Friday afternoon found me busy making a luscious, decadent, organic, rich dark chocolate cake for my friend’s 50th birthday
I was just in the middle of piping melted chocolate into lace sails when my phone rang…
It was someone from Nuffnang to tell me I’d won the Christmas Blogger Challenge with my blog post entry (Making Decisions in Seven Easy Steps).
I started screaming and jumping around frantically (as you do)
I managed to get dark chocolate all over the place (as you do), the poor woman on the other end of the phone probably got a burst eardrum (sorry about that), I was so excited to actually WIN something big.
So a massive thank you to Nuffnang for holding the competition, and for being so awesome in general. I really had a great time making my entry, it was lots of fun :) and I can’t wait for my iPad to arrive; I’ll definitely let you all know when it gets here!
Oh, and as for the chocolate cake…
It was a huge success, despite the distraction

thanks everyone! I'm really excited, even more so because I really tried to win this, it wasn't like I bought a lottery ticket and got lucky.
ReplyDeleteand apparently the cake went down very well (Littletree got sick so I had to leave the party early and never got to see it cut or anything). I'll gladly make something similar for any of my friends turning 50 ;P
