One thing I haven’t mentioned on my blog is that I am having a baby. I am 28 weeks pregnant with our first child and that is the main reason why my postings haven’t been as regular over the last few months as they were in the past. It is an extremely exciting time and I am pleased to say that I have been incredibly well and enjoying every minute of it.
I mentioned earlier in the week that Mum and Dad and two of my sisters were up in the weekend. Well, on Saturday Mum and my sisters hosted a baby shower for me. It was a lovely afternoon and our little baby was so spoiled! We had a lovely afternoon tea with sandwiches, asparagus rolls, a cheese board and these cupcakes and shortbread that I made. The cupcakes were lemon yoghurt cake and were topped with tinted whipped cream. I topped them with these little fondant booties which I made. There was a tutorial on one of my favourite blogs, Not Quite Nigella, some time ago. You can find it here. They are deceptively easy to make and look just so gorgeous.
The shortbread shapes are decorated with fondant and royal icing. They are pretty simple but sometimes less is more. As you will be able to tell from the colours, we are not sure what we are having, so are having a very fun time guessing!

Congratulations Tammy - I can't believe you kept such exciting news quiet for so long! The cupcakes are gorgeous.
Congratulations Tammy, I am a 34yr old kiwi living in Kentucky, USA and found your blog when I googled wanting a choc tan slice recipe some time ago & have been a regular reader ever since. I love reading your blog and it quite often makes me homesick as I miss all the good kiwi food and the kiwi lifestyle. Enjoy this time and all the best for this exciting time.
Wow! Congratulations. I live just outside Auckland and regularly read your blog to see what you have been baking. I felt so happy when I read your news - even though I don't know you. Keep well.
congratulations-- your baby will be very lucky to have a mum who can make such wonderful treats!!
Congratulations, Tammy!! And the cupcakes are adorable. We waited to be surprised with both of our girls. It was fun, but drove everyone around us nuts--"But don't you want to know? =)
Just been doing a blog catch up, CONGRATS!!!!
