FootBall Cake

The same women who ordered the toopy edible image caked wanted a small cake for her husband made. She requested it to be in the shape of a food.

This was a very plain and simple cake.

The cake is chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing and vanilla butter cream.

DIY: Fabreze

I love fabreze but its hard on the pocket book and I am not a fan of the no name stuff.


I found an idea on Pinterest to make your fabreze but I changed it up a bit.

Here is the recipe:

What you’ll need:

• 1/8 Cup of fabric softener (your favorite)
• 2 tablespoons baking soda
• Hot tap water
• Spray bottle (use an empty 27 oz. Febreze bottle)

Combine all ingredients in bottle, shake well and use! 

Link to original blog post. 


Now how I changed it I use rubbing alcohol instead of hot water, I found when using hot water it left a spray mess on my tv and dark wood furniture. 

How I make it:

I used 1/8 fabric softener (whatever I can find on sale that smells nice). Using a funnel I put it in the bottle and added the baking soda I then fill the bottle almost full with the rubbing alcohol. 
Put the lid back on and shake, make sure you shake it before use every time!

This stuff is awesome and I will never buy it again from the store.

This cake cake is rainbow inside and bright colours for the icing.

Grating cheese to save money!!

We are a one income family, with renovations, the dogs, rescue work and of course my new small business living on one income can get tight to say the least.

We go through A LOT of grated cheese as most families do.

One of the main ways I help to save money around the house is I stock up when its on sale.So one the big things I buy while its on sale is brick cheese! I grate my own cheese so no buying bags of grated cheese at the store that is super expensive. I grate the cheese put it into small ziplock bags then put those into a large freezer bag and freeze it!!!

I take it out as I need it, grated cheese at the store goes for $7.00 or more but my grating my own I get 3-4 ziplock bags per large block of cheese which I buy when its on sale for 3.00 a large brick!

****NOTE**** freezing the whole brick with cause it to crumble when sliced, not a good idea.

Pirate Cookies

We don't do decorated cookies very often, but once in a while we get an order for them. These were easy and super cute. They were a last minute order from a new client.

The kids loved them!!

The cookies are made with our standard sugar cookie recipe and the icing is a sugar cookie icing that tastes amazing!

Our sugar cookie recipe creates hard sugar cookies not soft ones.
