Felt Food Kit

My Hand-made felt crinkle cut potato chips

My hand-made felt cheese & ham sandwich

My Hand-made felt pizza



Whilst I was shopping in Islington last week I came across the Felt Picnic set in a sale at the art store, Cass Art. I thought it would be great to make for Molly's play kitchen and give them to her for her birthday. I love how they turned out and made a few tweaks from the original kit by buying some red and yellow embroidery thread to match the felt, as the kit only provided brown and purple. I also put velcro on the bun and bread slices so she could make sandwiches and burgers rather than stitching the bread to the sandwich filling as per the instructions. I had so much fun making them that I went on to make felt iced gems and tea bags.

Happy Birthday Molly!

Molly's Birthday Cake

Molly's Birthday cake

Molly Birthday cake roof

Coloured cake inside

Rainbow cake



Today is my cute niece, Molly's, 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday Molly!



Yesterday she had a birthday party and this year I decided to make a cake shaped like a house. I chose a house to match my gift to her which was lots of pretty treasures for her playhouse, more of which I will show you later....



Cake details

Gluten-free lemon flavoured, coloured layer cake with buttercream covered in fondant icing (recipe coming soon)



The roof, door and windows were made of pink wafer biscuits with a liberal sprinkling of pink glitter. I stuck pale blue M&M's which I had recently got at M&M world onto the roof. I made pale green fondant leaves for the corners of the house and roof and to get the brick effect on the house I used a textured brick mat from Blue Ribbon. The chimney was two green polka dot candles. I covered the top of my cake board with Cath Kidston wrapping paper with a layer of sticky back plastic over the top and stuck pink polka dot ribbon around the sides.



Have a sweet day!

Rice DK Autumn/Winter 2011
This week for my 'shops i love' page I bring you fun, funky fabulous Danish brand, Rice DK, a brand that often appears here on Torie Jayne.

With all the new Autumn/Winter catalogues coming out now I thought I would first feature Rice DK. As always their collection is full of bright, happy colours like the bright pink and blue ostrich table lamps, kitchen hooks and candle holders. Following on the bird theme there are flamingo shaped hooks in a rainbow of colours and one arm ostrich and peacock candelabras. Cutlery in zesty lime, bubblegum pink and fresh mint to brighten up meal times. My favourite has to be their acrylic picture frames in a mixture of sizes and colours like mint, hot pink and lime green.

Have a sweet day!
