Hi, Welcome To My Blog

I love various different types of crafts and have had a dabble at most over the years, some with greater success than others. I believe that apart from loving and giving, being creative is the next most important thing to do. There is something about being creative that taps into something deep within us that makes us feel good with the world. But then we were made in the image of God, God The Creator... so I guess being creative will be second nature to us if we allow. The problem is that many people will not have a go because they make the mistake of measuring themselves against others... and that is just not a good thing to do. I create because I like to create, not because I have to impress anyone else or be better than anyone else. I created this blog with a lot of help from my son-in-law, as a personal scrap book that I am happy to share with others if they wish to take a look.... Enjoy <><

Quick Christmas Cake

I wanted to make a thank you Christmas cake for Jenny who so kindly looks after my gorgeous dog when I go to work.

Struggling for time, I had to come up with something that was quick to make.

I baked a round fruit cake and cut it in two, placing them one in front of the other, making sure the one part was much bigger than the other.

I covered the cake with marzipan and Regalice, sprinkled the cake with edible glitter and then used cutters to cut out the reindeer and trees, colouring them with powered colouring and sprinkling edible glitter over them as well.  The tall trees were attached with cocktail sticks.  It was such a quick cake and a bit of fun.  Jenny loved the shape and in actual fact she gave one part of the cake to a neighbour as a gift.... she had more than enough for herself.
