It works great for cotton fabrics and  the result comes better after 2 or 3 washes.

You will need:
White T-shirt
Boiling water
salt
fabric colour
metal bowl or saucepan

1. Fill the bowl with boiling water

2. Add the salt, the color and mix well

3. Dip the bottom of the t-shirt

4. Every 30sec. pull 5cm. out and repeat until the end.

Wash out the color with cold water and leave the t-shirt dry.

Starry nights - Sunny days Cupcakes

OK, people. Here is a fact: "If you start to bake cupcakes, you'll never stop!".
I'm not sure where this obsession becomes from...
Is it the size? The colors? The endless ways to serve them? The friends asking for more?

This time I decide to make them a bit playful.
I decorate some of them with suns and flowers, and the rest of them with moons and little balls-like-stars,  which I've made out of fondant.

I used ganache cream instead of frosting, and mini chocolate cupcakes.
Chocolate is the best!

I found these shaped tiny cutters, on a very old cooking tool.
I'm not sure what is made to do this tool, but used to be my mum's and I thing is Tupperware.

The moon shape is easy to make it using just a circular cutter (as I did here).
I thing that I liked more the "starry nights" cupcakes than the "sunny days".
Both of them were delicious thought!

Τhis year we made a really big wreath. Our
grandmas were adding  garlic and some nettle-grass , but we didn’t.
