Ruby’s rainbow cake

For Ruby’s 5th birthday she told me she would like a rainbow birthday party.

So we sent out rainbow invitations, set up a rainbow treasure hunt and her dad made a beautiful rainbow birthday cake.

The rainbow birthday cake was super impressive. It really was beautiful.

And the surprise is when you cut it to find the rainbow colours.

Jason said it was also easy to make (he covered the outside in whipped cream and smarties, instead of icing).

He is our birthday cake maker. He likes to make impressive and beautiful cakes for us.

So it has become a birthday tradition. That dad bakes the cakes.

And I love that this shows the children that we can all bake. We can all be part of the party preparations.

Pretty special I reckon.

Jason has baked all kinds of birthday cakes… a ladybug, dinosaur (check out the teeth!), teddy bear, a super impressive pinata cake, treasure island cake, Peter Pan on Wendy’s roof and a castle cake!

Rainbow wind wands

I was itching to craft last week. And I only had a short time in which to craft.

So wind wands it was!

From my stash, I grabbed some ribbon and wooden curtain rings. And it was as simple as cutting the ribbon (nice and long for each colour) and tying them on. As I am obsessed with rainbows, I found myself choosing a pretty rainbow of ribbon for each one.

These are such easy to make toys and lots of fun! My littlest has been enjoying his *grin* And the playgroup kids took them outside into the wind this week too.

For our Steiner school spring fair I need to make some items for the Children’s Tent (a magical tent that children can pay a dollar to enter and choose a lovely little treasure from) and I think I will make some wind wands as my contribution. They are also great last minute gifts or even party favours.

There are so many beautiful colour combinations too, like pretty pinks or the colours of fire!

Now if only I had some more time to craft!

Happy crafting, Kelly
