This Wedding Cake Scrapbook Idea Is Really Fun-fetti To Make

Posted on April 6, 2022April 6, 2022 by Creative Memories

Wedding cakes have their treatable roots in Ancient Rome when marriage ceremonies concluded with a not-so-sugary barley bread being broke over the bride’s head for luck and fertility. Over time, this tradition transitioned into stacked confections with sugar and frosting that we know of today, and can be as unique as the couple — from white piping that echoes the elaborate embroidery of the dress to fondant figurines, marzipan roses and real flowers. Even more so, modern edible alternatives are a trendy way to show off the couple’s personality, like donut stacks, macaron towers, mini cupcakes or cake pops, wheels of cheese, sundae bars and more. Well, today we are slicing into a more traditional approach with a classic three-tiered wedding cake scrapbook idea from blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu — it’s really fun-fetti to make!

Forage for Creativity With This Forest Scrapbook Idea

Posted on December 21, 2021December 14, 2021 by Krislyn Mattei

At the ancient root of it all, humans acquired food by hunting animals, capturing fish and gathering wild edibles like plants and greens, berries and seeds. Sure, nowadays we drive to the local supermarket or enjoy food delivery services, but going back to those roots (literally!) can be so rewarding. Foraging is the process of searching, identifying and harvesting wild food in nature, like wild garlic (aka ramsons), chestnuts, morel and chanterelle mushrooms, blueberries, common nettles, dandelions and more. It’s especially trendy for those interested in eating more sustainably or to have a deeper connection to the land and changing seasons. (Added bonus: It makes for days of family fun!) Scout for your next project and take on this forest scrapbook idea!
