Have you seen the new “Australian Baby Guide” out on the shelves?

It’s the new name for The Nappy Bag Book, and is now on sale through book retailers nationally including Target, Big W, Borders, Collins,
A & R, National Pharmacies and independent bookstores.

It probably would have grabbed your attention as it did for one of our customers who phoned us from the checkout at Big W to say they had seen it, and wow what a beautiful pic on the cover…it must be our work!

Yes, a Lifeworks Photography image was selected for the front Cover. One of our gorgeous baby stars, Joshua.

We also have a “guitar hero” Wes on page514, and Julie’s very own cute as a button, Amelia the “Party girl” cake eater on pg556.

The Australian Baby Guide is a one-stop book and website brimming with expert advice, reassuring parent-to-parent tips and tales and featuring the most comprehensive Resources section of products and services published in Australia. Kaz Cooke has described it as a “mumburger with the lot”.

On Easter Saturday Susie Latham from Lifeworks Photography was married to her beau Wayne Roberts.

A gorgeous bride, a handsome groom, beautiful sunshine, a picturesque setting…..and where are the guests…..oops, a wrong address, a small delay of the ceremony but still we all managed to get there in time to see a radiant and very beautiful bride walk up the leafy garden aisle.

A fabulously gourmet reception followed at Glen Harrow Guest House, Belgrave.

Susie and Wayne are currently soaking up the tropical sun, but I am sure she cannot wait to be back at Lifeworks next week!

Melissa’s Boiled Chocolate Cake - “Easter Muffin Recipe”

• 1 cup water
• 1½ cups caster sugar
• 125gms butter
• 2 tbsp cocoa (good quality produces a nicer cake)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 ½ cups SR flour - sifted
• 2 eggs

I am too impatient to wait for it to cool by itself and so I sit the saucepan in the kitchen sink filled with cold water to speed up the process.

When cool – with handheld electric beaters mix in the sifted flour till well combined – then beat in the eggs one at a time.

This mix can be made into a large cake in either a round or square tin lined with baking apper – cook at 170 degrees (160 degrees fan forced) for approx 40 minutes (depending on your oven) – check with a skewer and adjust cooking time accordingly. 

I also use it to make cupcakes – Cup cakes are cooked for approx 13 minutes (check after this time-should spring to the touch) – only 2/3 fill the cupcake paper.

This is a moist almost fudgy cake that is just so easy to make.  My mum always made this cake for all our birthdays and is a treasured family favourite.  The best thing is that it can all be prepared in one saucepan which saves on washing up – what’s not to love!

Melisa was is again today & of course the theme was “Easter”. These muffins are mouth watering & the decorations speak for themselves!

Recipe not yet received … however the picture is enough to inspire.

On Saturday 4^th April, Susie, one of the Lifeworks girls celebrated her Hens Night with a “Life Drawing Class” and Cocktails with her friends in Prahran. As you can see all the Lifeworks team had a great night and we greatly look forward to her Wedding on Easter Saturday….stay tuned.

On 1st April, Lisa (a big fan of music) attended a slideshow by World Famous Rock’n'Roll photographer “Tony Mott”.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable night full on inspiration, backstage stories and exciting location shoots.

All in all, a great night out. Tony’s book “Every picture tells a story” can be purchased through www.tonymott.com.
