I've gone nuts over strawberries this week - baking strawberry cupcakes and another strawberry ruffle cake consecutively this Tues and Wed. It makes me really happy whenever something new turns out well; and I'd have all sorts of ideas about selling them. Seems like I may actually be getting somewhere, as 3 little orders have come in the past week or two - and these were orders for the more recent creations. There is rather little to be earned from making these cakes though - and so for now it still seems like a pretty wise decision to go look for a job soon :)

I've also made some progress with my volunteering - the Children's Society volunteer role was no longer available by the time I went down for an observation session on Monday, but there seems to be another more suitable opening for me elsewhere. My first session with some Autistic youths at the St Andrews Autism Centre (it was a clay-molding workshop) went quite well; and I will probably continue to volunteer again next week. I seem to be quite drawn to the world of autism; perhaps because I am mildly "autistic" at heart - OK to be doing my own thing; and once upon a time, having to socialise and talk to people was a huge disincentive. :P
