It's time to celebrate......

the first anniversary of Gollum's Foodie Friday.
According to the gift table...paper is the traditional gift to give.




A paper couture ensemble could be the way to go.
Starting with a frock,
mini or.......

maxi with a grand statement.

You can never go wrong with the basic black and white.

These definitely have a slash of pizazz.

Shoes are a must.
Heels or......

a wedge is the question.

What goes best with a paper couture dress and shoes?

A paper necklace of course.
Balls or......

beads, would be the perfect finishing touch.

A Foodie Friday anniversary wouldn't be complete without a little foodie fun.

In keeping with the paper tradition, I found this box of Vera Bradley Stationary the inspiration for my edible stationary.

First I needed paper, which came in the form of Fillo sheets.

A few squares were cut with a pizza cutter and some were cut with pinking scissors.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find my variety pack of fancy edged scissors.
Ideally they would've been my first choice.



The Wilton Food Writers are great for small rubber stamps.

Make up sponges and (gel) food coloring covered more surface area.

The Fillo needs to be covered (at all times) with a damp towel to prevent from drying out.

Usually each sheet is brushed with melted butter, but I just sprayed a little vegetable oil before baking.

The baking time was a short 4 minutes at 325 degrees.
I left a few edges curled to produce an old scroll effect.
The tea dye color after baking reminded me of a vintage parchment.
I would like to try this with my French script stamps...a Parisian postcard of sorts.

Now that the stationary is complete with a special message,
it's time to create a dessert to
embellish.

Bananas Foster with......

Disaronno, in place of the rum.

Paula Deen Bananas Foster-recipe
I added a little half & half to make it creamier,
I highly recommend it.
