BEAT COVID-19 LOCKDOWN FRUSTRATION

Image
Covid-19 has hit us all hard House arrest is what it boils down to. The first 5 weeks were extra difficult as everyone had to stay home except for buying groceries and for medical help. After the 5 weeks a few restrictions were lifted but still staying at home was recommended. Those who ventured it out of the house needed to wear a face mask. This is all for the greater good of the citizens of South Africa..... The whole world was affected by this pandemic and all countries had their specifications for keeping people safe from the virus. In all that people get very bored frustrated and need lots of activities that they can do at home, Children are especially hit hard becaues they are used to having friends at school and visiting each other after school. Most of the smaller kids may not even understand what this is all about. We have come up with a solution for some of the time to stay occupied. Anyone can do this - kids from 3 - 100 years old. Most kids like creating things and ...

BÚSY TIMES PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE Since December we have hardly had time to catch our breath and now Easter is lurking ahead of us already. November/December are always very popular for weddings so we had quite a few wedding cakes as well as wedding anniversary cake orders. Then came Christmas with its orders for all sorts of cookies, cupcakes and cakes. Traditionally Christmas is a time for fruit cake and this year was no exception. Fortunately they should be made in advance so we had the bulk of our orders baked and ready for delivery by the time we had to get on with the cookie orders. Cookies form a very nice gift and we had plenty orders for those too. Of course they are also nice to have ready for your family. Don't forget Santa's cookies and milk. February is of course the month for love, Many people surprised their loved ones with cookies, cakes, cup cakes and chocolates. By the time Valentines day was past, we were seeing red - figuratively speaking. There ...

KIDS LOVE THEME PARTIES

Image
MOST OF US ARE KIDS AT HEART. When it comes to parties - especially kids'birthday parties it is always nice to have a theme. Depending on the child's age, gender and of course their peferences it is quite easy to follow a theme. Kids often get their ideas from TV although older ones also search the internet to find something that they find interesting. There are also quite a few options of what method should be used to create a cake pf their liking. Tray cakes are very popular - ecpecially with younger ones as they often find a double layer slice a bit too much to eat. Single layer tray cakes with a printed design are very popular. That way it is easy to find a picture that they like and simply print it on edible paper with edible ink.  If you don't have a printer for that, there are always places who will do the printing at a fee. Another great option for an easy to make cake is using cupcakes to form a design. Most people love cupcakes - even the adults and th...
