Giant Cupcake Tin!!!

Just got back from a family holiday in Taupo and my Mum surprised me with a Nordicware Giant Cupcake tin (thanks Mum!!) to add to my business tins for Whangarei Cake Tin Hire....

Couldn't wait to make it so amongst cooking a roast dinner, trying some new sweet recipes for our evening and making a double batch of white chocolate apricot slice I made and decorated this - it literally only took 15 minutes to decorate. The irises are from my garden. Will definetly make another one but with white icing and lots of silver.....would look really cool on top of one of my acrylic cupcake stands I hire out for weddings. Only limited by your imagination!!!

INVITATIONS TO A 'NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS'

A Night of Christmas 14 King Street kensington 5pm onwards 'Merry Everything'

Wow! September and I'm already being asked for invitations for our evening.......these cookies were alot of fun to make. Sasha and I thought it was a great idea to keep the invitiations simple so this is what we came up with.......... they looked alot sweeter in real life - photo doesn't really do them justice......

TEE HEE PEG ANGELS ARE FINISHED!!!

Wow!!! This has been a while coming - I have finally finished my peg angels! Maybe something to do with the realisation that its not far till Christmas and do I have alot of stuff to make and create before then. At least last night I planned a few of the foodie things I will make for my Night of Chistmas - thanks to a friend prompting me!!!

Next stitching item I think will be my toadstool cushion and Christmas bugs which I have been dying to make. The weather is supposed to be yuck this weekend so its perfect to have a play with our 'Night of Christmas' invitation cookies and get the boys in the kitchen trying out one or two of the Nordic tins I bought to hire out.

Above is a picture of a couple of my peg angels. They have papier mache bodies, hand painted faces and wee charms sewn onto their waists....
