Madame Tussauds

 On the 9th of April, me and my sister visited London for the day to do something that we have always wanted to do and that has been on our bucket lists for a long long time, and that was to visit Madame Tussaud's to see all the wax figures of celebrities like Britney Spears, Emma Watson.
Will.i.am etc.
Despite waking up early to get the coach on time, sleeping on the coach and getting over the travel sickness, we made it to London Victoria. Once we got out of the coach station, we had the long walk up to Madame Tussauds, which not going to lie KILLED my legs. 
Now for anyone who hasn't gone to Madame Tussaud's, it's a place where you MUST go! When you first enter the building, you walk up some stairs which leads you to some lifts, once you enter the lift, your journey in Madame Tussaud's begins....
On tip,  make sure you have enough time to go round Madame Tussaud's which takes 2-3 hours  but if you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, then head to baker street and visit the house of the making of Sherlock Holmes, unfortunately me and my sister didn't have time to do but it looked amazing.

Life Update - Cake decorating

Since 2016, I started baking every weekend, Each bake I did I got more passionate for it so I looked into Cake Decorating,as I wanted to do still bake but I wanted to try something new. I've always wanted to get into cake decorating ever since I watched 'The Perfect Man' with the actress  Hilary Duff, that movie is about a single mum raising two children, and her eldest daughter played by Hilary Duff, sets her mum up with Hilary's characters best friends uncle, In the movie the single mum is a cake decorator, which really inspired me in what I would love to do one day. I never did anything about it though as I just focused on my art whilst at college but since leaving my job recently, I have realised that Cake decorating is what I would love to do. I am  inspired everyday by what I see other people do in magazines and on YouTube.

 The best cake decorating YouTuber I watch to get inspiration is  Yolanda Gampp,she is an Canadian Cake Maker,here is her YouTube account: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvM1hVcRJmVWDtATYarC0KA

                     My first bake was a chocolate loaf from Tanya Bakes by Tanya Burr. 
            Which turned out like this: 

           Since then I've been baking more and more, here are few of my other bakes I have done.


**************
So this coming April, I am attending a Cake Decorating course which I am very excited about, and I am also doing my first ever wedding cupcakes for friends for their wedding in September which is also very exciting. Hopefully it can lead somewhere but I know its going to be an slow progress but it's worth it as I'm enjoying learning so much.
