Make your own Edible Arrangement

So easy...so cute. I used a small bucket added floral foam to the base, covered the foam with shredded paper. Choose your fruit, add cookies, candy...
I used Strawberries (some chocolate covered) and grapes with Easter peeps. All I did was thread the grapes and strawberries on a bamboo stick (or lollipop sticks) and place into floral foam. Do the same with the peeps.

You could personalize this for any occasion.

Mardi Gras King Cake Cheats

In honor of Fat Tuesday/Mardis Gras -I came up with a King Cake cheat cake. The original King Cake Recipes are very time consuming. So this recipe fits well in my schedule.
You will need:
One can of Cinnamon Rolls w/Icing (store brand or Pillsbury)
Almond paste (comes in a can near pie fillings)
Nuts (optional)
Take Cinnamon Rolls out of can, they usually come in a can of eight (which made 2 small King Cakes) , unroll the rolls to make strands, braid 3 strands together and shape into a round. Do the same with another 3 rolls. With the two remaining rolls place them inside the braided roll round using the almond paste as "glue" this is where you can add nuts if desired (in between the braided roll and the round roll). Bake according to Cinn Roll directions. Let cool, place the "King" (baby Jesus) inside (I buy them in bulk from Party City) add icing and colored sugars (purple-justice, green-faith and gold-power). YUM!

Holiday Cheer

Liquor bottles, add curling ribbon, using dollar store tins, place floral foam in bottom cover with shredded paper, place candy canes all around or suckers for Birthday or everyday gift, add liquor bootle, wine bottles, or non-alcoholic bottles (tape to bamboo skewers or lollipop sticks andplace in floral foam.

Transparent Colored jars-use mod podge, mix with food coloring (I used Wilton food coloring), pour into mason jars, turn mason jars so that the entire inside of the jar is covered, turn upside down and placw on paper plate. Let dry for about a day or 2, turn jar over and dry out the inside for about a day. There you have it decorative colored jars.

Sugar Scrub Cubes

Sugar scrub cubes- Coconut Oil (Baking aisle near Crisco/Veg. Oil), Bar Soap (use one with lavendar essential oil in it) if not add essential oil (near natural products), Sugar. Shred one bar of soap (I used a knife) put in microwavable bowl add coconut oil about 1/2-1 C. and melt on high in microwave oven at 30 second intervals, stir after each 30 second interval. Soap will not melt completely, mix in Cup of Sugar or a lil more for thicker consistentcy. Put in ice molds (I used heart shape mold) Freeze about 30 minutes.
