Cupcake Bags at Sunnybank
The craft club group at Sunnybank Day Centre had their cake and ate it today.
Using these lovely bags that Susan got from a pound shop they firstly coloured in some cupcake stickers using felt pens. Then after cutting around the shapes and using foam stickers on the back we glued them to the pink card strip, then attached the strip to the back of the bag. Are'nt they pretty.
The group were then given a cupcake each to put in their bags.
You can see how happy Lily was with the result.
The morning would not have been complete without some of Susan's famous facts and today she stuck to the subject in hand. CAKES
1. Cakes have been around for centuries in one form or another, it was originally a flattened hard bread.
2. In Roman times eggs and butter were added to give it a softer consistency.
3. A medieval Epiphany cake would feature live birds and frogs bursting out of it.
4. A burial cake was kept close to the head of the dead person and you had to have a piece of cake in your mouth when you looked at the body.
5. It was said that if you made your own wedding cake that you would work for the rest of your life.
6. Prince William and Kate's wedding cake had eight tiers with 17 different blooms of flowers on.
7. Originally cupcakes were so called as ingredients were measured by the cupful.
Believe what you will of Susan's famous facts, we never know whats true and what's made up

Salt & Pepper Pot Table Arrangements
Look what we made at Sunnybank Day Centre Craft Club
We used salt & pepper pots that I got from Wilkinsons for £1.50 set, cake decorating sugar balls, a bit of knitting wool, some imitation flowers, a cut up crotchet mat and some paper flowers and butterflies. http://www.wilko.com/
Everyone was delighted with their little vase
Susan gave us some of her wonderful factoids, this week they were about AUGUST.
Birthstone - Peridot. Flower - Gladioli & Poppy.
The Anglo Saxons called it Weed Month as its the month when weeds grow most rapidly.
1st August is Lammas day marking the beginning of harvest.
Why shouldnt you tell a secret on a farm ?
Because the corn has ears and the potatoes have eyes.
6th August 1762 - The Earl of Sandwich asked for meat to be served between slices of bread hence the sandwich was invented.
13th August 1941 - last person to be hanged at the Tower of London
(also my birthday, not the year just the day)
28th August 1963 - Martin Luther King made his famous "I have a dream" speech
