It’s nice to know that there will be plenty of rhubarb in my garden from spring to the end of summer. The one recipe that I often make with it is Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp. It came together from bits and pieces of different recipes found over the years and as a result, the combination is sweet, tart, tender, and crispy. With the addition of ice cream will make it even more delicious.
Summer for us is celebrating lots of birthdays. These toppers are such a nice and simple addition to cakes, cupcakes and other treats. Here are a few ideas to stimulate your creativity.
Pom-poms are always fun to make and add to decorations. Follow the steps below to create mini pom-poms.
Supplies:
crepe paper streamers
twine
white lollipop sticks {2} / kabob sticks
Cut streamer to the length of 12 inches. Fold it in half, again and again until it’s about an inch and a half long. Along the open edges, make small clips with scissors towards the center leaving about a 1/2 inch in the middle uncut. Take a piece of twine and tie it up in the middle. Once secured, take your fingers and scrunch it up lightly and a pom-pom is finished.

The last few steps: Take two long pieces of twine and twist them into one and tie the ends to the two lollipop sticks. Tie the pom-poms to the twine attached to the sticks and clip off the extra twine from the pom-poms. Here’s the cake topper that I created. I hope you will have fun making them.
