Silk-Dyed Eggs {aka TIE-Dyed!} I posted this tutorial a few years ago and it has become somewhat of a tradition to bring it back every year! One of our family Easter traditions is dying eggs with pieces of silk. I saw a cute lady show Martha how to do it a few years ago and I ran upstairs right then to steal a tie!
It’s way cooler than those cups of neon liquid that end up all over your clothes, your furniture and your hands plus it gives you an excuse to rid a man’s closet of ugly ties. Here’s the run-down: You need 100% silk for this to work. I try to find an assortment of colors and patterns. Usually it will tell you if it’s 100% silk right on the main label of the tie, but a lot of them don’t, and if that’s the case, check that little tiny end, it’s usually hiding there. The first step is to deconstruct the tie. Next you cut a piece large enough to cover an egg. Now, notice how I tied the eggs in the above photo- with the tie on the top of the long side of the egg. I wish eggs came like this at the grocery store. Homemade Twinkies Recipe. “An enduring American icon.” So said President Clinton as he dropped a Twinkie in the millennium time capsule back in 1999.
I don’t think he meant “enduring” in quite the way the packaged snack’s rumored 30-year shelf life implies, although if you’re stashing a dessert to be unearthed decades from now, a cellophane-wrapped tubular cake seems a far better prospect than a freshly baked apple pie. Ever since Twinkies’ 1930 debut into our national snack consciousness, the golden sponge cake with artificially flavored cream filling has woven its way into the fabric of American culture. Presidential accolades aside, Twinkies have found devotees in droves and made cameos in Ghostbusters, Sleepless in Seattle, and even Archie Bunker’s lunchbox. Everyone loves Twinkies. I’m just not that into them.
I think my lack of attraction might have something to do with the cream filling, as I’ve never met a sponge cake I didn’t like. LC What Shape is Your Twinkie? Take a look at the recipe below.

Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths.
Fold the 20 inch piece in half, pull the loop through the ring, fold it over the ring, and pull the rest of the cord through the loop. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess. Mad in crafts: DIY Fire & Ice Lanterns. The old becomes new: A new variation on the outdoor lantern. We have had an unusually warm winter in Michigan this year, and while the temps have been nice, I have had to hold off on this project idea until we got a cold snap.
We finally got some snow and cold earlier this week, so I was able to try out this fun winter project. I had pinned a product called Globe Ice Lantern Kits a few months back recognizing that I could DIY them at home. Originally priced at nearly $30 for a kit that makes 6 lanterns, I think they are very reasonable for a small batch. If you are making several (say, for a special event or to light a walkway), you can make 3 of these DIY versions for only $2 worth of supplies from the dollar store.
To make DIY Fire & Ice Lanterns, you will need: a package of 3 punch balloons from the dollar store a package of 3 LED tea lights from the dollar store bowls small cylinder (shot glass, pop bottle, etc.) water freezer or below-freezing outdoor temps.

Prior to organizing your wedding seating arrangement, see to it that your wedding guest indeed confirmed their attendance from the wedding invitation that you sent out.

A crucial factor as well is the location where the wedding party guests must be seated in order that they don’t have to move in and around every single table to get their seat. This can often be accomplished simply by showing a place card on the table or putting a seating chart or escort cards noticeably at the entry way to the reception venue.

Giant paper flowers from ruche. You may remember the wedding of our lovely D*S contributor Brittany Watson Jepsen. Her huge paper blooms made such a splash that she started selling them in her shop, and just recently Brittany wrote a great article for Brooklyn Bride about the paper flower trend.
I’m thrilled that this is a growing phenomenon; I adore anything made in exaggerated scale, so I feel that the more giant flowers and plants there are in the world, the better. This particular giant-flower DIY project comes from the creative team at Ruche. They decided to make these giant fantasy flowers for their spring lookbook, which is aptly titled “Enchantment.” Our creative team brainstormed ways to turn our spring lookbook, Enchantment, into a daydream.

All natural red velvet cupcakes Since last year, when I posted my all natural red velvet cake, which I made without red food dye, dozens of people have tried my recipe. For some, it worked well, and for some, it did not. Making a cake is hard enough without the addition of carefully balancing the pH levels, and it seemed everything affected the outcome of the color, whether it was the type of flour used, the type of cocoa, fineness of the ground beets, and on and on and on.
People in Europe, for some reason, had the most difficult time with it, and I have yet to hear of a reader across the Atlantic who got a red cake at the end of it. caramel filled hi hat cupcakes Or pure sugar.

When I started this blog back in 2008, it was just a hobby that I really enjoyed. Never in my dreams would I have imagined what was to come. In March of 2011, I left my full time job and career in the city which allowed me to give my 100% to Skinnytaste and spend more quality time with my baby. It was scary and exciting at the same time, but I wouldn 't change a thing! And to my surprise, Skinnytaste even won some awards this year! So now it's time to do my yearly round up of your favorite recipes for 2011.

For some girls its shoes, handbags but of late for me its lovely pretty little tea sets.
