April Fools

Once a month we have a birthday luncheon at work.  It just happens to be on April Foods Day this month so I thought I would bring something fun for the pot luck on Friday.  I am bringing pizza, sort of.  I began with Fruit Roll up cut in pepperoni size circles.

I have an assortment of cake pans, this one is a larger round pan from a set of wedding cake pans.
 A half a bottle of red food coloring later I had tomato sauce looking frosting.
Then I lightly tinted some white icing with a bit of yellow to make it look like mozzerella cheese

I also tinted some coconut with a hint of yellow--  (I shook it up in a plastic bag with a drop of food coloring)

  After the coconut "cheese" I added the fruit roll ups!

I stopped in at the local Dominoes Pizza and asked for an empty box, which they happily handed over when I told them what I needed it for.  It makes the presentation complete!
Stay tuned for other April Fools events!

New life to old memories

When I was a little girl my neighbor made me a little cupboard.  He was a carpenter by trade.  It was painted bubblegum pink when I was small.  When my own kids were little I repainted it white. Not sure why my kids thought they could draw on it..
I got busy this weekend and sanded, primed and painted it.  
I love the vintage look of these 50 year old hinges.
I think it looks pretty good, I just need some grandkids to come and play now!  
Come on over Ashton and Maci!
