a shout out and HUGE congratulations...

to my home girl jas, who took out FIRST PLACE today at her work's baking challenge. Jas doesn't work just anywhere, guest judges included Jared Ingersoll founder of Danks St Depot, and Joanna Savill, editor of SMH's Good Living and the annual Good Food Guide.

She has promised to post some pictures up but i know already that she's whipped up something pretty special.

To tide you over until she knocks you over with her mean skills, i present to you, an orange + almond cake with a cream cheese frosting, dressed with pistachios, turkish delight and freeze dried strawberries. it looks like christmas :)
