Tickle Your Tongue With Tiger Bark

I’ve have to stop doing food designs. First I craved a latte. Now I am craving all things peanut butter. It was hard to choose a favorite recipe for this weeks Spoonflower design challenge. Design wise, I thought it best to select something simple, with short instructions. This is one of my favorite treats to make for Christmas gift giving.

Melt white chocolate, mix in peanut butter, top with a drizzle of chocolate. Ba da Bing. And try hard not to eat it all, while you wrap it up.

Wishing you an awesome day and a terrific weekend!

Is there a recipe you make, that is always requested? What favorite would you like to see in a design? Hmm, would it be dessert, or a savory main dish? I wonder. 🤔 I’d love to hear from you. 🙂

Feeling Fika Fine – Spoonflower Design Challenge

The design theme this week is Swedish Fika. Fika is a coffee and cake break, but is much more than that. Fika is a state of mind. An attitude and an important part of Swedish culture. It is considered almost essential to make time for fika every day. And often, several times a day. It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat.

This design came together fairly quickly. A nice surprise. I delayed starting, sure that I could not pull it off. Doubting myself.

I had fun creating the treats and Latte. For the dishware I used a pattern I created a few years ago. It has the colors of the Swedish flag and seemed a perfect fit.

I added shadows and highlights to add dimension to the treats, and china. That took some finagling, but was fun to do.

Voting is open now through the 27th. Thanks so much for taking a look. 🙂

I am so grateful I have had the energy to take part in the design challenges while also painting each day for the 30-Day Creative Gathering. I’ve had to sneak in a nap a few times, but I am managing. 😉😉🙏
