Hope all the Fathers out there are having a wonderful day. We have spent the morning celebrating with the extended family – there were three generations of Fathers present. I have some lamb shanks in the slow cooker (a favourite of my DH) and we will be having a delicious dinner tonight. Sarah is busy at the moment baking up a special dessert.
I always like to give gifts from the kitchen -especially to my Grand-dad and Uncle as they don’t often have home baked treats. I baked up some Anzacs for them and packaged them up in some cute brown paper bags that I bought in Japan. I cut out a bag topper and label with my cricut.
I packaged up some of my dad’s favourite candy in a box that I made to put with his gift. I love being able to cut out tags and boxes on the cricut – it makes packaging up gifts so much fun. It is also a good way to get a creative fix when time is in short supply!
I took a chocolate marble cake to my parents place for morning tea. This cake is a favourite in our family – served with fresh berries and cream – it is delicious, and it always looks impressive when I make it in my rose bundt tin.
I’ve never seen a rose shaped Bundt pan before…so cute! Your packaging is gorgeous as always 🙂
packing looks too good,..
Awesome packaging, i have a big fancy CriCut too but never enough time to use it. Must do so. Love Posie
Everything looks yummy, esp. the packaging. I looked at your anzac recipe and am not quite sure what golden syrup is. ~karen
What wonderful and tasty gifts for the special father’s (men) in your life. My daughter is in NZ right now and she sent her dad a sweet note. Thanks for the recipe too.
You’re killing me!!!
What a wonderful way to celebrate such a special day – surrounded by all those family members. I love all the treats you made, from the delicious dinner in the slow cooker to that decadent marble cake. Enjoy your day!
you had me panic for a minute there thinking I somehow forgot Father’s Day!! So, apparently Father’s Day is celebrated on different days in different countries! 🙂 Also, here in the my small town, The Dalles, OR, USA we have an Australian Tea Parlor, so I get Anzac cookies when I go! In fact, it’s called Anzac Tea Parlor 🙂
