HatchlingCakes 01
Set the oven to 170 degrees and make your cakes; Any cupcake recipe will do! Vanilla creates the nice yellow for the chick but just do whatever you feel like!
04
02
Begin work on the chicks‌ start by rolling out balls of yellow fondant. Decorate the heads with stars of white royal icing (for shells), and more for eyes. I added a dab of red colouring for that newborn glow, and snipped tiny candy hearts in half for the beaks.
03
Place a disk of your yellow fondant on each cupcake, flattening the edges to avoid ridges. Add a larger white fondant disk to cover the cake, having first cut out a star shape in the middle.
04
Secure your chick head in the middle of each cake using edible glue, apricot jam or glaze. Tada!! Job done. Eat all of the leftover cake bits and icing. Feel a bit sick and have a lie down.

SpringCleaning 01
Always begin on the right side of your stove, then move clockwise around the room. The stove is typically the dirtiest part of the kitchen, so ending with it keeps you from spreading dirt and grease.
02
It’s hard to believe, but your dirty kitchen sink has more bacteria than your toilet seat. To disinfect, clean your sink with soap and water first, then spray a mist of vinegar followed by a mist of hydrogen peroxide, and let air-dry.
03
We all know that sponges can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Disinfect yours every night by squeezing it out and microwaving it on high for a minute.
04
Do a 5-minute sweep through each room, taking a laundry basket with you. Place in it anything that doesn’t belong in that room, then put away the stuff that does belong there.

TomatoTips Always grow three or four varieties at least - some will suit your locality better than others, they may be differently susceptible to disease, and you may well prefer the taste of some varieties. Grow your tomatoes in a location that has as much direct sun and shelter from winds as you can. Early in spring (or as late in winter as you dare), sow seeds into Jiffy 7s and pot them on when the first true leaves develop, before planting them out when 20cm tall.
PotatoTips Potatoes like the sunshine. It makes them happy! So make sure your container or bed isn’t in shade. When watering your potatoes, always water to the base of the plants, onto the soil and not the foliage. A trick to make your potatoes grow bigger is to keep an eye on the plant, to see if they if they produce flowers. If they do pinch them out quickly, this will save the plant energy and help focus on tuber production. Creating larger produce
15
CarrotTips Carrot seeds are small, but it’s wise to plant them as thinly as possible. This reduces the amount of thinning necessary and potential risk from pests. Once the seeds have germinated and are showing their first rough leaves, thin the seedlings to 5cm (2 in) between plants From June to July onwards, start pulling up your carrots as soon as they’re big enough to eat. It’s best to harvest them in the evening to avoid attracting carrot fly. The plants need little other attention during their growth period, although the plants should be kept well watered - too little water results in coarse, woody roots. If your soil is not ideally suitable for carrots or parsnips, you can prepare a large container for sowing instead. Then when digging over your soil, do not add any manure as this makes the soil too rich for the seeds.

Once you have done this you see your bird staring to take shape! Dab some glue inside the top of the tube to stick the feather in. Tadaa! You’re done!
