Hi..My name is Shiza..

...and I'm a blog-aholic. 

I swear it's really like an addiction...i.just.cant.stop. I keep scrolling through people blogs with gorgeous ideas for events and parties and awesome little DIY projects that im just itching to do now. Once you start going through a blog you seriously just keep going its a like a downward spiral sooo many pretty pictures that total ignite you imagination and stimulate your creativity cells ( which up til now seemed like they were dying...slowly). And i keep telling my self to stop and get off the computer but i just cant i keep wanting to look and learn and drool over the coolness of it all...

I just want to throw as many parties as possible just so i can try out all the cool ideas and pretty themes...

on actual news misha will be here in less 6 hours...exciting stuff oh plus its Eid tomorrow so EID MUBARAK everyone :)

Release Me...

It has indeed been a considerable time since my last blog I would like to lie and say I've been super busy and haven't had a chance or say that I have nothing worth blogging about but that would, in fact, be entirely untrue. I've been to London, done a day trip to Oman, made some pretty large cakes on total short notice been photographing heaps been working super hard being prepared for a total career change, alright so not total change but I guess a slight change from the corporate graphic designing road dad was trying to oh so gently trying to shove me down. My mind is spinning with 101 art projects I want to do and get into but I know I wont inevitably wont be able to actually complete. 

My internet is currently not working so in the next blogs to come I will posts lots of photos and more details on the happenings of my life. This blog was more of look-Im-alive-and-I-haven't-abandoned-you kind of blog...

Please Sir I want some mOre-Places in Dubai

There's this artsy modern cafe that I had been dying to go for ages after months of wanting to go and two failed attempts of arriving after closing time. I finally got a chance to eat there, while I was a little worried that the place would come short of the self created hype and expections, but I was equally excited that I had finally managed to make it. mOre cafe is this trendy little place housing art-work of aspiring artists, so definitly appealing to my senses. The menu offers a vast eclectic mix of cuisine from accross the world; Italian, Thai, Indian and South African are just a few countries culinarily represented from around the world. The food was really nice and the service was great, we happened to go at an in-between-time where it was too late for lunch and too early for dinner so we were promptly served.  I was really impressed by the decor with artsy photography, to gorgeous paintings, art-nuvo popart meets antique furniture peices on display. They had a really attractive looking bakery in the corner which I couldn't resist...

Food: 7/10

Service: 9/10

Atmosphere: 9/10

Price: 7/10

aand....were back!

Right, so I am more than well aware on the total neglagence of blogging for what, a whole month now :<  I suppose I should have a great reason for making my prescence so sparse but i really dont it s agenuine equal mix of being really busy anf really lazy.

In anycase I have very little to report other than a hectic eid of back to back..to back orders not much happened at all...

I did go to Pakistan for a little while, around 2 weeks or so for a wedding which was well fun, I do have heaps of photos of places in Dubai that I want to put up and systematically I'll go through them all and upload them on here...

other than that and what seems like total excessive blogging (getting hooked on other peoples blogs and, clearly, not writing my own blogs) so much so if Kirstie was to look at my desktop at the moment she would be well proud by the sheer number of images i have clicked and dragged on there...after a quick select all and apple+i theres like 500 images overlapped all over each other:

Atlantis

I finally got a chance to check out the Atlantis Hotel, I got to ride on the monorail ride through the Palm Island, eat the best ice cream ever and see the Lost City of Atlantis Aquarium. It just so happens I'll be spending a night there tomorrow which I certainly am looking forward to. I'll get a chance to go the Aquaventure water park too which should be fun...

Here are some photos of the place:

Where the party people at

40 guests we entertained in the last few days

6  visits to the various malls in Dubai were made

2  aquariums we admired

1 trip on the monorail

4 batches of cupcakes

400 new photos

2 very very sore feet

That was my last few days, which needless to say were quite intense! We've had a constant stream of guests come visit us this last week. I has been fun though I got to finally see Atlantis and rode the monorail across the Palm Island and saw the aquarium in the hotel it was quite impressive they had done it as the lost city of atlantis so they had "ruins" all along the bottom of the tank. I was a little worried about the sheer number of marine life in such a tank . 

In the next few blogs I shall upload the photos of the various places...

Cherry Cherry Boom Boom

I was just randomly looking through others peoples blogs set up here on blogger.com and whilst some of them are really cool and interesting. There is a very large handful which are jut simply questionable...Like one persons blog is called "modern bathroom design" and its about just that a person just finds images of modern style bathroom and publishes them in their blog...and thats it. just lots n lots of modern bathrooms...I guess there is probably someone looking at my blog going..."Geez this person is  really obsessed with cupcakes"...And yes, yes I am...I'll be the last person to deny it but its not like my entire blog is about cupcakes theres more...Not much but there is more.. 

Oh I went to this cafe called More Cafe the other day Ive been wanting to go for ages but every time weve attempted to go weve always just arrived after closing hours...I shall review it up on my next blog....

Ill also do a review blog for Lime tree Cafe which I went to ages ago but just forgot post up the blog...

Oooh I also went on a Dhow cruise yesterday as well which was, aside for the whole dizzyness and motion-sickness and extreme heat, fun...I unfortunately didn't take my proper camera (which I greatly regretted afterwards) but I have my other camera on me ...I don't know how the photos turned out as I haven't uploaded them yet hopefully they're good if so I'll put those up too....

Looks like I have a bit of blogging to catch up on...

I was tagged in this gorgeous photo of my father with his mother on facebook...I instantly fell inlove it with it...my father got pretty nostaligic after seeing it as well..I think he missed his mother...

Although I did not take this photo myself (as it would, quite literally, be impossible) but i thought I'd make it the photo of the day cuz I liked it so much.

Sex & Candy

Recently my life seems to be revolving around a lot of cakes and cupcakes... ans seeing how this blog is about my life i thought id share those with you..I recently did an order for 60 cupcakes in a jungle theme which was particularly fun....

I have also realised that recently pretty much all my blogs revolve around cakes or cupcakes so I promise my next few blogs will be sugar free...

Photo of the Day ( the result of having spare cupcakes and lots of candy from the jungle cupcakes order left over)
