Each year I set myself a list of goals, almost like a list of new years resolutions only instead of the usual lose weight, be healthy and so on, my list is full of things I want to try, things I want to learn and things I want to challenge myself with.  So this year I thought I would try out cake decorating... but not only did I try it out I began to learn a LOT and challenge myself even more.  And to be honest I am completely obsessed with cake decorating now, I just can't get it out of my head.  Weeks where I find no time to bake I crave the cake flavoured air particles that swirl up my nostrils and the off cuts of decadent mud cake and ganache that pamper my tastebuds... shhh don't tell my personal trainer!!

I started my cake decorating journey with an evening class at the local TAFE and this gave me a good taste for all the possibilities fondant presents. It was a fairly basic class but afterwards I was keen to try and make my best friend a cake for her baby shower and to be honest I had no idea what I was doing and started with a cake idea with a load of skills I hadn't learnt before... and after lots of research and planning it turned out ok and my BFF loved it (and couldn't cut it at the party hehehe).  But it was definitely far from perfect so don't judge me, I'm just a girl on an experimental journey really and I'm loving every moment of it.

So now I am continuing on my cake decorating journey and challenging myself each time and learning some fabulous tips and techniques along the way from cake decorating legends.  

Well hello there my friend!

My name is Felicity, but I am also known as Flick, Fifi, GG (by my loving mum> GG= gorgeous girl), Fliss, Fizz, Spud and… drumroll… Flotsy Lotsy (yep another affectionate name my mum has for me).

I was named by the nurses at the maternity ward as my parents couldn’t agree on a name… lucky for me Felicity means happiness!  When your name means happiness you have a lot to live up to everyday, so join me here on my journey to happiness.  There are a lot of things that make me happy but mostly my happiness comes from creativity and hence The Happinest was born…
