  • Phase Two- Get Bake'n!

    Hey lovely people! Phase two of my trade up challenge is now in motion!

    Tonight, with the help of a friend and a generous donation from our flat lemon tree, I have baked a 2 tiered lemon cake.

    To recap, last week I traded my $2 coin for cake ingredients which I used in the cake tonight. So tomorrow phase two will be trading slices of this baby!

    What I am after specifically is meat and vegetables/ dinner type ingredients which I could use to create a dinner and host a dinner party! Guests will then bring items to trade for the master peice dinner I create from the ingredients I receive from the traded cake.

    If anyone wants a peice of the cake, check out your cupboard / fridge and get in touch with offers or better yet if you want a place at my dinner party feel free to RSVP with a proposal of what you have to trade!
