Part 1: Wish me Luck
I love my job and would happily do it for free. Well actually there have been many times over the last few years when it almost has been but knowing it was a for a higher purpose, made it a no brainer. Should I make these 400 macarons for a new up and coming designer for her after party at the Spring/Summer Fashion Show?. Should I make them for free in return for advertising and inclusion in the “Goody Bags”?? Sure why not…...I have nothing better to do with my time, whilst ...
Part 2: Stay tuned to see what really happened.........

Part 5: The Final Chapter - The Meltdown .......
So this is the end of the disasters ( I hope) Fingers crossed or new brain wiring crossed? Either way I hope this is the last we see of the neverending story :)) Ahhhh Kiama. Sleepy little hollow, here I come. With the pick and delivery of the forgotten concert tickets organised and the 2 wedding cakes done and dusted, I found myself finally relaxing a little ….. Yes, just a little :) My family don’t really understand how any of us Mum’s can relax when we are all toget...
