A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

-Proverbs 31:10-11,30

Guest:Gabi~Potted Plants :)

This doesn't really count as a tutorial because you can probably deduce what you need to do, just by looking at it :)
But here is a quick tut anyway...
What you will need:
Some flower pots (I used metal because that is what I had, but I think clay/ceramic pots would look AMAZING)
Cake mix - the recipe I used is here. 
[Katelyn: If you don't have an oven, try the microwave chocolate cake in paper cups! Decorate them to look like flower pots.]
Chocolate frosting - I melted about 300g of chocolate and mixed in a few tablespoons of cream, then I let it set (but I left mine a little bit too long)


Pour your cake mixture into the flower pots and bake them according to the recipe.
Then pipe out the frosting.
I originally didn't want to spread the chocolate (as you can see I piped it) BUT because I had left the chocolate to cool for too long it looked a little bit too much like poop:)
So I spread it out and inserted my paper flowers.
I must admit I rushed this a little (I really just wanted to eat the cake:), hence the lack of photos, but if you made an effort with the flower decorations you could use this at a garden party/wedding theme.

:)
