MAX'S MAGICAL GARDEN :: CUSTOMER PARTY

When Melanie from Mermade Designs sent me these photos of her son's Magical Garden Party, I knew I had to show you.
She used the Down in the Garden printable collection and really made it her own.

Grass table top, check. Moss, check. Cute toadstools and trees, check!
Melanie and her mum made all the food (including my family's favourite Jelly Slice!) She also made lots of the decorations like the bunting and the trees above the food table.

To see more photos and read more about Max's birthday take a look at Melanie's blog. Thanks for sharing Melanie!

RECIPE :: JELLY SLICE

Okay, so you asked for it! I have been given official permission to share the family recipe of Jelly Slice with you. Feeling privileged? It's a trusty menu number that gets pulled out at our place at any opportunity. It's not an overly glamourous dessert, but boy does it taste delicious!


Jelly Slice

Base:

8oz crushed sweet biscuits (ie. Marie, Milk Arrowroot)

60z melted butter

Mix and press into slice tin

Middle:

1 tin condensed milk

1/2 c. lemon juice

3/4 c. boiling water

2 Dstsp gelatine (sprinkle over water before adding to mixture)

Mix and pour on base. Refridgerate

Top:

1 strawberry jelly box

3/4 pint only boiling water

When cool put on top of set middle and chill. 

Kind of like an easy cheesecake. The great thing about this slice is the top layer can be made any colour to match you party. The traditional is red, but we have done green for St Paddy's day, Aqua for Levi's party, Navy for the nautical theme (added food colouring to blueberry jelly) and the list goes on. For pastel shades, try this product with just a tiny bit of colouring.

Happy baking, and Happy Weekend! x
