But, we reckon we've managed it! This deliciously large slice of lemon cheesecake surely counts towards our 5-a-day fruit and veg intake doesn't it? Along with the strawberries, we think our 5-a-day is pretty much covered. Perhaps the ice-cream cancels a portion out...oh well, nearly there!

G'day mates! It's been forever we know. This is due to a re-location situation, how limb-snappingly exciting! We are now based in Sydney, where the sun shines more often and there is plenty of everything to witter about. Oh, how we've missed wittering to you. We shall start with an edible image, cake is big over here - brilliant. These delights are a selection from the cheesecake shop. Yuh hum...

We love our Mom. Especially when she takes us out for lunch. Check out the mini jars of sauce we received with our meals! We love jars (simple things...). Ours was the burger. bloody scrumptious! Only thing was, there was no room left for puddings until a good 45 minutes after - but we had already left the restaurant so yes, we had a little sulk. And Mom refused to let us permanently borrow one of the little jars. Moms are always right. Hmph.

Dear Vivienne Westwood,
Please can you stop creating such wonderful accessories for a while? We can simply not afford them all. This makes us frown, and what if the wind changes? What then?! You'd have our frown lines on your conscience. We love you anyway, sigh.

fayCurtains. More decorative or more functional? During a long breakfast of tea, toast and marmite we had time to stare at a pair of closed curtains. (Repeating this information back to ourselves is causing us to worry about our morning activities somewhat). Anyhow, the fabric was chintz at it's most glorious and complimented the overall colour scheme of the room impressively. However, they also kept the morning sun out of our squinty pre-tea eyes which was much appreciated. So, we can't decide which the curtains provide more of. It actually really doesn't matter, we are thinking out loud again which we have been warned about. And on that note we shall say cheerio for now...

But ours do have a shine and sparkle to them, and they don't make us think about sport - marvellous!
Aren't sequins wonderful? Making something quite plain into something that razzle dazzles. We were wondering today how the individual sequins must feel. They can never take all the credit for their sparkly shows, but always have to take it as a team - a beautiful, reflective family. We dont think we could sew just one sequin and leave it there alone. Not when we are fully aware of the potential giddiness and glee a gang of sequins has on us.
Maybe it's all they know, therefore they go through life happily sharing the praise together. However, maybe sometimes, they cry out to catch the light on their own. Who knows? Not us, hence the pondering. We did think though, if there is a missing sequin on a garment that should be covered in them, you can spot the dull patch almost immediately. Therefore, it shows how each individual one is extremely important and should be appreciated. So, next time your alone with something so twinkly and pretty due to it's abundance of sequins that you feel you have to profess your utter love/lust for it (is it just us that does this to things we really really like and or want?), why not mention how each one is individually very impressive. You know, just incase there is that one trying to loosen the thread to be on it's own.
This really hasn't meant to be a metaphor for people by the way. After reading it back it may come across that way but we hope it doesn't. For the record, we think some people are much better off away from others - the ones that don't deserve gleeful, sequin moments in their life. Are we being a little mean? Probably...sorry Mom! x

faySome people are like fireworks. They explode into your life, creating beautiful, entertaining displays. They make you excitedly smile and gasp. They light up your universe in the most colourful of ways and you come away from them glowing. Always a little sad to leave them, as the show is over, you know the next instalment will be just as wonderful if not more so than the last. And you love them because they are a special occassion. How lucky we are to have these fireworks in our lives.

We were given some of these delights a couple of weeks ago and meant to tell you sooner. But seriously, kids, eat these! You get a beautiful box filled with something so pretty, that for a second you question whether or not to devour them! But they're so delicious looking that you find yourself biting and smiling at the same time. Our eyes were enchanted, our taste-buds were elated and our stomach overjoyed. Thank you i love cake.

Ok so we've seen the tiny snippet of everyone's favourite Christmas advert for Coke! This to us means it's officially festive time! This sort of excitment makes steam shoot out our ears, steam containing miniture tinsel and bits of glitter. "Just hear those sleigh bells ringing and jing ting tingaling too, come on its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you!..."

