Doily inspired cupcake wrapper


Granny squares and doilies are so very in at the moment, so I thought I'd dress up a little ol' cupcake with a paper doily.

All I did was take a paper doily, cut it out and attach to a baked cupcake and in the words of these girls,voila, très chic!

Happy day ♥

    Hi Cathie!
    I wandered over here from Koralee's ... I saw your cupcake in her sidebar and had to see what you were up to!
    I used this idea for my daughter's wedding shower cupcakes, but I didn't have the right size doily...
    It was a last minute idea and I only had the 6-7" ones left. It looks like you used the 9" ones...

    What kind of tape did you use? I found my "regular" scotch tape didn't stick as well...
    Your cupcakes look heavenly all dressed up!
    Nice to "meet" you!
    ~Maria
    ps. Your blog is very nicely designed!

    Oh cathie - they are perfect! They would go well with some bunting/flags made from doilies also. I will be using that idea for sure!

    Yes, they are very much in now. I can remember loving granny squares years ago. When people sort of scoffed at them. And paper doilies too. I use to buy them up at the craft stores and use them for decoupage projects.

    Very cute idea. I am throwing my daughter a Cupcake tea party for her birthday in a couple of weeks and have already bought a pile of paper doilies so I might have to copy this idea :)

Honey Jumbles

Image
I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat.

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy. Here’s a basic recipe I made using a Cusinart ice cream maker Berrylicious ice cream Makes 1 litre Ingredients     ¾ cup whole milk   ½ cup sugar or honey if you prefer 1½ cups cream 150grams mixed berries, thawed and slightly mashed with a fork Method U sing a mixer or hand whisk, mix milk and sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved   Add cream and mix until combined Turn the machine on and pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let it mix until thickened, about 25 minut...
