if you ever find yourself in need of a quick cake decoration here's a
little how-to that might help :)
you will need...
2 wooden skewers (food safe)
various washi tapes
string
scissors
cut a piece of string that is almost twice as wide as the cake...
leave a length of string at each end to tie onto skewer
cut washi tapes long enough to fold over the string to form a double layer
cut into a pennant shape ( or semi circle, rectangle or any shape you fancy )
tie on to the skewer
stick into cake :)
(don't light candles while this is on cake) obvious I know but thought I should mention it x
we had a lovely weekend with lots of bunting and lovely gifts Yay :)
making the most of the sunshine we rode an open top bus through one of my favourite cities....
| can you spot the clue? |
tomorrow is our 15th wedding anniversary...I might just get my Tiara out and wear it round the house for the day to celebrate :)
.....and so we are fast heading into October...which means we may start thinking about ......Christmas.....if so there is a very lovely book due out next month from the fab people at Mollie Makes...
the book is available to pre-order over here

Although I don't make much stuff at Christmas these days, I couldn't resist the book and got a good deal at another online book place, saving several pounds.
ReplyDeleteSweet little bunting idea. Everytime your post a blog with a crafty project I get all inspired to "make something."
ReplyDeleteyour ideas are always so darling...and the Mollie makes book is a must...must go see if I can order a copy...hugs for a great week.

No, believe me it is not obvious to not light the candles! I read that thinking that's exactly what I'd do. Then I'd stand back to take a picture and see a bunting inferno in my viewfinder!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary.
