Elyse's 21st

I do believe i forgot to post this entry about a month ago. Can you tell i've been stressed? Oops. Well here it is, a post on the second 21st i attended last month, one of my other best friends, Elyse.

This is the birthday girl and her very cute cake (made by the same talented lady that made my 21st cake- aka her mom). The cake has cyanide and happiness comics. 

Yes we are strange creatures.

Two of my besties being silly and dancing the night away.

Isn't my wife pretty? (ok so not actually my wife, just my bestest best friend in the whole world). 

I love this dress, from Max and co. Can you tell i have a thing for blue lately? I can't help myself, i just find blue so enticing, and so calming to wear.

And of course the lovely Elle in a gorgeous vintage dress.

Just a photo showing silliness and fun.

It was a really fun night, a beautiful location down at the Italian Village at the rocks. The food was tasty, the cake was SO yummy. And i had a lovely time catching up with friends i hadn't seen in ages.

Mmmm scones

Many many apologies, i know it's been a month since my last post, but it has been a crazy busy month filled with assignments. But i am back, and with a delectable recipe for those who love scones. This recipe is not a traditional scone recipe, but i found that it resulted in fluffy, morish scones. Enjoy!

4 cups of self-raising flour
1 or 2 tbls caster sugar
1 cup thickened cream
1 cup milk
2 tsps vanilla essence

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees, line baking tray with baking paper.

Sift dry ingredients into a bowl.

Mix wet ingredients in a pouring jug, stir and combine with dry ingredients. When the mixture forms a doughy texture, pour onto a cold surface and kneed gently until smooth.

Roll the dough out and use a round cookie cutter to make 12 even scones. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones have a golden brown tinge.

Serve them steaming hot with whipped cream and really tasty jam (my preference is raspberry), honey or syrup. Absolutely delicious!

Hope you enjoy, i certainly did!!!
