Just missed May 4th, but have a look at my dad’s vintage Star Wars buttons. They got a little water damaged unfortunately but they’re still pretty awesome!
Rose and I made some pineapple cupcakes :) had so much fun! Can you understand her? I’m thinking about putting captions up but I think its half the fun that some things are like... “what?”
A drawing I did today :) Glad to get this out of my head and on to paper finally, will touch it up and make it a digital work when I have time. Or now haha!
Look at this grubbykins with her cupcakes, she’s so proud. We made gluten-free pineapple cupcakes, video will be out tomorrow :) It’s not a regular tutorial, I asked what Rose wanted to do that day and she said “cupcakes!” so it was an impromptu thing but we had lots of fun!
My sister and I made a watermelon “cake”, which was perfect for the middle of Summer. We needed a gluten-free, slightly healthy cake, so we thought “why not make one completely out of fruit?”. Keep reading, and we’ll show you how we made it, step-by-step, or watch our video of how we did it here: https://youtu.be/jAXhNejnirc
Of course, you will need a fancy shmancy display plate like the one we’ve used here.
So first up, grab a watermelon. Literally. Give it a good hug. You’ll also need knives, chopping boards, skewers and toothpicks - don’t be grabbing these items though! Knife safety is a real thing, be careful guys. Even an adult like myself can be clumsy with a knife and I have the cuts to prove it. Please... careful here. Sage has got a safety knife for this purpose, does the job and won’t cut you.
This is the fruit that we decided to use, but you can use any fruit you like! You can even replace the watermelon with rockmelon or honeydew! Keep in mind that we are putting some of this fruit on using skewers (we didn’t have toothpicks, use toothpicks if you can) so you want a bit of meat on the fruit so it won’t just slippedy slide right off the watermelon.
Cut the watermelon (what did I say about knife safety?) and delegate a small child to eat the cut-offs. We are doing a 2-tier (2 level) “cake”, so I cut the watermelon, making sure to have two nice big pieces to round off into wide cylinders. You can make a square cake if you didn’t want a round one.
Here I am cutting and shaping the second tier for the cake, with the first one already done. Make sure to make it smaller than the first in width, so that you have a sort-of shelf to stick fruit on. Sage is chopping up the rest of the fruit we need to decorate. You can make it interesting by cutting out the fruit using cutters, like stars or hearts.
With the top tier ready to go on the bottom tier, put 3-4 skewers into the bottom tier near the middle. This will support the “cake” and make sure that the top tier doesn’t just slide off.
Start putting your fruit on. Use toothpicks or cut-up skewers and put them wherever you think looks good! We didn’t use them on the blueberries here, just hoped for the best that they would stay in place! (They did... mostly...)
And there it is! We put some blueberries onto skewers like kebobs and placed them on the top. Sure was delicious! What fruit would you use on your “cake”?
