Mini chocolate krispie bites

Very simple but just thought I'd share. I had a spare 100g block of dark chocolate and thought I'd use it to make some rice krispie cakes. I don't know how much rice krispies I used - I just kept adding until it was at a good consistency.  I only had 3 fairy cake cases left so used the petit fours (very small) cases for the remaining. I thought I may get around 15 or so of these cases but ended up with about 40.

They are good for small bites when you are running around and much less calories (and cost) than eating a chocolate bar.

Princess invitation (Shoe template)

For my daughter's birthday party we wanted to do special invitations to get her friends excited about the party. I looked on Ebay for personalised options and thought of printing on standard paper however found a pattern for a shoe template online so we decided to do "glass slippers" invitations.



I used the shoe template from www.ellenhutson.com however her template was quite fiddly with corners etc so I modified it for more straight lines. My modified design is as picture below.

With some stick-on jewels - hey presto a glass slipper

I printed out the invitations and added a clip-art crown.
The invitation was rolled up and secured by some spare ribbon I had.
