January is not my fav. It's cold and dark outside, and all I think about is staying indoors. BUT, looking on the brighter side...it can also be the perfect month to craft! So naturally, expect lots of DIY and creative projects this month here on the blog. You're so welcome! 😁
Homemade Strawberry Lemonade
Strawberries are in season and there's nothing more refreshing and delicious to make with fresh strawberries than homemade strawberry lemonade ! I used some organic lemons in this recipe too, and it was so quick and easy to make! This strawberry lemonade is the perfect drink to serve on Mother's Day or for any summer celebration!
No Bake White Chocolate Strawberry Tart
Mother's day is coming up, and if you need a simple and delicious dessert to impress and celebrate mom, then this white chocolate and strawberry tart recipe is it! With a few handy pantry staples and a punnet of fresh strawberries you can whip up this tart in no time at all, without the need to turn on your oven, which is always a bonus in my book! 👍 I also made a delicious fresh strawberry sauce to serve with this tart for extra indulgence, but if you don't like things too sweet, then simply serve with extra fresh sliced strawberries for a tangy contrast!
Flowerpot Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Sugar Paste Flowers
Since we've been sharing some wedding ideas in the last couple of weeks, I thought I'd post these flower pot cupcakes, since they'd be perfect for any wedding or bridal shower you may be planning! My go-to chocolate chip cupcakes are baked directly in small clay pots, then topped with a simple buttercream tinted green to give the illusion of grass, and crowned with handmade sugar paste edible flowers!

Earl Grey Tea Bag Cookies Recipe

Have you seen these amazing, trendy cream tarts in shapes of numbers and letters, taking over Instagram and Pinterest ? Well, I personally like to call them "cookie cakes" instead because, well, they look like layered cake to me! They're basically two giant sugar cookies sandwiched together with some sort of frosting in the middle, and decorated on top with tons (and I mean tons) of candy, fruit, macarons, chocolate, edible flowers...you're only limited to your imagination when it comes to the decor of these cookie cakes!
DIY Paper Flower Cake Toppers

My Pink, Blue & Gold Easter Brunch Tablescape
Last year I styled a super pretty Easter tablescape complete with a DIY floral table runner . So this year I wanted to change things up a bit, and keep things a little more casual and low-key.
