Thoughts from the mind of a serial crime writer

About Me
- Vanda Symon

- When I'm not writing Crime novels I'm busy working as a research fellow at the Va'a o Tautai - Center for Pacific Health in Dunedin, New Zealand. I am the author of the Sam Shephard detective series, published by Orenda Books - Overkill, The Ringmaster, Containment and Bound. I have also written the stand alone thriller Faceless. If I'm not writing or working, I can be found on the business end of a fencing foil.

That is amazing.
I remember looking through cake books when I was kid dreaming of having a cake, only to find out that I didn't like coconut and many of the decorations used it.
Ezri (my oldest) had her 5th yesterday. Disco theme. Stereotypical 5th b'day cake.

Quite a beautiful cake : ). Welcome, Vanda, to the Crime and Mystery Friendfeed network : ).
OMG. You really are a domestic deity!
What a fantastic cake! :-)
Your - or, Mr Ten-Year old's - cake is splendid, Vanda! It made me pang for the days when my own trio of offspring would put in their orders for their birthday cakes. We've moved through cats, tortoises, crocodiles and a hovercraft (to name a few!) to 'I'd love you to make a baked Viennese cheesecake, please, Ma?' All in a day (which is how short childhood seems in retrospect.)
L, C
I am heartened by those such as yourself who are a few years younger than moi. The talents of my mother's generation are beginning to reappear, and just as I had put them on the shelf saying to my arthritic fingers "rest you knobbly ones, rest". Lovely, lovely cake too - it looks alive. A memory that your boy will hold forever. I remember my mother's gift to me at his age - a pink hat!
I love doing the cakes. My Mum always used to make cook cakes for me. I remember in particular a fabulous ginger bread house she made. I'll have to have a go at one of those, perhaps a gingerbread Hogwarts.
