CAKE FLAVOURS
..........................................................................................................................

	Chocolate Mud Sumptuously rich, moist, chocolate mud cake layered and filled with a dark chocolate ganache. This cake is guaranteed to satisfy the majority and remains our most popular flavour.
	White Chocolate Mud A light cake with a delicate caramel flavour, layered with a white chocolate ganache. This cake is perfect for children and daytime events such as christenings.
	Hazelnut Chocolate Chip This delicious hazelnut cake is dotted with loads of chocolate chips and is layered and filled with a dark chocolate ganache. This flavour is guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
	Red Velvet Made with fresh raspberry puree and real dark chocolate, this Red Velvet is slightly different to the traditional recipe as it is layered with a white chocolate ganache. It is certainly a staff favourite at Planet Cake.
	Coconut A decadent butter cake full of coconut flavour, layered with a dark chocolate ganache. A wonderful addition as a tier on your wedding cake to compliment that chocolate mud cake as a lighter alternative.
	Jaffa Chocolate and fresh orange puree create this flavour match made in heaven. When you cut into the cake you will reveal a beautiful marbled pattern. This flavour is a true winner and is layered with our dark chocolate ganache.
	Rainbow The base of the cake is made using a white chocolate mud cake recipe which has been coloured in reds, greens and yellows to reveal an amazing marbled rainbow pattern. The kids will be amazed at the colours of the rainbow when you serve this up at their next birthday party (we are certain the 'big' kids will be impressed as well!)
	Marble Mud If you love white chocolate mud and dark chocolate mud (or just chocolate in general) then this is the cake for you... two flavours for the price of one and deliciously decadent too.
	Other flavours include: Orange and Poppyseed A light cake with a smack bang citrus tang made using fresh orange puree and poppy seeds is layered with our white chocolate ganache. Orange poppy is a wonderful cake to serve with coffee after a heavy meal.
	Traditional Fruit (Additional charges apply)  An old fashioned favourite filled with lots of dried fruit, perfect with chocolate ganache or marzipan (upon request) suitable to have as the top tier on your wedding cake to keep for that special anniversary.

this is the closest I can get at the moment

I think I might do something like that

Hi all.

A couple af days ago I saw this film. And it got me thinking. I like my job and my family but perhaps I need something to "do'" like Julie did in the film. As I am not cooking in general I came to think of my many table ideas. SO my thing will be to reproduce or create different table settings. My start idea is not working out at the moment as Krylon Looking glass paint is not available in Europe. So HELP!! does anyone know of a product similar to this, that I can buy in Europe???

From Jacin: Is there anything prettier than mercury glass these days? I don’t know the exact moment I fell in love with this gorgeous accent, but let me tell you, I pretty much can’t get enough. When I made my daily stop over at Kelley Maria‘s gorgeous and inspiring blog and saw her tutorial to make your own faux mercury glass, I immediately reached out to her to see if she’d like to share it with all of you!  And lucky us – she said yes!  So here she is today {make sure to swing by her blog when you’re done reading so you can give her a hello!}
Hi everyone, Kelley from Kelley Maria here!  I am thrilled to be guest posting today for Lovely Little Details!  Thank you for having me.  I often feature DIY projects on my blog and like to focus them around saving money because who doesn’t like to save money?
Today’s post features a tutorial on how to make mercury glass.  I have always been a fan of mercury glass, but the stuff is so darn expensive so I set out to make my own in hopes of achieving a similar look while also saving money.  Plus, it is way more fun knowing you made it!
I chose to do this project using goblets (that I got from a thrift store for $1 each) and I am going to use them as votive candle holders.  Small votive candle holders turned into mercury glass would look great on tables at a wedding reception!

{Before}

Supplies:
-       Krylon Looking Glass Mirror-Like Spray Paint
-       Metallic Gold Acrylic Paint
-       Metallic Silver Acrylic Paint
-       Lamp (Ebony) Black Acrylic Paint
-       Sponge (cut into small pieces)
-       Cotton Swabs
-       Cotton Pads
-       Clear glass candle holder
Instructions:
1.  Spray the “looking glass” paint on the inside of goblet.  Spray the bottom of stem base and lightly spray the stem as well.  *Note:  with Looking Glass Mirror-like paint you must paint the reverse of the side that will be showing.  Spray 5 very thin coats, allowing 1 minute between coats.  Paint sprays dull, but reverse side has mirror-like effect.

2.  This next part is very tedious and takes patience!  Dip the piece of cotton in the acrylic paint, switching off between metallic gold, metallic silver and black.  Dab the inside of the goblet to remove patches of the spray paint.  I switched off using the cotton swabs and pads.  Repeat until you have the desired look.  Next, dip the sponge in acrylic paints and “sponge” the inside of the goblet to add some color.  Sponge the stem and bottom of the goblet as well. I used mostly gold and black for the sponge effect.  Once paint has dried, repeat the process of removing paint from the stem and bottom of goblet.

DIY Hat Tutorial

Hats for young babies are very straight forward to cut and stitch. They just require two pieces of fabric and a brim. I’ve made a lot of those with this tutorial.

However, I’ve always struggled when trying to make hats for older children and adults. Using the same method as the baby hats yields an ill-fitting product, in my opinion.

The hats I’ve bought seem to have this extra seam to keep them from looking too tight or loose around the seam.

I cracked the code for making seamed adult hats. Here’s how I made this cute fleece hat for myself.

Disclaimer: My pictures for this tutorial were taken in waning afternoon light. So they aren’t my best.

I started by taking a hat that fit me and folding it into quarters. I folded my fabric into quarters, too. (Kind of like you’re making a chain of paper dolls.)

This is a picture of the fabric folded into quarters:

I traced and then cut around the hat quarter. Here’s a visual of how your fabric should look. Kind of like a crown. Don’t worry. It’ll turn out a-ok!

Next, fold the fabric together, right sides together, matching up the points.

Sew up the side. Pivot your machine’s foot and then continue up the ‘triangle’ and stop when you get within 1/2” of the tip.

Then you’ll sew the opposite triangle. And finally, finish the last two triangular sides. Sew over the peak of the hat to close the tip.

Next, I added some blue fabric inside the brim. I did this so I wouldn’t have to hem the hat and also to add some warmth around the ears. I used the hem of a t-shirt so it would have a factory finished edge. I cut two 4” pieces to the width needed and sewed them with wrong sides together at the edges. (This way the seams will be on the inside of the hat and not touching your ears!)

I then pinned the blue inner brim to the base of the outer hat fabric with right sides together. I sewed it into place.

After it is sewn on, this is what the outside of the hat will look like.

Turn the hat wrong-side out. Fold the blue brim up toward the hat’s crown. Sew into place.

This is what the right side of the hat will look like. If you use fleece, it will help to hide the seam.

Here’s what the inside looks like:

I added a cute little flower. I love yellow and gray together, so I cut a few pieces of grey knit scraps into irregular shapes.

I stacked the shapes and sewed them together in the middle with embroidery floss.

That’s it! You can make a hat of any size using this tutorial. (All you need is a hat that already fits.)

Lucys flowers

yes i know, you need these in your life!

here's how:

after the first part of the flower is finished...put some pins in the back to hold it together.

then start with the second wider strip you have leftover and repeat the steps above.

then hand sew it together. 

i started in the middle.

hide your stitches.

when i hand sew i work mostly from the back...this helps hide those stitches.

then your done!

i am obsessed with making these right now!

wait till your husbands are nice and asleep...then sneak down and start crafting.

my husband has no idea what goes on in my nightlife.
