Anyone for a "slice of cake"?

Hello:

Today was a fun day. I made this cake in the class I go to on Saturday morning. We have a lot of fun as a group and the lady that teaches us, who by the way; owns the business where we go..is absolutely wonderful and has a lot of patience...she has to with our group!!! Anyway, this cake was so much fun to do that I just wanted to share it with you..I think it would make a great top tier to any birthday or anniversary cake...what do you think???

Sketches

Hello Everyone..
I know I haven't posted anyting in a few weeks but I have been busy(as is everyone else). I thought I would show you the sketches of my ideas for decorating wedding cookies that I am doing for a customer in May. I am so excited to be doing these!!! I really hope she likes them(I'm sure she will). The color theme is the very elegant black and white...so of course, the cookies are going to be basecoated in white icing with all the details being done in black. I was thinking of using a black edible food marker instead of the black icing(we all know how black icing looks on the teeth)!! I am not sure though. I am going to do an experiment this coming week using both the black icing and the edible food marker..then I will decide. Here are the sketches...

Easter Cake!!

Hello Everyone!!!

Since Easter is only a few days away I thought I would share with you the cake I made at a recent class. I have taken the Wilton Courses(about a year ago)so it has been a while since I have done the basketweave technique for decorating. Where I take my classes now is at a cake supply store and it is really fun and the lady(Michele)who teaches the classes is terrific..anyway she teaches a new class every month and I have met so many nice people. The cake was actually made in two class sessions. The first session was making the figures out of gumpaste and fondant. So the lamb, bunny and chick you see on the cake are these figures. The following week we had to make a cake and bring it to class. So we decorated the cake with the basketweave technique and the flowers then we added our little figures to it and added a handle(which is not edible..made out of chenille)and here you have it...a cake made to look like an Easter basket....I think it turned out rather cute..don't you??  Till next time....Happy Easter and thanks for stopping by!!!

Bunny Cake Pops!!!

I missed posting this last week so I will do it now.  There is a cake supply store not to far from me and the lady holds classes...well last Saturday we did cake pops for Easter...and here is what they look like...I had so much fun doing these...I have made cake pops but haven't ventured into making them these fancy so it was a learning experience for me....as always, I had fun making them and I want to share them with you...Until next time.....

Spring/Easter Cookies

I know it's been a few weeks since I posted any cookie pictures so I guess today is as good a day as any to post some....I had an opportunity to do some Spring/Easter cookies this past weekend just for practice. I'm really trying to get it to the point of perfection. I still need to practice a little more on filling in my cookies. I got the outlining almost down pat...just need a little more practice with that. I know they are not perfect, but they really got me in the mood for Spring and Easter...how about you???  Oh, I know I still need to post Valentine cookies, but that will be another day...

Newest Cookies

Hi Everyone!!!
I know I haven't posted any cookies in a while. I have a friend who was seriously hurt in a car accident last week and is in a rehabilitation center for a few weeks. I went to see her today. Instead of taking the regular flowers or candy or stuffed animals, I decided I would bring her some homemade cookies. She was really happy with them!!

Now I don't have a lot of cookie cutters in my collection(not yet, anyway)so I decided to use what I have. I used an ice cream cutter(cause ice cream makes anyone feel better anytime)!!!, a rainbow(just brings happiness no matter what) and a square cookie cutter(valentine envelope)on which I wrote sayings....and here is what she got!!!  Thanks to Adrienne from Have a cookie for the recipe used!!!!

Virtual Baby Shower

In case some of you didn't already know this, we have some pretty talented cookie decorators in this world. If you want to see what I am talking about just go to: flourboxbakery.com and click on the tidbits tab and you will see exactly what I mean. These ladies drew names for fairy tale characters and made cookies for a "baby shower" surrounding their particular character. I was so impressed by all of them that I can't stop talking about it!!  I have even pinned all of them to my boards which you can see here: www.pinterest.com/SugarFairy1 under Fairy Tale cookies. It is an inspiration to be among them and to listen to what they have to say about doing their cookies. They are a fine group of ladies and I am happy to "know" them through networking.
