Bitter Valentino

I’ve been told I’m a sweet sort of person, but when it comes to Valentine’s Day… Boy, am I bitter! And as hard as I try to ignore this cursed date, hearts suddenly appear everywhere and make it impossible to bury my head in the sand. The Daring Bakers were no exception this month, with a heart shaped chocolate Valentino cake.

The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.
We have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge.

Haagen-Dazs “Sets and the City”

A picture

Häagen-Dazs are celebrating the launch of a Summer special edition ice-cream with a Wimbledon Tennis Tournament tie-in in the heart of London City, complete with a giant screen to watch the matches, sexy model waiters, celebrity chef appearances, complimentary beauty treatments, and lots of yummy ice-cream.

With a wink to the glitz and glamour of the Sex and the City film coming out this summer, I finally had a chance to create some sexy illustrations for the temporary website that will be promoting this event. Even better, I was allowed to use great amounts of pink! Have to love this job!

I’m Carrie.

While indulging in luxurious desserts in a posh downtown ice-cream parlour, my three girl friends and I realised how much of a cliché we’re becoming, as we moaned about men and discussed which Sex in the City character each one of us most resembles.
