Simple Tuesday: How to shade icing
March 10, 2015 • Cooking, girl time, Let's Eat, Simple Tuesday
So our journey of Simple Tuesday continues. See the shades of the flowers on the cup cake below?
Pretty yes but, how is that done?
I was told by Anita Stack, Pastry manager and Queen cake decorater(this should be her title cause
she's the bomb) of Tizzert's in Charlotte since 1995, just how to achieve this look.
When you fill your pastry bag with buttercream icing, you put one color on one side of the bag and
a contrasting color on the other side.
Anita warned against using bright colors for cakes because the color can really stain your mouth.
She also showed me how much she loves decorating tip #67 as she uses it all the time.
I also learned how to make a pastry bag out of parchment paper, which really saves having
to wash the bags.
Thanks again to Tiz(Tizzerts) & Anita for teaching a very well informed buttercream class and
sharing all your tips.

Simple Tuesday: A new series and a project
February 24, 2015 • crafts, Crafty, DIY, fashion, Simple Tuesday
I am going to start a new series called "Simple Tuesday"
I am starting this series for two reasons, because by nature
Monday's can be tough and I don't want
Monday's can be tough and I don't want
to add something else to your plate on that day and I just wanna keep it simple for my readers.
So, please follow along on Tuesday's to see what simple crafts, recipes or tips I may be sharing.
This first Simple Tuesday project will be a Jewelry Board that I made for
my bathroom to hold my jewelry and earrings.
I just cut a piece of wood and covered it in pretty fabric that I already had laying around.
I added the ribbon at the top just for an accent and finished
it off with decorative nail heads in the corners.
Pre drill your holes for your knobs that will hold your jewelry. You can really mix it up and add
knobs that will fit what you are wanting to hold. As you can see I used different types of knobs and
handles for my jewelry board. Also, make sure the screw for the knobs is long enough to go thru the
wood as you attach a screw to the back to secure.
Voila there you have it. Our first simple Tuesday project is done and I think it really is a nice way to
organize all your jewelry.
