Baby shower presents for a friend

I've got a friend's baby shower to go to tomorrow afternoon, so I thought I would make her a selection of wee things for her little boy (first baby) who's due to be born in May.

A taggy blanket, polarfleece one side, and cotton the other side

two towelling backed bibs

three merino hats

a change mat (with waterproof fabric inside it) to match the taggy

All ready to wrap and go!

I've been baking

I like to try new recipes, I'm brave like that. Sometimes, they don't turn out very well.

On Saturday, my parents were coming over for dinner and I was trying to figure out what to make for dessert, and came across this recipe for Orange Syrup Cakes in a book I've got at home.
For some reason, my book at home said 1/2 cup of mixture, in muffin tins (then I read after I'd put them in the oven, that the muffin tins should hold 1 cup when full - that's not correct!)... so I did as it said, my cakes flowed over the edges, and were a mammoth mission to remove from the tin!

That aside, they didn't turn out toooo badly, and they tasted amazing, with lightly whipped sweetened cream on the side, they were delicious.
