Cake decorating

At H's, the sugar craft queen.  Whilst Mr HB and S talked a lot about flying before Mr HB went off for his hearing test, H and I modelled, rolled, boned, cut and stuck sugar paste together to make these charming little cake toppers.  H had already done hers so I had models to copy from.  I confess I found it all very fiddly, especially as my eyesight is rubbish at the moment.  They travelled home safely in a shoe box and once completely dry will adorn my Christmas Cake. This year it was H's turn to chose the design  and as she has recently become a Grandma to a little granddaughter I suspect the design was chosen accordingly but I do love them, especially my plump Santa!  Once Mr HB returned from his successful hearing test we stayed for a late lunch of H's homemade broccoli and stilton soup, warm rolls and a very tasty lemon cheesecake with blackberry coulis.  Don't think we'll need much supper tonight.  

Another change in the weather today,:  very, very windy and quite warm.
