Cape Lodge Degustation

My fiance and I got engaged a couple of years ago and I was excited to start looking at places to have the wedding. This was my first encounter with Cape Lodge in Margaret River.

Ffwd two years later and I was surprised with a stay there for my 31st birthday. 

The service we received from the moment we walked in was impeccable. It's a very secluded property so we felt like we were there on our own. We even pretended it was our house & that's how we lived hehe :)

We lounged by the pool reading our books, sat in the massive spa overlooking our balcony over the river sipping champagne but one of the most memorable moments for me was this dish. It was part of the degustation menu of the day, which is a menu that is changed daily to take advantage of the freshest produce. It is “Donnybrook Marron, pan fried, avocado tian, semidried cherry tomatoes, vanilla verjuice reduction".  

The Cape Lodge restaurant has been voted top ten in the world for food. We absolutely loved the food and the wine pairing was spot on! Such a lovely lovely experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Farm Yard Birthday




Our wonderful little nephew Aiden turned two last August and I jumped at the chance to throw him a birthday party! After deciding that the theme was going to be a farmyard party given his love of animals, I was so excited I sent the invites out about 3 months early :) :) 



I set the food up on hay bales which made for a perfect backdrop & just looked SO cute!



These amazing cookies were made by Aiden's other Aunty. She just loves decorating & she's very talented at it.

 These "corn on the cob"cupcakes were fun & really easy to make.

 I made so much food that day and I can't believe they ate it all. I was certain we'd have leftovers for at least a week. Must have been all the jumping they did on the bouncy castle that had them famished :)


 The kids took away personalized New MacDonald lunchboxes filled with farmyard games and toys
This is the BEAUTIFUL birthday boy, Aiden xxx

The guests played Tea Party Bingo, Word Scrambler and Croquet, with the winner receiving a gorgeous baroque photo frame as their prize.
