it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster of a day, basically celebrating kinga's life and missing mike at the same time. he was/is the best friend i ever had and we loved each other very much. i still carry a photo of him in my wallet.
does that make me gay?
weak attempt at humour...

and yeah, the fairy cakes turned out nicely. i think 4 colours was enough...

Aww, what a pretty name!
Not at all; I'd say you're honouring his memory and ensuring that he won't be forgotten which is a lovely thing to do. I don't know that I've ever had a friend I cared for that much (I have had a horrible tendency to be best friends with someone and end up with us hating one another - case in point, Slag of the Universe).

I did red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple and the red and purple were too saturated with dye so they came out brown :( fail!

Interesting...
When I was in Poland, I visited the Wieliczka Salt Mine. They had statues carved out of the rock-salt. I wonder if St. Kinga was one of them.
