Weekend inspo

This is both a super busy and laid back weekend... translation I have HEAPS to do and no energy to do it after a massive working week.

Here's just a little list of some fun stuff ideas I've found on my journey through the web this week:
A cool personalised letter from Santa
Felt baubles
Super cute felt ornaments
Cookies for Santa in a jar
Awesome for Christmas at the beach

Oh and you could argue it's not Christmasy but hey IT'S CHOCOLATE!
...here is a recipe for this cake...
which,
was,
AWESOME!
Seriously I am a baker but not a baking eater... but we ate this in like 2 days between us. By the time I went to take the photo this was all that was left!
Dana's Chocolate Cake
1 2/3C flour
1 1/2tsp baking soda
1 1/2C sugar
2/3C cocoa
1tsp salt
1 1/2C trim milk
100g butter
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla essence

Icing/Filling
100g butter
250g icing sugar
1/3C cocoa
milk to mix
1tsp vanilla essence

Preheat oven to 180'C. Grease 20cm loose bottom cake tin. Put all main ingredients in the processor and mix. Pour into the tin.
Bake for at least 50minutes. The cake will rise a lot when cooked the center will bounce back and a skewer will come out clean.
To make the filling and icing place the butter and dry ingredients in the processor. Pulse to combine any small amounts of milk til the mix is thickish soft and spreadable. Add the vanilla essence.
Slice the cake in half horizontally and spread on the filling. Place the top on and ice the cake.
