Ho, ho, ho and Merry Christmas! If you're looking for some festive cheer, then have a look at the Reindeer Bars here! So easy to do and fun to make the best thing is there's no need to bake! Apologies for the rhyming, but it is Christmas! 🎅🤶🎄 These dark chocolate bars were made using the following items: Dark Chocolate Pretzels Edible Eyes (by Cake Decor) Red Skittles (for the Nose) Sprinkles, Gold Crunch, Edible White and Silver Pearls (Optional) For the wrapping, I used cellophane treat bags and pull bows. Rest your chocolate bar mould on a tray so that when you place it in and out of the fridge, it doesn't bend. Use a larger cellophane bag than the bar itself, so when you gather the top of the bag, there is enough room...
If you are looking at other gift ideas for the summer, then how about making some of these sweet boxes. Great for both children and adults alike, they can be filled with any sweet treat imaginable. Perfect for parties, weddings, get-togethers, or even for a Friday night treat. The only thing you'll need is a bag of sweets, boxes, decorations of your choice and a great imagination! Not only can the sweets be tailored to the individual, but so can the boxes. For the decoration aspect, you can personalise them for friends and family with stickers or ribbons. Fill then with your favourite colours or make multiple boxes using just single colours to suit the recipient, which would be perfect for a Baby Shower or Gender Reveal Parties as...

Since the knitted moulds came out, there has been an influx recently of the multitude of things you can make with them. At Christmas, we had the Bobble Hats, at Easter, we had the Gonks, and then I've also seen a variety of other lovely fondant creations appearing online. So as the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them. I did indeed decide to join them and made some knitted bear cupcake toppers. Ahh, the only thing now is to find out where baby bear got to? 🤗 Tutorials Easy Cupcake Toppers Creative Corner

If you want to get into the festivities and it's looking a little cold outside then why don't you look at creating your own edible bobble hats? All you'll need are a Terry's Chocolate Orange, plain cupcakes, knitted moulds and some fondant icing. These are great gifts for the festive season and can also be used for a topper on a Baby Shower cake too. Literally, all you have to do is emboss the icing fondant with knitted moulds, wrap it around the chocolate orange or perhaps a cupcake and then add the pom-pom and rim, and there you have it, a lovely little Bobble Hat. The colours I used to make the edible bobble Hats are as follows:- Renshaw Poppy Red Icing for the large Terry's Chocolate orange bobble hat at the back. SMART FLEX...
These Num nom cupcakes were made to accompany the Berry Berry Swirl Cake I made for my God-daughter. I used claret pink for the faces of the pink num noms and then used a darker claret pre-dyed icing for the bows. The eyes and nose are Renshaws black decor icing and the eyelashes were made using a foodoodler black coloured edible pen. As there were boys attending the party I made some blue Num Noms of my own design, these had the stars on the ear and were baby blue in colour. Tutorials Easy Cupcake Toppers Creative Corner
Simple and fun Christmas model decorations which are relatively quick and easy to make. These are great for cupcake toppers or as a feature on your Christmas cake. I used chocolate icing for the rich brown textures; this made the Santa Sack filled with presents, the base of the Christmas pudding and the snowman's hat. I used white icing for the snowman body, the snowflakes (I also used a snowflake cutter for the shape). The Christmas tree was made using Renshaws green lincoln icing, and edible dragees were used to make the decorations. The penguin dipping pool was made using white and blue icing fondant mixed together. The red berries on top of the pudding were made using red poppy coloured Renshaws icing. The green and red icing...
Here is a lovely Dalmatian design that I found in one of my books recently, and couldn't wait to recreate him. I made Spot using Renshaws white, black and Poppy red icing. His tongue was made from spare pink icing that I had, and the bone was made using the Teddy bear brown colour. The dog itself was straightforward to make and was just a mixture of rolled-up shapes. I did the spots freehand and added the bone as a finishing touch using teddy bear brown coloured Renshaw icing and a veining tool. I made the red mat he's sitting on out of the Poppy red icing so that he has a little contrast and stands out a little. The book that Spot the 'Dalmatian' was in is called 100 Fondant Animals for Cake Decorators and was created by Helen...
