The Cake

So it was Black Nerds Birthday a couple of weeks ago and it has now become a tradition that BnnGirls bake him a cake. Last year we were inspired by Tatty Devine and all things musical.

This year we were inspired by Afrikanism our Fela tribute and Chris Ofili's exhibition at the Tate

The Great BnnGirls Birthday Getaway

It was BnnGirls Birthday last Monday, so we decided to escape to Almeria Spain to stay with Family.

We arrived on the 24th and could not believe 40° heat that hit us as we came of the plane and this was around 5pm. We unpacked and drank our favorite Spanish drink...........

Tinto de Verano.


Then came the drought, From 8 o clock pm Thursday till Sunday we had no water. We later found out the cause was a massive fire and all the water had to be diverted to put it out. Thank goodness for the pool.

Bake Me A Cake

Last week Tuesday Mr BlackNerd celebrated his Birthday, so the girls baked him a cake and decorated it to.

The decoration was inspired by his love for music and our love for Tatty Devine. The cake is a Black Cake (Caribbean fruit cake soaked with Rum)
