Ice cream anyone? Well nearly!

Hello everyone :)

Here's some pictures of cupcakes i made at the weekend for mothers day. I've seen these a couple of times on American blogs, and thought i'd have a go. You just put your normal cake mixture into ice cream cornets and cook them just as you would in cases. It's very clever. I think they'd be fab for summer birthday parties :)

Thanks for looking, I'll be back soon... promise!

Hugs, Rachel xx

Christmas cake anyone???

Hey hey!

Well, i've just finished decorating the christmas cake, so i thought i'd come here and wish you all

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

and i hope everyone has a lovely day.

I've still got 2 cards to make and a pair of arm-warmers to knit before tomorow so i'd better get on with it!

We are staying with my grandma and grandad for a couple of days, so i'll show you everything i've made when we get back :D

Big christmas hugs to you all!

hugs and kisses + yummyness

Hey bloggers :)
This card was sooo fun to make :) I've used Noble Tilda (again), and stamped her to sit on the sentiment, which is done on the computer. The papers are by the paper cellar, and are my favourite ever. They are sooooo gorgeous and this is the last of them :( I've added flowers from wild orchid crafts, a doily, pearls, glitter glue, inkyness and faux stitching...et voila!

Tilda is coloured with distress inks:

Hair - Walnut Stain

Skin - Antique Linen, Tattered Rose

Dress + shoes - Tattered Rose

Bow - Antique Linen

Rose - Walnut Stain

Leaves - Peeled Paint

I've just realised i've cut her earing off :( I'll sort it out...

Now i've got some piccies of yummyness to show you :)
I made this white chocolate cheesecake this afternoon, and it's gorgeous (if i do say so myself!)
I couln't find a nice recipe for a chocolate one, so i used a rasberry one and adapted it a bit. There's milk chocolate in the base, and white chocolate in the filling...yum!
I might do a recipe post sometime :)

Thanks for looking
