APRIL 2021 THEME - SWEET TREATS

Yay! A theme I can certainly relate to.........image.png
While many people were learning new skills during lockdown, I was discovering new sweet treats......not cooking them, just eating them. Some of which I will share this month, along with my other favourites.
 
Many of my most favourite memories of my mother's cooking involve 'sweet treats'.  Melting moments, coconut jam drops, lemon pudding, six inch tall, double sponges filled with cream and dusted on top with icing sugar and strawberry jelly cakes.  I remember the first marble cake; being so intrigued by the marbled chocolate, pink and vanilla  all in one cake....I thought my mother was a magician...how could she get all the colours to appear like that???..
     
 On the rare occasion when I went grocery shopping with my Mum and Grandma, I was allowed to buy one or two lollies. I usually chose two green  frogs (not the red ones...haha). I could get two for 8 cents, in those days
  

Today, there is such a wide variety of  sweet treats....and doesn't everything taste better, when covered in chocolate?...haha
Please join me this month in sharing some faves, both old and new.

Our colour of the month (CoM) is black. Some may say that this is rather boring or a non-colour, but I think black makes the pastels pop, the brights pop and the stripes positively sparkle.  :))

You said it, Patricia.   The two variegated yarns worked in stripes is really tasty, Chris.   Please, sir, more!

I'm struggling to think of blue sweet treats so I'm intrigued to see what you come up with, Gloria. Black for liquorice is inspired. (Having said that I've just realised Marion did it last time round!)

Growing up one of my favorite candies was Watermelon Jolly Ranchers.  They came in other flavors, but everyone loved the watermelon.  They were very hard so you had to keep them in your mouth a loooooonnnnnng time.This blanket was going to have another purpose, but alas, I ran out of the color I needed to finish it.  So KAS gets a larger rainbow blanket.  The center has a faux popcorn stitch giving it some texture.

This theme is going to be so much fun...  We get to learn about Sweet Treats from different parts of the world.
