Making your own Flower Bouquets

Oh! The joy of creating flower arrangements with flowers from your own yard….roses, dahlias, gladioli, lilies grow in our region very well in summer months. When combined with some foliage from the trees, the flower arrangements can rival professional bouquets available in floral shops!

Cupcakes

Over the summer break, my little daughter taught herself how to make and decorate cupcakes with buttercream.

A cute birthday bed cake

Since my daughter was so excited about her new bed which arrived on her 9th birthday, we decided to make a replica of the same bed but in an edible version! It took almost a whole day to bake and decorate the cake, but totally worth the effort!

Candy Birthday Cake

My little princess turns 8!

My daughter loved topping this delectable vanilla cake with lots and lots of M&M’s candies, protected by a kit-kat fence!

 

I cannot forget the smile on her face when I closed her eyes and walked her to the table spread with all the other yummy goodies!

Shirt cake

I had a lot of fun making this cake with my kids for Father’s day.

The finished cake was then wrapped in an actual shirt box …who could have imagined that there would be an edible shirt inside...it was such a wonderful Father’s day surprise!

A priceless Father’s day gift indeed!
