Candy Land Cake

Candy Land was one of the first board games I ever got as a child and it brought fantasies of a world made out of candy, and this cake by Taste of Home brings that dream to life.   If you have a Candy Land lover to bake for and willing to risk going into a sugar high, they have a tutorial on how you can make this cake at home  here.

Candyland Board Game Turned Into Real Life Garden

I remember playing the game Candyland as a kid and thinking it would be a cool place to live, and Craftster user KandeeCorner did just that by turning her garden into a real-life Candy Land game!

This was the 2nd runner up entry into this month's Crafter Challenge to of "Total Board Game Revamp" and it is amazing.

It consists of 17 little micro-gardens and she indicates:

"Each little micro garden matches the board game (more or less). They have a theme, smell, color and -where I could a taste made with interspersing herbs (lemon balm in the yellow garden), Licorice in the purple one, etc."

I saw this over at Dollar Store Crafts  and love the idea - even better it is made with an old T-shirt, a hot glue gun, scissors, ribbon and dollar store critter - no sewing required!   This would be perfect to take when running errands with children to keep them occupied.
