Cake Stall baking Part2

I asked my nephew how did sales on my afgans go...he started out with a very thoughtful look on his face and said there were only 3 left. What the heck does that mean - didnt they sell out like I expected them too. He then went on to explain that this year they only had three tables and could only pick two things to buy which he said was a bit slack. Last year they had heaps more more home baking for sale - well it's the sign of the times really, I said they may have done it differently this year so everyone had a chance to buy something.

Cake Stall baking

My nephew's school is having a cake stall tomorrow and he asked me if I would bake something for him. Hey Carolann I got a weeks notice - when I told my sister about your short, virtually non existence notice, we had a giggle and shock our heads....KIDS!!!

Thinking, thinking thinking...I hadn't made these for sometime and my recipe wasn't the best. So what do you do at times like this - GOOGLE. I found an easy peasy one via the Woman's Weekly and voila

CHOCOLATE AFGANS complete with swirly icing and a walnut on the top

New Blog

Isn't it amazing

how the amount of rubbish you put out each week reduces when you don't have money to spend on crap and have to dispose of the packaging lol.

Jean Bags

I've got this sure fire money making scheme(lmao) to make and sell jean bags made out of old pairs of jeans. Recently I made one for Al and some peeps have made some very nice remarks about it.

It just seems to fit with my recycling mentality and using what is available around me. I'm trying not to use new materials(buying stuff from a fabric store) for the lining but will make exceptions if it has that wow factor.

I'll add some photo's soon
