Christmas and Cupcakes...

Just one more post about my fleeting trip to the Uk...

I mean who wouldnt be excited by such a HUGE Christmas tree

and GIGANTUOS Christmas baubles

A trip to London is never complete

without a visit with one of my Besties, Steven!!!!

After a lovely lunch we headed over to The Humming Bird Bakery in Soho for some cupcakes.

My sister has their cookbook at home so i was pretty excited...

to be honest i wasn't all that impressed,

sure it was delicious,

but we got there at the end of the day and there were only 2 options of

cupcakes chocolate or vanilla....how dull!

I also begrudge spending so much on a cupcake....

i know its London and its a cupcakes are all hip and in at the moment...

but honestly,

give me a four pack of chocolate chip muffins

from Tesco's any day for 99p and i'd be happy...

A French Affair.....(with cake soup)

i went to my French friends birthday last night, and for no reason at all decided to go in disguise as a Frenchman to keep him company....as he doesnt know any other Frenchies here in Ljubljana.

It was alright though as during the evening a couple of others popped in for a few moments to say hello....

there was Monsieur Pierre, artist/detective extrordinaire...

and Madame Coco....the Can Can girl from down the road.

Here is my favourite gift that he recieved that night which i was jealous of and wanted to steal. It is a CD entitled '33 najlepse pesme o Tito' which roughly translates as 'the 33 most beautiful songs about Tito' (the former Communist Dictator of Yuogolslavia, R.I.P)

and of course there was cake....which was served with a ladel which i think technically makes it cake soup....
