Happy 16th Birthday to my little boy!

-

Anyone who knows me will know that cooking is not my best activity, I do not enjoy and do not achieve very good results.  
As it is my sons 16th Birthday today his sister wanted me to make a cake that she could hide presents in.

On the SVG's Cuts website I saw this pattern for a birthday cake box.  
I cut 8 boxes on my ecraft and put them all together - then 8 candles and flames where cut and assembled
The top of the each slices lifts off and inside she had put money, sweets and little treats
I think it is the best cake I have every made!

 Luckily my mum is a wonderful cook and my son had requested a 
Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate Cake!!

She baked a round chocolate fudge cake and a small square one
iced them in chocolate , then decorated with rolos, chocolate orange,M&M's, Magic Stars, white chocolate buttons and mint matchmakers.

It is not a cake that you want to big a slice but it is very yummy
Can you guess that my dear son a slight sweet tooth!!


The paper cake is for the following challenges:

Both cakes are fabulous. I missed that particular die at svgcuts. I especially like the center where you can see a layer...how clever. You made 8 of them. Wow...I did two that are similar and was tired...haha

Your mum's cake is my kind of cake...just like your son's sweet tooth...chocolate chocolate chocolate! A lot of time, thought, and love went into it!

Hi Sorry, I know I'm so far behind the 8 ball and this is such an
8 ball and such an old post! HOWEVER, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for the chocolate cake??

Please and thank you. :)

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
