a tried a tested crowd pleaser which is lemon drizzle it is so easy to make and so tasty but I wanted to do something a little more impressive looks-wise.
Then I saw, on the i am baker blog, a green ombre cake and it got me thinking I had red gel dye, I had some cherry jam and I had everything else I needed for a Victoria sponge.
I loosely followed this bbc recipe for the sponge because I have the memory of a goldfish and completely forgot my scales weren't working so I had to use the cup trick again. Then once I had made the cake batter I followed i am baker and separated the batter into three bowls and a cake tin as I wanted one plain. I added less and less food dye to the three bowls and mixed the colour through and baked all the cakes, I even put in the extra effort and cut out some greaseproof paper for the bottoms of the tins!
Once baked I let them cool and made my butter icing using the same 1:2 butter to icing sugar recipe, this time 200g butter so 400g icing sugar. Once this was done and the cakes were definitely cool I started layering. First butter icing then cherry jam then a sprinkle of desiccated coconut and repeat! I tried to do thin layers as I was doing four of them and didn't want anything to overpower but I think I should have used a bit more jam. Once stacked I covered the whole thing in the rest of the butter icing and added the sprinkles on top and ta-da my birthday cake! Pictures below.

Florals at Warehouse
Asos have on an offer for 25% off selected dresses at the moment, I was looking through what I could buy and my eye kept being drawn to the pretty floral dresses, most of which were from Warehouse. They would be great for the weather now and there is both 25% off at asos and a sale on at warehouse. Young, fresh and very on trend, a great addition to any wardrobe because who doesn't have at least one girly day a month. I guarantee you would get compliment wearing any one of these out.
