Coke can butterfly card!

This card was made with a soda can. Lots of fun. First, you take a pop can and wash it. Next, after it is dry take a knife a punch a whole three times at the top by the where the can starts to bend down. This is the thinner tin. Cut open and throw away top. Cut down side of can. Then cut around bottom and throw bottom away. Now you have a " piece of tin paper". Be very careful not to cut yourself throughout this process. The edges will be sharp! Send your "paper" through a die cutting machine and there you have it a beautiful card. I used a coke can and a sprite can underneath for the wing. Try any can for different affects!




This butterfly is made with a Coke can and a Sprite can under the left wing for special effect.   I used another Coke can for the right wing layer

I made petit fours, cupcakes, and mini cakes with buttercream frosting.  I placed the cupcakes in the teacups and sprinkle little pearls on the frosting.  The afternoon tea was fun.  We also enjoyed strawberry chicken salad with almonds and a variety of tasty tea breads.  The teas on the menu were Irish Premium Breakfast Tea, Youthberry/Orange Blossom White Tea (iced),  Tranquil Dreams (lavender) Tea,  Organic Wild Strawberry White Tea,  and Jasmine Green Blooming Tea.

Loose leaf teas are in front of the tea pots.

This is a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting.  It is topped with coconut.  I made this for my mom's birthday.  It was yummy.  I used a Demarle flower baking mold to back the cake and it came out so easy without having to flour the pan.

For the candles, I bought the Wilton's birthday candle with the matching flame color.  When lit, the flame of the candles were the color of the candle.  This added a nice touch to the white cake.  Of course, the best part was eating this cake!
