The Dollarama Garden

Wow Dollarama, could you get any better? Take a look at what I found at Dollarama! Plastic Tarp Planting mats; perfect for the trunk or pot holding area. Pop-up mini green houses for spring or fall, seeder pots, mini seed starting green houses. My goodness bulbs, bulbs and more bulbs. The had peacock lilies, dahlias, glads and more. I checked the bulbs and they seemed to be correct. I bought some dahlias from them last year and I started them in a pot near my window. They also had a large box of wild/mixed flower seeds, great for covering a large area or making seed bombs! 
If anyone has tried any of these products or bulbs, let me know, how was it, what did you do? What would you do? What was the quality like? Thoughts! Share them!
Look at all these bulbs! I should have bought one of each and made a Dollarma-test garden. Only $2.00 a bag. The smaller bulb bags had almost 6-10 bulbs in each! What? Where do they get this stuff?
Jiffy Fiber Pots, Wildflower Mix and a Seeder Tray.
You really can do a lot with items from the dollar store. They also sell, 
tomato stakes, bamboo poles and terra-cota pots.
The two dahlias I started, $2.00 each.

Cambodian-Rainbow Cake!

I made this great (tasting) cake for my friend Alec's birthday and send-off to Cambodia. It's a almond-vanilla rainbow cake with marshmallow fondant, a chocolate-rice-crispy Angkor Wat, Orchid flowers, a elephant and tooth-pick umbrellas! Let me tell you... it was devoured!
With gel icing, I wrote Happy Birthday in Khmer (Cambodian).
