Summer Ball

So as I said in yesterday's post, I had the University of Gloucestershire's Summer Ball to look forward to. It is now the afternoon after the night before and I'm a very tired little girl, but myself and Morwenna have managed to drag ourselves to the library. However, the work we have done so far may not be that productive, but as a friend once said 'doing little work is better than doing no work'.

Back to the Summer Ball, preparations started around 12 where we started on make-up, hair, nails and fake tan and we were ready in record time as we me, Wenna and Debs left the house at 13.30 to meet friends in the Exmouth Arms for a lunch to line the stomach. We had a mixture of steaks and ducks to eat and a few bottles of wine, we then went home to meet Melissa and touch up our make-up before heading to The Retreat for a glass of prosecco... In between all this eating and drinking we took about a zillian photos, some of which, I mean a select few of which I will post on here. We then went to another bar, Apres and then onto Copa, where we meet tons of people and finally onto our penultimate stop of Revs, where the majority of the students were... By this point, our feet are starting to hurt and one person had already stacked it.

We then got to Summer Ball, which was at Cheltenham Racecourse!! We went on Dodgems, Ferris Wheel, ate hot dogs and drank Magners and then finally Grimmy from Radio 1 arrived, then we saw Mikill Pane and lastly Professor Green and it was quite exciting because Lily Allen turned up!! It was incredible to say the least but it all got a bit much and little Kate, was a tired little Kate so I went home!! 

Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Life in the fast lane..

I have let myself down, I have neglected the blogosphere.

Update

University work is taking a full hold on my life, I don't even know what a social life is any more, how do I even get one?

Since I last blogged, I made another incredible cake for my little brother's 18th....

However, although it looks so fantastical and magical, my mum went to cut it and removed the ribbon..... Smarties and chocolate fingers EVERYWHERE. Although this sounds like a disaster, my cake was polished and no one in my family managed to get a slice. For those interested, this is just a basic cake recipe with chocolate butter icing (not too buttery) on the top and in the middle (made by Mum) and then I added the fingers around the outside, make 
sure you get yourself a helper or two (thanks Mum and Dad) and add a ribbon of your choice around the outside and then add as many normal sized and mini smarties as humanly possible. Try not to eat as you go along, save yourself for the actual cake and licking the bowl.

Happy 18th Adrian!!

And that's about it apart from working two jobs, completing a presentation, handing in a 4000 word group report, a 1500 word individual assignment and getting a hold on my dissertation. It is now the 10 day count now and to say i'm becoming excited is an understatement....

So today is a Saturday and I woke up at 8am and have been working on my dissertation, but actually today is also the Summer Ball day, so it will be so perfect having a night off.. Summer Ball is pretty much an all day event, starting around lunch time and ending in the early hours, when I have removed my heels and have my flip flops on, and all the make up I put on around lunch is pretty much gone but I can't wait. It takes place at Cheltenham Racecourse and there is a Ferris Wheel and Dodgems, there used to be a ride called the Swizzler, which is where I spent all night but they appear to not be using it, I guess Dodgems will do!!

And finally, the aim is to complete my dissertation by Tuesday with a few changes to make Wednesday and Thursday, then hand in Friday... Please cross all your fingers and toes for me!!

Our Muddy Piggy Cake

So Melissa and I wanted to make this cake !!!











Look at our pictures in the steps to completion and then ours turned out like that... Only took us 3 hours! And to be honest it looks amazing and it is a vanilla cake with pink icing in the middle.. YUM!

Anyone think we should open a bakery?!

If you are interested in the recipe, let me know and I'll send it your way!
