Iced Cake Parlour
Having lived in Maesteg for over 10 years, it was safe to say that the town didn't exactly offer it's share of cute little cafes for catch ups with your friends where you could gorge on cake to your hearts content. So you can imagine my delight when I heard about the little gem that is Iced Cake Parlour opening its doors earlier this year. Although I moved to Cardiff three years ago, I'm still the best of friends with the girls I went to school with and we often have our food dates and catch ups whenever we can. They usually venture down to Cardiff because, obviously there's more choices available, but in this instance I absolutely insisted that I come up to Maesteg for a change purely so I could sample Iced Cake Parlour.

Denim Jacket- Vintage // Shirt- Boohoo // Trousers- And Other Stories // Brooch & Bag- Charity Shop
My friend Ben's the new owner of a fabulously swanky camera, so we ventured out to Roath Park a few weeks ago to test out his new favourite toy. Amidst the array of swan and duck shots, he took these quick snaps of me where I tried to act nonchalant (and failed miserably at that).
I threw on this outfit primarily because I absolutely love these striped trousers from And Other Stories, but I just don't show them enough love. I committed to lighter, neutral tones when I paired them up with everything else to achieve a more Summery, laid back look. At this point, I should highlight that my feet are no where to be seen because I was in the process of breaking into my new sandals and my feet were pretty much covered in blisters. Lovely, I know!

Courgette and Lime Cake
Happy Tuesday! So for every other Sunday, I have the honour of baking a sweet treat for the cafe in my church which is great because not only am I contributing to the church itself by doing my little part, but this opportunity allows me to explore and experiment with new recipes.
My first experience of indulging on a courgette cake was back in Uni when my housemate baked a lovely batch that was also GF if I remember correctly. Similarly to carrot cake, I didn't exactly warm to the idea of a courgette cake at first but the bursts of the zesty lime truly ties this whole thing together so wonderfully.
I pretty much committed to this recipe from All Recipes but I have slightly altered it, so keep reading if you want to follow mine instead. Wink wink!
