Princess Party – Marsmellow Candy Sticks

These sticks are quite sweet and simple.

I chased down some marsmellows, white chocolate, paper straws, red food color and sugar stars in white, and this is all you need

 

I melted the white chocolate slowly and added a few drops of red food color to make it more pink.

Placed a marshmallow on each stick and dipped in into the chocolate.

Had gathered the small sugar stars in a cup before and turned to marsmellow into this after. Then placed them on a plate to dry.

 

Princess Party – preparing the table

Celebrating my birthday with my dear friends are coming up… So the next few days, I will be all covered up in princess decorations, baking and more.

First of I made some napkin rings cut out as small princess crowns. I cut out some longer pieces of the golden glitter paper that I bought.

On the inside I measured and painted small dots to cut by.

Folded the paper over a table edge to make it bend nicely and put it together with a stabeler. 

Here is the final result in my hand and around the napkin:

  

DIY Bookcases for a baby girl

My friend Betina is soon having a little baby girl. They are living in a quite small apartment with almost no room, but is making some special furniture for Anika once she arrives.

Betina had bought bookcases of wood, 3 different types of paint – and a wood letter.. Being both in the world of graphic we of course discussed the different ways of painting the whole case, the back or the sides.

We covered the table in old newspaper and taped in the bookcases..

Some muffins and a walk later (2 times paint and dry) we ended up with this nice result:

I don’t think I’d normally half-paint like this, but I do like the effect, especially along with the colors. Really love the result and love doing DIY with my friends.

Fastelavns buns

Fastelavn is the name for Carnival in the historically Lutheran nations of Denmark, Norway, Iceland and the Faroe islands which is either the Sunday or Monday before Ash Wednesday. 

And as a Dane, baking Fastelavn buns is simply a tradition

I started Saturday by baking the bread – half of them with creme inside, the other half of them with creme on top. Replaced the butter in the recipe with 1/3 oil and 2/3 sour creme.

My sweet friend Ania stopped by to help me decorate them – we decided on bright colors purple and turquoise along with glitter and sugar stars.
