Holiday come and gone

Well the Easter hols have almost finished, as per usual mine never seems to be a holiday only cooking and cleaning and cleaning and cooking and kids at each others throats sreaming and shouting.............can't wait till they go back to school and I get get my days back for me, myself and I !!!!.

Yesterday I tried baking my very first CUPCAKE with a lemon frosted topping, must admit for a first try it wasn't that bad, I baked 20 and by early evening there wasn't one left, luckily I managed to photograph the last remaining ones to show here, only problem while I went to get the camera I left the cakes outside and as it was a hot day the frosting started to melt!!!!!

I have fallen in love with the faux cupcakes and cakes etc, I have found some wonderful sites in the USA and Australia, also on e-bay only problem ............the American postage rates are so high, to send something that more or less weighs 9oz, shipping ranges between $17.00 - $27.00. Just doesn't seem fair that so many people, sellers and buyers alike are being penalized............oh and in May the American postage rates are going up again !!!!!!!!!! Only problem here in Italy is many a time a lot of items don't arrive they just vanish into thin air...would love to know where they are going...........I've had a few items that have never arrived, also a lot of buyers don't send anymore to Italy due to too many lost items.
