CAKES AND WEDDINGS

Thought you deserved a change from my Amsterdam tulips (which I have now finished), so have a little story to tell you. For Christmas Anita (Davies the wonderful - http://artbyanita.blogspot.com ) bought me a Maruman accordian sketchbook and I have wanted to use it for something very, very special. Here's my plan: this summer (June in fact) Clive and I will be celebrating 50 years marriage together, so I have almost six months to create a book describing in sketches our life together using our wedding album to start with and then using family photos. What do you think??

My trouble is I'm not very good at figures and faces, so its going to be an enormous challenge. Because of that I thought I'd try out my first sketch in an old book that has lots of odds and ends sketched in it. Now I'm disappointed, as it turned out quite nice and I've got to redo it in the Maruman!!! Here I am signing the register:

That was the wedding part of the title of this post, and the cake half is the MALTESER CAKE RECIPE I am posting specially for lovely Margaret Ann ( http://waterblossoms.blogspot.com/ )so she can make a celebration cake for her mum who has just had major knee surgery and is doing well. Hope you pop into this post Margaret Ann , just in case your Google search didnt reveal anything useful.
