Q: Frost or ice the cupcake with frosting of choice and add fresh strawberries:  Add a whole strawberry or half a strawberry. Either stand up the strawberry or lay on its side. Add a strawberry fan. Cut a strawberry into a fan shape and arrange on the frosting or icing fanned out. Cut the real strawberry into a shape, such as a heart shape. Dip real strawberries in chocolate, allow to set and place on the cupcakes. Frost or ice each cupcake and add a strawberry figure to each one.  Once mixed to a decent consistency, add to the cupcakes as usual. Pipe small melted chocolate "pips" across the red surface at even spaces. Add a green candy leaf or green fondant leaf at the "top" of the strawberry.
A: Make a fresh strawberry topping. Mold a strawberry using red fondant, sugar paste or marzipan. Add an edible strawberry candy to the frosting or icing. Add pureed strawberry to the icing sugar or confectioners sugar. Ice or frost the cupcakes with strawberry red cupcakes.

Q: As you’re planning your garden, spend a clear day watching the way the sun travels across your yard. Every hour or so, take note of which areas are in the sun, and which are shaded. Then, pick one of the sunniest spots as the location for your garden. Butterflies are cold-blooded, so they require sunlight to warm them up throughout the day. If the butterflies are exposed to high winds, they’ll spend most of their energy just trying not to get blown around. Place your butterfly garden near a wall, a fence, or a wooded area to help them conserve energy so they can eat and lay their eggs. For example, if you have a shed and your area is frequently subjected to cold north winds, you could place your garden on the south side of the shed. The butterflies will have an easier time reaching their food if you arrange your plants from shortest to tallest, almost like stair steps. Place larger bushes and shrubs in the back, with shorter flowers in the very front. If you don’t have room to plant shrubs, try placing an arbor with vines near the back of your garden. Butterflies are pretty small, but they prefer big clumps of flowers. Try to group your flowers together in large masses. The butterflies will be able to see the garden from a distance, and you’ll get more visitors to enjoy. It’s fine to include different, non-butterfly plants in your garden. However, try to keep the flowers close together, as this will make feeding easier for the butterflies. To make the most of your butterfly display, research what time of year each plant will bloom. Then, create sections out of the plants with the same flowering window so you’ll have bright groups of blooms opening at about the same time.  For instance, if some of your plants open in the late spring and others will bloom into the early fall, you could group your spring plants on one side of the garden, and your late-bloomers on the other side. If you have a small garden, you might not need to section it off.
A: Choose a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Pick a location that’s sheltered from strong wind. Place the shorter plants in front with taller varieties in back. Plant your flowers in large groups. Group flowers that will bloom at the same time.

Q: Using a paper towel (or a cloth towel that you can discard), press down on the spot where your cat urinated to blot up the liquid. Repeat this method until the area is mostly dry.  If the spot has happened a while ago, you can skip this step. If you have a blacklight, you can use this to find old, dried cat urine. You can purchase an enzyme-based cleaner specifically formulated for pet stains in many pet stores and online. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Most pet enzyme cleaners can be applied liberally to the affected area and left to dry completely. If the enzyme product did not completely remove the smell, you can try using a vinegar solution. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water and apply this to the affected area. Vinegar will further breakdown the smell and help it to dissipate. Pour the vinegar solution directly onto the soiled area. Using a scrub brush, work the vinegar solution into the stain. Use a paper towel or old rag to blot up as much of the mixture as you can. Allow the area to dry completely, then assess if the stain is cleaned, or if further action is necessary.
A: Blot up the urine if it's still wet. Use an enzyme-based cleaner. Create a vinegar solution from equal parts vinegar and water. Scrub the vinegar into the stain. Allow the vinegar solution to sit for 10-15 minutes, then blot.

Q: When possible, mount floating shelves on your walls to hold lightweight items like books, figurines, and small electronics. For bulkier items like musical instruments and potted plants, see if you can hang them by attaching adhesive hooks or anchor screws to the wall. Bulky items like pots and pans can take up a lot of unnecessary space in your kitchen cabinets. To fix this, try hooking them onto a wall-mounted pot rack or similar device. This will open up a lot of extra space for heavier and more fragile items. Instead of a professional pot rack, try purchasing a large pegboard. This will allow you to arrange your supplies in any way you see fit, conserving space in the long run. In many cases, concealed or walk-in pantries take up a lot of room they don’t need to. Creating an open-faced pantry with a free standing or wall mounted shelf system will better utilize the available space while encouraging you to pare down and organize the supplies you already have. Instead of using it to store food, keep bulky and non-perishable supplies in your pantry. Even if a room is perfectly organized, it may still feel cramped and uncomfortable to live in. Thankfully, there are some ways to rectify this without taking up more room:  Floor to ceiling curtains will create long lines along the wall, making your house look taller. Large mirrors will act like a portal to another room, making the area seem deeper. The color of your walls can alter how large or small your house looks. To make a room appear bigger, paint the walls a bright or pastel color. In addition, cover any wall trimmings in an even lighter shade of paint, creating a subtle contrast that makes objects look further apart. Some good color choices include:  Off-white Beige Baby blue Pastel green
A:
Store items high on the wall. Install a pot rack in your kitchen to hold cooking supplies. Create an open-faced pantry to free up useful space. Hang up drapes and mirrors to create the illusion of space. Paint your room with light or contrasting colors to make it look bigger.
