The people over at MoneySupermarket are offering bloggers the chance to experience one of those little win situations. Have you ever come to put on your summer coat to find £20 in the pocket - no me neither but it would be nice wouldn't it! Well this is what the lovely people at MoneySupermarket are liking it to! They have been contacting bloggers around the web and giving them £20 and basically having a nosey at what they would choose to spend it on.
When MoneySupermarket contacted me about joining in with this "little win" project then I knew straight away what I was going to spend my money on. This week one of the girls in our office retired and I had said I would make her a retirement cake. So as soon as they contacted me I decided to use this £20 to buy the things to make the cake with so off to Sainsburys I went.
Here you can see the bits I got with my £20, basically some items for making a cake, your usual flour, eggs, sugar etc as well as some icing and colours to make it look a bit funky.
And here is the finished cake...
Now I do make cakes so I already had some of the bits like some of the other colours I needed but I brought the bulk of what I needed with the £20. I am SO happy with how the cake turned out. If you cant tell, my friend likes gardening and now she is retired plans to spend her time going on cruises and doing some gardening to fill up part of her time hence the design. She absolutely loved the cake!!!