Still feeling quite ropey here at fay-loves-cake, we have taken feeling sorry for ourselves to new levels. To cheer ourselves up we thought we would reminisce about our trip to Switzerland, and so turned to our notebook...
Switzerland is so, so beautiful. On every drive around the hairpin-bends of the mountains our eyes are filled up with trees, rivers and constant postcard-worthy scenery. There is nowhere to look that isn't picturesque! Even though Switzerland is an extremely clean, fresh place, it is not too regimented and retains bucket fulls of character. There is a depth to the landscape and a feeling of magic in the air due to the towering, fairytale trees and ominous looking rocks.
We did ponder as to where the little trolls and fairies that must reside in these magical lands were. We could only imagine that they creep out into the twilight to drink Swiss wine and dance around the Christmas-shaped trees! We have decided that they work throughout the night to build the wooden chalets that are sprinkled about the mountains.
Yes. We are quite taken with Switzerland. The best to way to descibe the drive into these mountainous regions is to say it's like opening a childrens pop-up book, where there is a strong theme, however each page is so intricately different.
There wasn't even snow on our visit, so we are desperate to go back when there is. Infact thinking about it makes us too excited...you know when your body goes all tense and you grit your teeth and your arms might snap off backwards at the elbow? - That sort of excited.
P.S...thank you L.M!

If you love what you wear because it reflects you, along with the little quirky touches that really really make it your attire, then keep on wearing it. There have been times where we at fay-loves-cake have been given suggestions to perhaps tone it down, change the colour of our tights or reduce the shineyness and sparkle. It has caused a sub-conscious effort to become a little more bland in order to please others. And of late, we feel this has caused unnecessary misery and frown lines. Basically kids, if somebody tells your clothes to pipe down a bit, then politely tell them to sod off and ignore everything they are saying. If what you wear is an extension of what is inside you then why on earth should you let another take bits away?! (we are still totally pro donor cards!).
Shiney silver moon boots were worn the other week and received plenty of praise and even in-depth discussions (thank you J.L) about their attributes and useful functions when travelling around the moon's surface. These are the ones we should be listening to, the ones who deserve to come in, sit down and drink tea from the posh china! We have decided to always take a moment to appreciate the choices made in regards to an outfit. Stick to those who enjoy what you choose to wear even if they dont like it, and to those who have style you could never pull-off but are a constant inspiration (D.P.M.S).
This rant was brought to you in a state of sleep, tea and cake deprivation. We are off to rectify the situation XXX

Has anybody noticed the similarity between summer flowers and café outdoor furniture? It rains most of spring, then the sun starts to win over more and more, and as if by magic - there are the flowers! And there are the pretty tables and chairs outside cafes, bars and restaurants. Each adorned with happy people enjoying the sunshine, sipping their drinks and nibbling their food. Just as decorative to the city streets as flowers in a garden in our eyes. Especially as peoples choice in colour and print on their clothing is much bolder in these warmer months.
As for the furniture itself, wrought iron or wicker are particular favourites. Put up like flower beds surrounding the buildings. I wonder if somebody planted them in winter? Just like the sound of busy bees in the garden, the hum of chatter and giggling is just as appealing when strolling past. I know it’s a big chain, but Café Rouge’s outdoor furniture is so pleasing, with it’s obviously Parisian - café culture themed aesthetics. It makes us want to sit and order a coffee and have a cigarette each time we walk past. And as a tea loving non-smokers this is quite a feat.
Maybe it is the individuals that decorate each chair that draws us in, we’re not sure. But after reading this we’re sure you’ll see what we’re babbling on about. Those sat alone particularly intrigue us, thinking and daydreaming to themselves. We are always on the look out for thoughts for our thought jam, but you have to be quick to catch them. They don’t often escape the persons mind but when they do, it’s a super quick shot for freedom. We’ve noticed that sometimes, those little thoughts wrap themselves up in steam from a hot drink or cigarette smoke in order to disguise themselves. Anyway, summer’s here so go and sit outside! Decorate the unattractive pavements with…yourself!
