We made some lovely nature themed biscuits, leaf shapes and snails. The colours didn’t come out very well, next time I’ll try gel colours! But you get the idea. I love the inspiration that can come from certain themes. We cut leaf shapes with a knife and rolled up sausages to make our colourful snails.

You may remember a few weeks ago I shared a fantastic Summer Holiday workbook that Harveys Furniture have create to inspire families to get creative, you can see the workbook here. They tasked me to make something creative with a nature theme and instantly I thought of leaf shaped biscuits, it is nearly autumn after all and they are good shapes for biscuits!
