Red Star Gingerbird.

bird cookie-cutter by biskart

I attempted my very first batch of gingerbread today using a recipe from Taste.com.au - let's just say, after a lot of kitchen mess and red-food-dye-washing-up-water... the end result is just above okay. (So tough on myself!)
They taste fine, but I prefer gingerbread to be a bit more spiced/ginger-ed, I think this recipe was "child-friendly" - so next time I'll be adding a bit more to the recipe.
I failed at the icing - I can never master icing - if anyone has a great recipe, please let me know - I ended up colouring some marzipan and using my mini-star cookie cutter, to patch up the terrible icing attempt.
At least I can now say - "I've made gingerbread before."
Might stick to fudge making though...ha!

Never Too Early.

We Pinched A French-Canadian.

This is Pamela.
Pamela has some awesome photographic skills and oh-so killer looks.
Check out these shots she took of herself, by herself (!!!) of the goodies that she picked up from the That Vintage stall at Niche: All Wrapped Up last weekend.
How talented is she?!
Oh, and did I mention that she isn't a native here in Australia, but that she has flapped her wings from the land of the red and white maple leaf, Montreal to be exact (home to many wonderful photographers) to be here with her lover (and fiancee!) Andy, who is also a photographer!
Such a sweet story!

Thankyou to absolutely every single person who waded their way through the crowds of market-goers ...your support was and IS fantastic!
