We’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day and Shabbat by making love bug challah rolls. These cuties are extra simple to make too by using frozen bread dough rolls, and their adorable shape comes from baking them in a muffin tin! You’re invited to make them too with your own little love bugs!
We’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day by making mini bundt cakes topped with edible flowers. These little cakes are so so pretty, and perfect for celebrating a day of love, especially because they’re pink or “varod” in Hebrew! Come bake some with us!
I loved creating a very crafty “arty party” birthday for an adorable 4 year old girl. She was imagining Peppa Pig and her brother George too. I made adorable craft kits for all her friends, each with two crafts - a handmade necklace and Peppa’s house! This is a sweet theme for a birthday, or even a special party to celebrate friendship, family and love (think Valentine’s Day or Tu B’Av - the Jewish day of love)! Come take a look!
Today I’m making special Valentines (Galentines!) for my girlfriends - sweet bracelets on a thread with 13 seed beads! Not only does the number 13 have special significance to the Hebrew word for love (Ahavah), a red string bracelet is also known in mystical Judaism to bring protection and luck, so these simple bracelets pack a lot of power! Whether you are making one for yourself or several for friends, we share the tutorial to make your own!
To get ready for Tu B’ Av (the Jewish Day of Love), we’re thinking of all the Jewish things we love, and one thing that makes our heart flutter is Challah on Shabbat! We love baking challah and making challah baby necklaces too - especially when they’re all wrapped up in a dainty challah cover. Come make one with us!
With so much love in the air this month, we wanted to celebrate the love of family and friends this Shabbat with heart-shaped challah-pops! Little cakes on a stick are just so cute, and they’re so easy too! So let’s go make some Challah Heart-Pops!
We think it’s important everyday to remind special people in our lives (family and friends) that we love them. For children, leaving love notes on a pillow, making a pancake or a sandwich in the shape of a heart, We made our friends a very special puffy heart necklace for a special playdate! They’re so simple and happy, come make one too!
