Barbie princess cake

 when i wan younger i was never very girly, but as i've got older i've got nostalgic for the little thing that i missed out on, like a barbie princess cake! so i decided to make one for my birthday this year. its not my birthday till thursday but i wanted to make a practise one incase i went terribly wrong on the day.

i made little pink icing hearts to stick around the edge of the dress/cake to make it look prettier.

The barbie that we had didn't actually have any hair (i am not quite sue why) so we had to make a pink bob out of icing, it actually looked really cool (and i don't think a skinhead would of suited her style). it was also quite easy to make, except the cake took at least an hour in the oven but it was all fine in the end.

                                                           Happy Saturday

Ravioli (from scratch)

I've always wanted to make pasta, but i've never tried because all the other recipes i have come across have always involved using a pasta machine, so when i found this recipe i was so excited and i decided to try it out the next day.

It was actually a lot easier than i had expected and tasted AMAZING, i got the recipe from Laurens latest's and she explain's it really well. i hope you also try it out.

                                                       Happy Tuesday

Orange Lanterns

I came across this idea on pinterest the other day and at first i was a bit reluctant to try it because it looked really difficult, but after a while of looking through the steps i decided to give it a go.

In the top of the orange you can cut out any shape you like, this is so the orange doesn't catch alight.

                                    

Once i tried it it actually wasn't that hard and looked really pretty, it also smelt really good. but the only thing that was quite difficult was lighting it, so make sure that you have lots of spare matches.
                                             hope you have a good weekend
