Cushion

Unlike last year I haven't home-made much for Christmas this year. But I did make this cushion cover for my sister to match her newly decorated living room. I invented the pattern myself and was very relieved that it worked as I only finished it two days before Christmas!

Christmas Cake Pops

When I left my last job I was bought a voucher for The Make Lounge.

I spent it on a Christmas cake pop decorating course and below are the results.

The tutor April made the pops for us and coated them in a layer of white chocolate. Her recipe and blog is here

 A basic pop

 a bit of marbling

 Half way through

 All finished. See the wine in the background? Provided as part of the course!

 My favourite

 Cute snowman

 Wrapped up and ready to gift (or unwrap and eat)

 Ready to go home

I haven't got around to buying anything to replicate these at home but it's good to know how easy thety are to make. I think Easter egg cake pops might be on the cards this year.
