(A guest post from my lovely friend Charm on the creation of her Guitar Hero 2 cake, which was crazy awesome in every way possible.) Decide to make a full size replica of the Guitar Hero II guitar in cake form. Spend the next few weeks freaking out and searching for instructions on fondant icing and cake decorating! Pick up bits and pieces for making the cake over the course of the month… spending over $100 just on “stuff”. For [...]

Food companies have recently woken up to the fact that a large portion of the population is trying to develop healthier life styles, and so have been modifying their product recipes to fit in with this, removing the excess fats, salts and sugars whilst at the same time preserving the taste that made those products popular in the first place. Or at least trying to… there’s been a couple that have let me down when they’ve released something with a [...]

Queen of the cake pops, Bakerella has created these beautiful new eyeball cake pops, just in time for Halloween. Spooky, and delicious at the same time, I can’t believe someone hasn’t done this already as cake pops are the perfect size and shape for creating edible eyeballs! A tip I learned after creating my own cake pops (these awesome Elmo ones for my youngest’s second birthday) is to keep an eye on the size of your ball, you’d be surprised [...]

(I know there’s a few people hanging out for it, and promise the party hat tute is coming either tomorrow or Friday – this week has been all over the place as my boys’ preschool flooded and was closed on the days that they attend, so I’m pretty much behind in everything!) _________________________ Confession time. I spent eighteen years of my life not eating cheese. Not that I didn’t like it, I didn’t have a clue whether or not I [...]

I only just spotted this, otherwise I would have been all over it for the return of Glee on Channel 10, but hey, any day is a good day for cupcakes, right? Even better if they look just like McKinley High’s famous Big Quench slushies. Tamara, of Cupcakes By Tamara created these awesome cupcakes using sanding sugar (don’t waste your money buying it, make your own!) and plastic cups – although it’s the red cups that really make these look [...]

Last week I posted about natural options for creating a rainbow layered cake, and mentioned that you can now get a small range of natural food dyes from your local supermarket, manufactured by Queen, who, based on my research, are the big kahuna of food dyes here in Australia. Then twitter went just a little bit nuts asking for further information on the natural colours, and a guinea pig to give them a proper run for their money. So I [...]

I absolutely adore the rainbow cakes that have populated the blogsphere over the last few years, but, as a Mum who tries everything to avoid artificial flavours and colours, they’ve always made me wince just a little to think of the amount of chemicals and toxins going into little bodies. They are just so awesome to look at, but I don’t think I could bring myself to eat one, let alone feed one to my kids, particularly the hypersensitive four [...]

We celebrated my birthday yesterday with a beautiful cake covered in passion fruit icing and decorated by my mum and my boys. It was the first time my Mum had been here for my birthday in four years, my birthday is normally a bit of a non-event, as I have no family in Australia, so it was awesome to have her here and taking the initiative with the boys to help them make cards and presents for me, I was [...]

Easter is fast on its way, and although I’m being a scrooge and not getting the boys any chocolate eggs or candy*, I figure I can probably let those rules slide for cupcakes, particularly if they have these super cute toppers decorating them! Jax Avery of Aly&Ash has shared these lovely little toppers for you to print out and use to decorate your own easter cupcakes. I love the pastel colours combined with the black and white – as a [...]

Hmm.. kind of anyway, these are less cracker and more puff, but they’re still delicious and make a very welcome treat in our home as we slowly remove the unnecessary additives from our diets. This is the recipe I used, slightly adapted from Country Living. You will need 1 cup plain flour 4 tbsp cold butter 2 cups grated tasty cheese Italian herbs (or dried herbs of your choice) 3-4 tbsp water And a food processor! Process the flour, herbs [...]

Hi, I'm FernHi, I'm Fern and CraftBlog is my online home. I live in NSW with my husband and three sons, and spend every moment of my free time with my head buried in some form of creativity. In fact, I've never met a craft I didn't like, although I think I've tried a fair few that probably weren't too keen on me. Want to know more?
