All Cakes–No Calories
Healthy options when it comes to cakes it probably one of the hardest things to find, we all have that urge to grab a cake as a put me off till dinner time when out and about and cafe’s just seam to have the biggest and best to tempt that sweet toothed devil inside of us.
I can honestly say there is very few cakes that I don’t like.
I decided to do a little research to find the best choices for me to stay on the healthy eating track.
I browsed the internet for hours on end and the choices seamed to be make your own for anything decent until I found these beauties.
they are totally calorie free.
Strawberry Tart
Cherry Iced Coconut Sponge
Iced Bun
Chocolate Éclair
I have to stop this now because I know your mouths will be watering with the delight of these and they are fake cakes, aren’t they amazing?
They are all made from clay, full sized Tea Room cakes that would fool anyone.
I am going to look at them and drool, I bought them as props, I think the person that made these is pretty amazing, I may even have a go at doing some when I get some time.

Angelina’s Balloons
As a child I remember rubbing a balloon on my hair to make the balloon static and sticking it on walls, on someone's back or anywhere that I could get it to stick. Of course my children did it too and in fact their Dad (Chris) still does it, I don’t think he will ever grow up ha ha!
Angelina’s Balloons from Mo’s Digital Pencil
I made an easel card with the image as I really didn’t know where I was going with it, I first punched out the heart on the card with the image and tied a bow around the top, knowing that it needed something else I matted it with blue card and then it sat there on my desk for a little while, I often do this, mainly because once I start colouring I get so carried away that I end up colouring several images up. So this was the one I played with a little until I was happy.
I coloured her in Blue, did you know that way way back Pink was a boys colour and Blue a girls?

I’m still having fun using the Graph’It markers, it is unbelievable just how vibrant they are, I don’t have a full set but what I do have is wonderful, I have the rest on my wish list. They are available at Polka Doodles at a very good price.

I used the reds from the Passion set :- Coral, Tomato and Ruby and also a little bit of Plum on the shading.
Blues from the Everest set :- Sky, Celestial and Lapis
Black, Cool Grey 7, 5 and 2
Yellow from the Sunny set :- Citrine, Banana and Mimosa
Skin :- Nude and Peach
Other news for me this weekend is that I picked up my new bike, love that it has front suspension, no wrist pain after a long ride, I did 15 miles today to try it out and I was very impressed.
