This is the best photo I could get from her, but one of my fellow "crafters" has the corner on cakes (You'll see more of her creations when I get her to hand over the photos!)
For Easter, she created this 2 layer white cake, complete with "grass and eggs" and a handle. The handle is not edible. Click the comments link below to see full project details!
How do I keep my fresh cut flowers alive? And does a penny and an aspirin tablet placed in the vase water really do any good?
Some say the combination does keep flowers fresh longer. The theory is that the copper acts a fungicide and the aspirin makes the water more acidic.
Here are more food + acid combinations:
Add one part lemon-lime soda (not diet) to 3 parts water. Then to each quart of this solution, add 1/4 teaspoon bleach. Thereafter, add 1/4 teaspoon bleach after each 4 days of use.
To 1 quart water add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon bleach.
Add 2 ounces Listerine mouthwash per gallon of water. Listerine contains sucrose (food) and a bactericide. Listerine is acidic and is said help water move up the cut stem.

- This cake is made from 2 cakes but one box mix would work as well.
- 2 layers stacked, frosted with white icing, coconut with green food coloring put in center leaving 1 inch radius around edge of cake.
- fill with candy to make it look like center of real easter basket
- Handle was craft foam with ribbon inserted into th sides of the completed cake.
