I made this filling as an experiment one time and my boy liked it so much, he requested it as his birthday cake filling!!! It is super chocolaty and rich and compliments a chocolate sponge perfectly!
WHAT YOU NEED: - 1 small jar of hazelnut butter - 2 dessert spoons coconut butter - 2 dessert spoons cacao powder - 2-3 tblsp honey (or sweetener of your choice) WHAT TO DO: - Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly - Once your cake is cooled, spread evenly over the first layer of your cake - Lay your second cake on top and voila!

This is a delightful mixture to whip up for you and your loved one to enjoy this valentines day. What could be more romantic than soaking in a steamy, scented bath together, maybe massaging each others feet while you are in there as an extra gift of love to one another. I have chosen these particular ingredients, partly due to they look so pretty together, and partly as they all have some kind of aphrodisiac quality.
WHAT YOU NEED: - 2 handfuls of dried rose petals: Roses are a universal symbol of love and they are a natural aphrodisiac, not to mention that they also turn the bath water a delicate shade of pink! - 2 handfuls of dried jasmine flowers: Since ancient times jasmine has been known as 'The queen of flowers. In India, jasmine is considered to be such a good aphrodisiac that the bride and groom's bedroom are decorated with it on their wedding night! - 2 handfuls of dried malva flowers: Malva is very soothing to the skin, and historically, people liked to spread it on doorways and weave it into garlands for the fertility and fire festival of Beltane. - 1 handful star anise: This beautiful herb is often used for increasing sex drive - Some candles WHAT TO DO: - Light some candles and place safely around your bathroom - Run a steamy hot bath - Mix all ingredients together and sprinkle liberally into your bath - Pour two drinks of something cold and delicious and enjoy your valentines bath with your loved one! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
This is such a quick and easy project, but the result looks chic and stylish. You can whip up one of these babies in under half an hour! So start trawling the charity shops for nice woolen jumpers and get stitching! I think it would look really nice if you had a few different sizes of cushion and a few different neutral shades of wool together, but brights and patterns would work just as well.
WHAT YOU NEED: - A cushion - An old woolen jumper - Fabric scissors and thread - Pins - Sewing machine (Optional) WHAT TO DO: 1 ) Lay your jumper flat and lay cushion on top 2) Cut around your jumper leaving about 2cm round the top 3 sides and approximately 10cm at the bottom, preferably with the jumper edge right at the bottom 3) Fold the long edge up over your cushion 4) Take cushion out, move top section down (still folded) so the fold line matches the edge of the bottom section, and cut off the excess at the top 5) Keeping the folded bit in place, lay the two sections right sides in facing each other. Pin the two sections together all the way round 6) Make sure all 3 layers are pinned where the fold is 7) Sew all the way round the top three edges in straight stitch, then go round the edge again with a zig zag stitch so the edges don't fray 8) Turn cushion cover right way round 9) Fold the extra fold down over the back of the cushion cover and place cushion inside You can add buttons if you like, but this will hold together just fine without, especially if the flap is quite big. |
