For the last um, five years every single present I have sent dearest Dark Cloud has been late. Not just a bit late either. A lot late, like a month or two late. So imagine how exciting it was to talk to her the other day and hear that her birthday present had arrived early. I made a very strangely sized quilt. It's not big enough for a bed and too square even for a single bed but maybe good to wrap yourself in while you watch a movie. I don't make very many quilts but I really liked making this one. The black flowers fabric is one I bought years ago and could never use for fear of not having it anymore. Now I know it has a good home though and I can relax and hunt down more dream fabric. Not much of a struggle I'm afraid. Happy Birthday Dark Cloud Blue Sky!!
Arlo is two!! She seems like she's been two for ages now. Partly because it's easier to say she's 2 than to say she will be two in four months, and partly because she's the second child and she's way more advanced than Eden was at two. In any case, Arlo doesn't much like cake. She LOVES ice cream though so I decided to make an ice cream cake. Super yum.
Line a bowl with cling film and fill the bowl with ice cream. Bake a brownie while the ice cream sets up in the freezer. Cut the brownie into a circle to fit the opening of the bowl. Invert bowl of ice cream on top of the brownie and frost with 8oz chocolate melted with 1cup of whipping cream (cool the chocolate ganache completely before attempting to frost the ice cream!!) Promptly freeze again for at least three hours and then enjoy!!
