I had the pleasure of making my granddaughters first birthday cake for her party today. Daisy’s are my favourite flower and do make this cake for Sofia was so much fun. The day was lovely with all the family and friends there. Sofia loved her cake too 🎂
The cake was a @funkybatter Lemon cake with battercream icing. I must say, Lemon is my absolute favourite flavour. It started off rocky as I have somehow Iost a lot of my cake tools. After baking Elizabeth and Billy’s wedding cake they have just gone!! We tore the house apart looking for them but they are just not here. Getting the cake level on the top was super hard but I got there in the end. It all worked out fine - in the end

First real weigh-in after two months, and it’s back to business! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster—up, down, up, down—but here we are, down 300g. I’ve watched the daily and weekly fluctuations without much change, but honestly, it could have been much worse. With birthdays, weddings, stress, outings, and plenty of food, I’m happy to take that 300g loss as a win!

When asked by Elizabeth and Billy to make their Wedding Cake I felt so privileged. What an honour.
Meticulous planning for just the right size without too much was the task at hand. Flavour choices were made. Vanilla cake with @lotusbiscoffus centre and dark chocolate shavings of @kokoblackchocolate
Of course the main source was @funkybatter amazing recipes for the cake and battercream. Honestly they are THE BEST recipes. The cake would not have survived the trip to Torquay had it not been made in these. The battercream held up perfectly in 28 degree heat. 👌🏼
The cake topper by @eventstobeau was perfection. Just was the couple wanted. Simple and elegant. It arrived beautifully packaged and it will be something they can treasure in a frame. Highly recommended
Everyone loved the cake especially the bride and groom 👰♀️ 🤵

The Wedding of Elizabeth & Billy Watts. What a wonderful day it was in Torquay. A stunning bride and handsome groom and the most adorable flower girl Ivy. It was a magical day. 🫶
Eternally thankful to Paul and @leonie.quinn for sharing their beautiful home to make the day spectacular. Leonie - your event planning was perfection ♥️

I had the absolute joy of making a little 3-year-old very happy with his Cars-themed cake! 🚗🎂
Happy birthday, Xavier!
This one was a delicious @funkybatter red velvet cake with caramel layers and decorative buttercream. Seriously, where would I be without these amazing recipes? ❤️✨

Dinner tonight was an absolute winner—just 8 WW points and worth every bite! I came across this recipe while doom-scrolling one night and thought, YUM! So, I gave it a go with a few tweaks—swapped in light cream and used only 2 teaspoons of butter instead of tablespoons. It probably would have been even creamier, but honestly, it was plenty creamy for me! Super delicious, quick (only 30 minutes to cook!), and definitely one I’ll be making again. Total win! Recipe in photos and sorry I can’t credit anyone for it. I didn’t get that part.
I know I’ve been a bit MIA lately—sorry about that! Life has been non-stop with work deadlines and my daughter’s wedding coming up in just over three weeks. Meal planning and prep have gone out the window, and it’s been all about quick meals and eating out.
On top of that, I’ve got a lot of baking ahead:
🎂 A Cars-themed cake for a 3rd birthday
🎂 My daughter’s wedding cake
🎂 A birthday cake for the same day
🎂 A 1st birthday cake for my granddaughter
🎂 Another 1st birthday cake for a friend’s son
It’s full steam ahead in the kitchen! Wish me luck!

I saw this and thought it was very appropriate no matter what path you are on. Family, relationships, work, weightloss or just because 😏
My big thing has always been - take a step back and BREATHE!!

Wishing Billy the happiest of 30th birthdays. Billy, as you step into your 30th year, this year sure to be filled with amazing milestone moments (wedding) and endless happiness—we want to wish you the happiest of birthdays for Tuesday.
With everyone for dinner we had butter chicken by request and the trimmings.
Of course a cake had to be made and I created a @funkybatter Red Velvet Chocolate cake with @funkybatter vanilla battercream. Layers incorporated @kokoblackchocolate milk shavings and of course, a Playstation theme to suit the boy inside. The birthday boy was very happy 😃

Dinner tonight was a total winner—only 6 WW Points and super satisfying! A perfect healthy meal 🍽️
Crispy flathead fillets, lightly dusted with flour and seasoning, shallow pan-fried to perfection. Paired with crunchy air-fried chips and a fresh, vibrant salad made from lettuce, cucumber, homegrown tomatoes, chickpeas, and avocado.
The finishing touch? A drizzle of our favorite @fustinisholland balsamic vinaigrette, brought back from Michigan by the kids each year. It’s so good we use it sparingly, but it absolutely makes the meal!

Air Fryer Salmon Bites by @lifemadesweeter
2 WW Points plus whatever you put them with. I paired it with Nasi Goreng rice - 7 points
Crunchy, tasty, juicy and irresistible - my favourite way to have salmon these days. 10 minute cook and you’re eating a beautifully cooked salmon.
For the salmon
4 salmon fillet , thickest cut if possible, skin removed, cut into equal-sized cubes (about 1-inch)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground ginger
kosher salt or sea salt , to taste
cracked black pepper , to taste
For the sauce
1/4 cup coconut aminos , you can also sub with gluten-free tamari or low-sodium soy sauce if you’re not gluten-free.
3 tbsp honey , you can also use maple syrup or any other sticky liquid sweetener of your choice (for a lower sugar or lower carb option, you can opt for sugar-free maple syrup or allulose etc.)
1 tsp sesame oil
1-2 tsp Sriracha , or preferred hot sauce, to taste or omit if you’re sensitive to spice
1 tsp rice wine vinegar or 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
I serve this with rice. Sometimes plain, sometimes Nasi Goreng. All dependant on the mood of the cook 😝

First day back at WW workshops, and can I just say: “I’M THRILLED!” Coach Carol and the girls are like a walking pep rally—they’ve got enough enthusiasm to power a small country. The vibe? Immaculate. You can’t help but think, “I GOT THIS!” And honestly, they make you believe it. They’re like your personal cheer squad, dishing out support and purpose like it’s their superpower. Love my workshop? Understatement of the year.
This is exactly why I’m turning my house into a full-blown powerhouse! For all the folks who skip workshops for whatever reason (non WW members, schedule conflicts, the allure of sweatpants, or just pure rebellion), I’ve got you covered. Because let’s face it - Together We Thrive isn’t just a slogan; it’s a way of life. 🏠💪🍎 https://thethermocouple.com.au/together-we-thrive/
This week’s victory: down 400g! 💃 No exercise yet (oops), but hey, baby steps, right? I’ll get there—I can feel it. Here’s to more wins, less weight, and maybe even finding my walking shoes someday! 🏃♀️✨

Tonight’s dinner hit the spot on this hot Melbourne day—a refreshing prawn and tuna salad packed with all the good stuff! I went all out with the toppings: creamy avocado, perfectly boiled eggs, crunchy carrots, sweet corn, tender chickpeas, crisp cucumber, and a sprinkle of salty feta.
It was a vibrant, satisfying meal that didn’t just taste amazing but also felt light and healthy. The best part? It was only 3 WW Points, making it a guilt-free and diet friendly.
