Hi everyone, we have another quick mini project for you. This is a hanging hearts decoration, it's really quick to make. You will need 6 hearts (2 red, 2 green, 2 white), a length of ribbon, 3 bows, 3 bells, some wadding and a need & thread.

Step 1: Take 2 hearts, blanket stitch them together at the 3/4 point fill with wadding, finish sewing up.

Step 2: Add a small bow & bell, repeat with the other 2 hearts.

Step 3: Take the length of ribbon and sew a heart to the bottom, place the other hearts slightly above each other and sew them on. Then make a loop at the top for hanging.

Hi everyone, happy Novemeber! here is a great project for you, a ribbon christmas tree. This takes about 1 hour when pinned (it could be quicker if you used a hot glue gun). And it's a great way to use ribbon or ribbon scraps so it's cheap too!

You will need:

1 cone approx: 30cm tall, a selection of christmas ribbons and pins or glue

Step 1: I used wired edge ribbon for the bottom row. I cut it into 3.5inch lengths folded them over, and pinned them to the tree, each time I added a new strip I over lapped them slightly, so that each strip shared a pin too. I gradually worked my way up the cone changing the colour of the ribbon, or twisting the ribbon for a different look.

Step 2: On the 7th row, I reduced the ribbon size to 3 inches long and added another row of wired ribbon  and then worked my way up the cone again, until 2 rows from the top where I reduced the size to 2.5inches. I looped some narrow ribbon to create a decorative top. When I was finished I pulled the wired ribbon up to give the tree some shape! (make sure you put at least 2 rows of wired in to help shape your tree).

Hi everyone, just a quick post to say I made some rainbow cupcakes last night, and I used my Little Venice Cake Company nozzle #22, to pipe the clouds! it was the perfect size, here's a picture... Gina x

Hi everyone, This week is National Baking Week, and I just wanted to share with you what you can do with your Little Venice Cake Company icing nozzle #22. This is a medium sized star nozzle, and its great for stars, shells and swirls. Below you will see how I decorated a Devil's Food Cake (yummy!) that I baked, for the topping I piped on chocolate fudge frosting, to make it super scrummy.

Gina x

Step 1: Bake a super yummy cake, fill up your icing bag with a yummy topping, I have my nozzle #22 on my bag already!

Step 2: Start piping little stars around the edge of the cake.

Step 3: Once you have completed the outer circle, fill the cake in one circle at a time!

Finished! and below the finished cake is a close up of some of the things you can use the star #22 nozzle for!
