How to: Rose Swirl Cake

I love baking. Mostly I enjoy baking cupcakes but occasionally I get asked to do a big cake or it's someone specials birthday coming up so I whip out the big guns and go all out! What started off as just a hobby and bringing cakes to friends houses with me has now become well still a hobby but I get friends (and friends of friends!) and family now asking me to bake for there special occasions too. I don't mind this at all as I find it therapeutic and although sometimes it can make my health worse it's nice to feel useful and that my health doesn't stop me from doing everything I used to be able to do.

Over the years I have tried many drug store budget friendly ones and subsequently the higher end salon professional sprays. I'm never sure which are better if I'm honest. My go to sprays have always been TIGI catwalk sleek mystique iron spray which I still love and Paul Mitchell heat seal spray, both of these are on the more expensive side at about £14 each.

Take a walk in the forest and smell the wild air

Last week I went on a little trip, a "staycation" if you will. We didn't want to go too far (what with my health but that's a whole different story!) and this place was about 2 hours away by car which was perfect. We have been on a forest holiday before to the same location and loved it so decided it was a good option for a relaxing get away for 4 nights.
