GBBO sweeeeet stop motion ad

Some people get highly emotional around, what I believe to be, trivial things such as Uber changing their logo, Brangelina breaking up, or in this case, programmes moving to other channels.

This is why Great British Bake Off's new trailer ad has been met with some mixed reviews; because passionate BBC-apostles are outraged that the show will be on Channel 4 and not feature the beloved Mary Berry, Mel nor Sue.

But I LOVE IT.

I'm not usually into twee, overly cute or British things, but this ad has just enough edge to win me over.....

A doughnut vomiting jam on a tart? Love it.

Haunted? This is literally a dream for me.

Here are some fun facts about this ad:

- This is the first time an entire ad has animated out of baked goods.
- 335 baked character were created for the ad
- 500 eggs were used
- 28kg of sugar
- 50kg of flour

A nice short and sweet post from me tonight, because really just an opportunity to show off ONCE AGAIN my winning show-stopper cake from my work bake-off last year.
I'll let you soak this in....

The most effort I've ever put into anything in my entire life.

Self-promotional Charity

So, the Ice Bucket challenge. I'm sure we all have our own feelings about it. exactly. In my opinion, this year has been a bit of a charity showcase what with the "no make up" and "cock in a sock" selfies. Social media is a great way of raising awareness, however you have to admit that along with the do-gooding, there is an egotistical, attention-seeking element to it - just like everything else that gets posted on a social media site This kind of self-promotion charity works so well and is fantastic for raising awareness, but a reported half of Brits who did the Ice Bucket Challenge did not donate to the ALS charity.... this is my surprised face And now with news coming out that out of $10million raised, only an apparent 14% goes towards the fundraising, everyone is acting shocked like this is BRAND NEW INFORMATION! Come on, every charity has staff, overheads, admin bills - if you have a problem with it (those who actually donate), then why don...

Disney's top hottest males

If you are new to my blog, I feel I must clarify that this is my first post of this... variety. I usually talk about ads or marketing or amazing things I've done, but a recent conversation about how hot Simba from the Lion King was, sparked a lot of thinking on my part about attractive animated characters. So much so, that I felt compelled to share my conclusions with you. So, in no particular order and subject to change, here goes... 1. Simba - Lion King Quoting my friend from the aforementioned conversation, 'I think it's his hair; it's all messy and sexy.' So, could it be the tousled hair that makes Simba so irresistible? Is it his playful smile? Or perhaps his goal-orientated nature and eagerness to be king? Whatever it is, he is one hot cub. *NB. Simba's hotness is strictly confined to his childhood years. When he walks over that log and sings himself into adulthood he loses all appeal.  2. Prince Eric - The Little Mermaid D...

Facebook Funnies

My last few posts have been pretty text-heavy, so i thought I'd provide some light relief with some photos that are on some of my favourite Facebook groups. I don't really like to join Facebook groups, I find that you're always bombarded with notifications and your newsfeed looks a mess (I like mine to look neat and aesthetically pleasing). Badly Stuffed Animals: Dog shaming: (this is actually a tumblr/website, but just had to share) Embarrassing Nightclub Photo of the Week: I'm a Creative:
