Pop-ups!

Rockstar pop-up card

My latest craze is pop-ups! Thats the reason I'v linked so many paper crafting websites recently. I even made a tiny little card with the extra paper I had left over from another craft which I will be posting soon!

Spongebob.. squarepants!

Spongebob Cake

This cake was not entirely made by me.. a lot of the credit goes to Tau. It may look normal sized but this thing turned out super tiny and it took us over an hour to decorate! Phew! Worth the effort though as it made my younger brother jump in excitment. Because I live in India its almost impossible to find fondant so I did the icing with white chocolate sauce + the required added food colours. The idea is to make a thick, thick sauce which does'nt run while icing! For the outlines i just used regular chocolate sauce!

MY RECIPE FOR THE CHOCOLATE ICING

• Chocolate Slab with a cocoa to butter ratio of 50% -50% -- not to be substituted with dark chocolate!
• Fresh Cream

Add the fresh cream to a thick bottomed sauce pan and put on low heat. Break the chocolate slab and add in pieces, stirring constantly. The proportions are pretty flexible-  if you want the sauce thicker reduce the cream and increase the chocolate. Simple!

Our cute little Thong Cookies!

Thong Cookies!

These cookies were such a huge hit! Had made them for a friend who was going out to study.  They were super easy to make and were great fun to eat!
The cookies were simple butter, sugar, flour, egg cookies... i made two batches out of which one got slightly burnt hence the different colours!! The thongs were made with Royal Icing which is basically just egg white and sugar with food colour!
