These are the supplies I used: White fondant, kitchen sizzors,
knife, green & red food coloring, tooth pick for adding color
to fondant, a clear plastic (office paper protector) sleeve with side cut so
that it opens like a book & a couple of papertowels.
Dye some fondant red, roll into a tube
shape, cut in 3 pieces

Roll 3 in the shape of round balls and one oblong.
Cover in plastic sleeve and press to flatten
Roll the oblong first.
This will become the center of the flower (roll fairly tight)

Gently wrap the flat "pedals" (overlapping slightly)
around the center piece.



Continue adding flat pieces until all 3
are around the center.
Slightly press outwardly each "pedal",
cut excess from bottom &
set to dry. 

Dye some green fondant, roll flat, cut in the shape of a leaf.
Then using a knife, cut indentations to look like leaves. 
I made a plate for each guest and used frosting in a squeeze tube to make hearts and write their names. You can prepare plates 4-5 days in advance.

Black Squid Ink Pasta with Shrimp

I will have to confess I made this, but I didn't eat it.....maybe next time. I think it is a very pretty dish though!!


The first picture was after I added two packs of squid ink. I like it better-blacker.

"Baby Cakes"

I made these little cakes for a dinner party that I had. I didn't put enough frosting on them, but they were cute and everyone seemed to like them.
