Marshmallows!

Making marshmallows was certainly quite a bizarre experience, seeing as i'd grown up just buying them. I never even considered that I might one day be able to make them! I have to say, after a first attempt, I was pretty happy with how they turned out, although I have to say, they are perhaps a little on the large side :) 

Champagne bottle cake

For another 21st, there comes an element of tradition to give something Champagne related, as one comes "Of age", so this cake seemed like a suitable suggestion. However much fun the marshmallows were to put on the cake to mimic ice, I cant imagine how they looked after being taken all the way to Southampton. Oh well, I hope it was enjoyed, regardless of its slightly out of the ordinary appearance :)
