Broken Glass Cupcakes

As it's nearly Halloween I though I'd share some horrific cupcakes that I made. They turned out to be more horrific than expected...

These are Broken Glass cupcakes that I made a long time ago so excuse the terrible picture:


So they looked more awesome than they do in the awful photo...well they did until the next day....

I was chuffed with my cakes because I didn't know how they would turn out and they looked pretty good, if I do say so myself. After making them I kept checking on them every hour to make sure the 'glass' was still stood upright etc. It was so I was extremely proud of my cakes.

I came to look at the cakes the next day (the day I was giving them as a present to a friend) and the 'glass' had all bent over and turned white instead of clear and the fake blood was PINK! Now if you know me at all you know that I absolutely detest pink, so not only were my awesome cakes now not so awesome but they were pink....horrified. I was even too horrified to take a photo of the pink mess, my apologies.

I still had to give them to my friend which was a total embarrassment as I had no time to make more. Apparently they still tasted good - silver lining.

I think recipes that do not stay 'awesome' for longer than a day should have this specified in the recipe! So if you ever want to make these cake by all means do because they are fab but MAKE THEM AND EAT THEM, DO NOT KEEP THEM.

The link to the recipe I based these cakes on is Here.

Happy Halloween!

Crochet Waistcoat (with link to free pattern)

I love waistcoats and have spent a lot of time looking for a crochet waitcoat pattern that I actually like. When came across one that I would actually wear I added it straight to my to do list! I think it is quite smart and simple looking (just the way I like things). Here it is: This is the first piece of clothing that I have made and I really like the way it has turned out. The patterns is well written and easy to follow, however I did have to keep trying the waistcoat on as I was making it because I have a very small build and most 'normal' sized clothes do not fit me. After making a few adjustments to the pattern the waistcoat fits perfectly. It is so comfortable and looks great over a shirt, I have had a few compliments whilst wearing it so overall a great make. The pattern is quite simple as far as clothes patterns go, it took me about two days to make, I probably could have done it in one day if I had the time. Find the pattern  Here .

Crochet Sorting Hat

A very Harry Potter obsessed friend wanted me to make her a Sorting hat. It was pretty good timing to be honest as I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter books at the minute, I read them when they first came out and had the urge to re-read. I do however need to get my hands on the films just so I can compare the books to the film just for my own interest. I've never really been interested in the films. Here is the finished product: The pattern (below for link) I used is ace and really easy to follow however when I made it the first time it was way too small. At the end of the pattern it says to add extra rounds and increases until the hat fits. If I had have done this the face would have been a really small face right at the top of the hat that would just have looked utterly wrong. I used chunky yarn as suggested in the pattern however I did not have the size hook that was suggested so I used the size down but made loose stitches. Anyway, as I said, it turned out sma...
