Karjalanpiirakat

A few weeks ago I made karjalanpiirakat which are Finnish pasties. I had never made them before and they turned out pretty good! I used this recipe.

Candy Sushi

Now these were pretty awesome!
I made these one day with my little sister, we had an absolute ball and they tasted great to boot!
I used a great guide from Mommy Knows to make them. Definitely at the top of my list of cool projects! I plan to make them again but I want to find an alternative to the rollups because it seems Australian rollups aren't wide enough.


Cookie Monster Cupcakes

I made these earlier in the year and they were great fun!
I was following these pictures as a guide.



I couldn't quite get the entire cookie ones quite right and the coconut needed to be shredded more. 

Sleeping Teddy Bear Biscuits

This was a super quick project that I made for the reception class that I was volunteering with for a week. They loved them! I saw them at a school fair once an figured I had to try them!
If I did them again, I would probably use royal icing instead of just normal icing because it might set a bit stiffer and make a more realistic "blanket". Granted these were for a bunch of 5 year olds so I think normal icing was best.



Another cool tiny teddy recipe is Milky way cars! 

Peculiar Projects

Im a big fan of projects,  so this blog was made so that I can showcase them. Mostly they are food projects but they might be crafty things too. Im always looking for new projects to add to my to-do list, so if you know of any cool projects I could have a crack at, please tell me!
I plan to post about all of my projects not just the successful ones. 

Enjoy!
