"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

You really can't go wrong with cupcakes!--especially if they're named after the faerie folk.

Fabulous photos and yummy creations. I love the simplicity of the jam icing. Sometimes oversweet icing takes away from the delciousness of the cake. xo m.

Hmm - hope you don't mind if I have one of these while I read your other posts ;-)!! As for gentleness, As you Faerwillow, wish for yourself, so I wish for you also... And remember to be gentle with yourself too. It helps when we need to be gentle with others.
