My royal wedding highlights:
- Layered cupcakes in jars, each offered up with one of my UK souvenir spoons.
- Gin & cucumber.
- The bride’s fantastic lace sleeved dress that channeled Grace Kelly.
- Looking up Chelsy’s outfit online and declaring her unfit for public consumption.
- THAT hat! (Although, I suppose if you are seated behind the queen, you must turn to extreme measures.)
- Cute double kiss action.
- Waving to the crowd 101. It’s from the wrist, not the elbow.
We had so much fun. In the end there was about 20 of us in my lounge, huddled around a small TV. Looks like I’ll have to stay home tonight, I am exhausted from all the festivities!
In preparation for the Royal Wedding TV Special, tonight I’ll be making elegant cupcakes in a jar (red and blue cake, with white icing) – oh and a banana cake for luck. There’s no time, sadly, to knit my own corgi. Super cute.

I’ve mentioned a few times before that my friend Tessa is a talented print designer, but it turns out she is also an incredibly talented CAKE maker. She fronted up to my recent house party with a magical narhwal cake. It features a blue jelly ocean, with chocolate fish swimming in it, crocodiles circling the outer ring, a hokey pokey iceberg, and two narwhals (which were individual cakes). Oh and the kicker? Once you cut a slice it was revealed to be a rainbow cake inside!
I have a narwhal tattoo emblazoned across my left gun, which I like to think served as the inspiration. Tessa says she wanted to “smash together the idea of a ‘pool party’ and ‘under the ocean’ensemble, with a nod to the traditional unicorn/rainbow combination.”
It was delicious as well as pretty. Thank you so much Tessa!
