I make heart shaped biscuits I can place in my hubby and kids lunch boxes as a treat! And usually do cupcakes or dessert as another sweet treat for them.

Our first wedding anniversary is the 12th so I need ideas for that

Biccie recipe please

[Emwill]

It's the same reciepe that I used for my Christmas cookies It isn't an overly ginger tasting gingerbread (my kids love them but usually hate ginger), but you can even leave the ginger out and just use a little mixed spice and vanilla.
Gingerbread Recipe:
125g butter (half a block)
1/2 cup brown sugar firmly packed
I egg
- cream all these together till light and fluffy, then add
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp bi-carb soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp mixed spice
3 tbs golden syrup
- Mix well and bring together as a dough.
- roll out and cut shapes on baking paper and cook for 10 min at 180 deg.

Icing 1 egg white mixed with pure icing sugar till stiff but spreadable.

She is amazing, she has been planning for days and going over meals. We have decided a spaghetti bol, homemade, may be best, (easy too make and the other kids can have some earlier)

We have to eat ours afterwards apparantly.
after she sets the table and the other kids go do stuff LOL

[safarifun]

I never get flowers so I figure I might just buy myself an embroidery machine... Just to say 'I love you'. Hehe

[safarifun]

FS, what a sweet daughter you have raised. How beautiful! Enjoy your special evening!

[Elves on Rye]

That is so gorgeous FS! Enjoy your special meal tonight
