Flying saucer (UFO) kids' birthday cake

UFO cake

In the past week we celebrated the twins' forth birthday. They couldn't agree on what cake they want, so eventually everybody has had their own special cake. I'll start with the boy's one. It's a flying saucer, or UFO. I like making cakes and am good at it, but with kids cakes I usually prefer to put my energy into decorating rather than baking, especially when I have to prepare not just one, but two cakes. This really makes you think twice and save your energy :)

Quilling Letter L - Cut Coil Flowers

A friend and I were beading necklaces one day and she suggested I arrange the beads randomly. For my organized brain, that sounded like blasphemy, but I gave it a try and happily realized it was perfectly imperfect. Since then I've embraced randomness wherever I can. My latest video shows a technique that I call "Cut Coil Flowers", because they are formed by cutting a coil apart. The resulting petals vary in size, resulting in random flower petals. They are surprisingly fast to make. Even though the letter L was enlarged 150%, it still allowed for a large showy area on my 6x6 card.  Download the template here. My new PDF e-book,   Quilling Letters  is available in my Etsy shop.  Every side and curve of the 26 letters of the alphabet is pre-measured – j ust lay your strip on top of my patterns, score, snip, fold, and glue.
