sweets party

I’m not sure if I’ve over catered… noooo, who am I kidding? There is no such thing as over catering when it comes to sweets. So, here I am, all ready for Wendy’s sweets party.

I’ve brought along with me pudding, cake, pudding, jellies, pudding, tarts and more pudding.

Everyone who knows me well, knows that I’m a sweet tooth. I think I have inherited it from my Dad, who always reads the dessert menu before choosing his main course. Tiramisu, a chocolate eclair or crème caramel; just some of his favourites.

I thought of also bringing along a novelty cake, but in the end I thought a roly-poly pudding would be a much better choice.

When I think of decorated cakes I immediately think of this, the Australian Womans Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book. I think, over the course of my childhood, I made up most off the cakes featured with my Dad, including the train, the pool, the cat and the farm (was there a farm or is my memory playing a trick on me?)... Did anyone else have this book?

I also thought of bringing along a few of my favourite cupcakes, but since I’ve shared them with you before I thought everyone would enjoy some variety instead.

And now if you want a real sweet thrill, head on over to GH's posting today for more candy, more pie and more sugar.

now i want dessert!!!

i especially love your pie illustration :)

i used to have a huge sweet tooth, i mean i would do anything for chocolate. i ate almost the entire pan of brownies in a day whenever my dad baked them! i would buy a 3 pack of these muffins that were HUGE and eat them all in one sitting...a box of chocolates didn't stand a chance in my house. get it? well, my taste buds changed about a year ago and now i hardly ever think about sweets! isn't that so strange? i thought it was. it's good though, because now i love veggies and other healthy foods, hehe :)

[julie]

My Dad also passed his sweet tooth on to me. Dad's favourite used to be Rocky road- which is too much even for me. But I continue the Garson sweet tradition with a love of cream buns- this was fostered by my early years at the school tuckshop. I hope to pass the pleasures of a real cream bun onn to my girls.
