I have been blogging for two years today. I cannot believe it myself. It has passed by so fast. What started as a simple blog just for sharing my recipes has turned into the foodie adventure of my life. I liked food and cooking before I started but my passion has now reached new levels and I cannot get enough. I would like to thank everyone whose support and understanding has made this blog possible: Stuart, my parents, my stepdad, my sister and the rest of my family, my friends, my work colleagues, fellow bloggers, my Twitter friends and you, especially you, my readers. It would not be possible without you! 
Sorry for getting gushy but you are all simply amazing and I do not usually say it enough. Over the past two months, Marie and I have completed a beginners cake decorating course at a local cake shop in Halesowen. We learnt how to decorate a traditional fruitcake. My efforts are above and it is Jo’s Kitchen first birthday cake. I hope you all like it. Cake decorating does not come naturally to me as I am quite heavy handed but I will persevere over the coming months.
Giveaway Time!
As a thank you for your continued support, I have decided to host my first international giveaway.
