Best thing since sliced bread

I’m so not a fan of a plain old sammich with jam or similar..booooring. But a cakewich, now you’re talking!

Cool cake pan from those crazy folks at Fred. Bakes your cake to look like sliced bread. Just fill with some yummy icing.

Now imagine unwrapping that for your lunch at work! (we probably don’t recommend actually substituting your regular sammich with a cakewich..not everyday anyway)
Another nifty item in their new range are these cut tea cupcake moulds.

Yay! That’s Noice turns one!

Happy birthday to us!

A year ago, a Noice web site started up. Full of Noice things. Like the iPad made out of tampons, Christmas trees that are kitteh-safe and pint-sized piggies.

Oh, and then there are all the cupcake posts we’ve posted so far. And let’s not forget our Aussie cupcake bakery directory.

We can’t believe it’s been a year of Noice things already!

To celebrate, we made some custom cupcake toppers:

They’re based on Likey Design’s tutorial:

But we used flower wire instead, due to Sydney’s great lollipop stick shortage. Oh, and double-sided tape because I’m scared of using a hot glue gun:

Thanks to all our Noice friends for supporting us in our first year. Here’s to a second year of Noice-ness!

Coffees a hoot

I just LOVE this super cute owl and birdie range from Target, the colours and design are great. Perfect for the cooler weather coming up to sip your coffee and soup from, no?

There are egg cups, bowl and spoon, cup and coaster/lid and my fav the coffee mug with lid. It just so happens they are 20% off starting Thursday, I will be getting myself a few ;)

Anatomical heart locket

Something like this would be a nifty gift idea for the medical worker in your life. Or fans of Gregory House!

heart-necklace

Mmm, Gregory House porn (don’t worry, it’s safe for work).

heart-necklace

These anatomically-correct heart lockets are the creation of Chicago’s Peggy Skamp.

Update: Eagle-eyed That’s Noice fan @rebeccamurphy has let us know that the lockets are available to Aussies through Etsy! Just don’t choke at the price tag…

Pancake Day

pancakeIt’s Pancake Day….Shrove Tuesday or something.

All I know is, it’s an excuse to eat Pancakes for dinner!

This is my favourite Pancake recipe, for Buttermilk pancakes, they are THE best aren’t they.

Up until about 6mths ago we were making crap pancakes from a bottle..OMG so many years wasted!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Sift all your dry bits. Make a well in the centre. Stir in all your wet bits until just combined.

Surely you all know how to make pancakes and don’t need any further instructions.

My FAV way to eat them is with caramel/dulche de leche.

You can make your own, if you are game by boiling cans of condensed milk in a big saucepan for about 3hrs. Make sure the cans always remain fully covered. Or you can by it already done, Top ‘n’ Fill, you’ll find in near the cake mixes.

So, how do you have your pancakes?
