Silly  Methods of Musical Transport:

  1. Boat Bass

    Paddling to a gig in a fibreglass double bass. Apparently someone used to make fibreglass double basses in Salcombe, and they were perfectly fine if you used the body of the bass as a boat.

  2. Walking/Weightlifting

    Walking back from a gig with a very, very heavy keyboard because me and H had missed the last bus home and the taxi companies weren’t answering!

  3. Gigs on Transport!

    I have played a few jazz gigs on a ferry. We had to connect the keyboard up to a car battery for power and it was strange playing at any tempo that didn’t match the whirring of the engine, but it worked.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Dalek Cupcakes

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Dalek Extermi-cakes surrounding TARDIS.

These extermi-cakes were made by my mum and sister for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary and I thought someone might want to use the idea for a themed birthday party. They’re quite straight forward to make, so I hope you enjoy having a go!

 

 

Dalek cakes made using:

  • Chocolate buns (made with death-by-chocolate recipe)
  • Chocolate icing
  • Mini Smarties
  • Yorkie giant chocolate buttons
  • Buttercream icing
  • Straws (for the eye stalk)
