Bungalow - From Heritage To Contemporary

Growing up in New Zealand I wanted to live in one of those cute little villas you see in the Auckland suburbs of Ponsonby, however, when we were searching for the perfect do up, we ended up with a 1930's bungalow in a tree lined street in Mt Albert. Although it didn't have quite the same exterior charm as a villa, we found the interior more spacious and loved the built in features. The NZ bungalow is now the focus of a major new book about NZ bungalow architecture, 'Bungalow From Heritage to Contemporary', a stunning book I was keen to review.

Book Give-away - "Cake Star" by Jade Lipton

Last year I thoroughly enjoyed watching the popular TV show "New Zealand's Hottest Home Baker". On the show, one of the judges was Australian Jade Lipton, known for creating "CakeStar", a highly successful boutique cake business in Brisbane. Jade's fabulous cakes are highly regarded, Mercedes Benz, Audi and Australian Fashion Week are among her high profile customers, so I'm excited that Jade's publicist has kindly given me a copy of her new book "Cake Star" for one of my lucky readers to receive.

Packed with more than 25 spectacular and show-stopping cakes, cupcakes and cookie designs, all easily achievable by the home baker.  Jade's descriptive instructions and step-by-step photographs teach readers how to create her stylish and skillfully decorated cakes that are sure to impress.

Sneak Peek...
