It's been a while ...
So I know it's been a ver very long time (nearly 7 months) since I last made a blog post and I have no valid excuse for that all it can say is sorry :(
I have been brainstorming ideas and things to do with my blog for the past few weeks as I feel like it's needs some sort of uplifting or swift change of direction.
I have decided to create a all new blog dedicated to solely my passion for baking!
I'm unsure yet weather to use this blog and carry on or creat a brand new fresh blog and start from scratch but when I decide I will let you know. (Hopefully within the next few days)
So my future posts will be baking tutorials with high quality photographs as step along guides, also I will be encorporating my YouTube into this aswell and creating video recipes for you to follow, as I do all the time (check out my YouTube channel, the link will be around here somewhere).
So if you have any baking enquires or anything you want to see me bake then please don't hesitate to leave a comment :)
Thanks for reading,

Technology 10 Years Ago...
I am nearly 21 and recently been thinking about my childhood, its scary to think how much the world has changed since I was 10 years old.
Firstly I didn't have a computer, not even a shared house computer. The closest computer was at school or my local library and even then, it was pretty much a word processor and the art game 'dazzle' that I used it for. Im not sure if google was even around then, but I certainly had never used it, The internet was not a 'thing' I was fully aware of. There was no youtube, or facebook, no twitter or blog sites, social media was not a major factor in society.
Secondly There was no flat screen LCD 3D TV systems, no way, nor was there 3 or 4 TVs per household, I remember growing up we had 1 TV in the living room, a big black bulky box with video player underneath. No DVD player, Netflix, Skybox, Tivo none of these things even existed. We had a huge stack of Videos beside the TV which had to be rewinded before being played, no external hard drives to store movies on.
Thirdly I want to talk about mobile phones, which has made a huge if not one of the biggest changes in the past 10 years. I remember my first phone, ad it is probably the same phone every other 20 year old had as there first phone, it was a Nokia 3310, and my primary use for this phone was to play 'snake'. A simple black and white screen, no apps, music, camera, photos, videos, but it was all we knew, It was the iphone of the time. Then came flip phones with awful camera but nobody complained because they were the first phone and camera integrated which was a revolution at the time.
Next I want to talk about computer games, Now I will admit I wasn't the biggest fan of gaming, but was prone to playing Super Mario or Crash Bandicoot on the Playstation, and when I say playstation I mean the big old grey one, the first machine of there time. I had a little dance mat that plugged into the PS1 and would dance around to my hearts content. Now they have all these games and consoles I wouldn't know where to begin, live interaction with people from across the world on the xbox, and movement sensor games with the wii.
It's crazy to think that over the past 10 years which is not that long in reality the technological world has changed so drastically, and Its scary to thing where it will lead in the next 10 years.

DIY - Vinyl Record Cupcake Stand
I am constantly on the lookout for crazy new ideas when it comes to baking, decorating and showcasing my products, and found this amazingly unique way of displaying cupcakes using old vinyl records.
As always I recorded a youtube video to show you step by step how to make this, so give it a go and impress your friends and family at your next party.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel to see more videos like this one.

Rachel's Cake Company
The past couple of weeks I have been super busy setting up a little cake/cupcake business. I have always had a huge passion for baking and it seemed only right that my next step in life would be to use this passion and drive to do something in life that I enjoy and hopefully everyone will too.
I make specialty cakes for all occasions and have a very creative streak when it comes to design and flavours and am constantly praised for the work I do.
I will be setting up a stall at a Bowlers Market (near Trafford Centre in Manchester) next week, selling a selection of cupcakes, The four flavour combinations I have settled on will be the following:
