Witch Hat Cake

Hello Everyone:
I hope you all are surviving Hurricane Sandy. Being in the NE we have had mostly wind today, however; it is raining since early this afternoon but nothing like I am seeing on TV. I hope all of you are safe. With that being said, on to the reason I am posting.

Halloween is upon us so to celebrate I made a Witch Hat Cake. I actually think it turned out pretty cool. I am happy to be able to add this to my portfolio of cakes that I have learned to make!!!

If this is your first time visiting my blog, please leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.  Until next time.....Happy Baking!!!

Halloween Cookies

Hello Everyone:

Just a quick post today for Halloween. I went to a class and we made these spider web cookies....not bad for the first time doing them.  The spiders are made out of fondant...I think they turned out pretty cool. Enjoy!! Until next time..Happy Baking!!

Fall cookies

Hello Everyone:
I absolutely love the Fall with all it beautiful colors. Not only did I make a cake to celebrate Fall, as seen in the post below, a week later I decided it was time to make some Fall cookies. So I pulled out my Wilton Fall Leaves cookie cutter set and some new plaque cookie cutters that I got from www.KarensCookies.net and started to bake away. I ended up with some pretty nice looking cookies. Enjoy and until next time....Happy Baking!!!

Fall Harvest Cake

Well once again we are being FORCED into using things we do not like...example the new blogger interface....HATE IT>>>>Looks like I will eventually be going to wordpress. For the ones that like this new blogger interface....good for you....the rest of us HATE< HATE< HATE it!!! ENOUGH SAID>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That wasn't the reason I wanted to post. Fall is officially here so I thought a cake celebrating fall in some way was appropriate....actually, this cake is going to church with me in the morning for an after church get together...anyway just wanted to show everyone and celebrate the beautiful colors of the fall season!!! Until next time... Happy Baking!!!

Gift Box Cake

Hello Everyone!!!
Haven't posted in a while so I thought it was about time. My husband's birthday is tomorrow...September 7th...yep he will be 67 years old...how old does that make me??....I'm not telling anyone....anyway as I said before I go to cake classes with a wonderful group of ladies...lots of fun. This last class we made a gift box cake so I thought since it was so close to my hubby's birthday this cake would be especially for him. I made a Red Velvet Cake and this is buttercream icing...YUMMY!!!! The only thing I would do different next time would be to tint the icing where the bow is the same color as the bow so you could not really tell the icing is there. But I remedied that with pastel sprinkles(after I took this picture..of course)!!! 
 Anyway..here is how it turned out. Not too shabby for an amature!!! Until next time.....Happy Baking!!!

Rainbow Cupcake Cake

Hello Everyone:

This past weekend I had the pleasure of learning how to use an airbrush(an item which I will at some point in time be purchasing). I love how it makes your cupcakes or cakes look. We did a cupcake cake(a great idea for a kids party)and made it look like a rainbow. My rainbow isn't quite the shape that it should be but it was close. This is what mine looks like...until next time...thanks for stopping by and "Happy Baking".

Beach Themed Cookies

Hi Everyone!!

My daughter and her friends left today for a week at the beach. As a surprise for them I thought I would make them some cookies to eat on the way or when they get there. Since they were going to the beach, I chose to do a set of beach themed cookies. At the time I decided to do these I did not have the flip flop cutter so someone suggested to me that I use the foot cutter and that way I could paint the toes and make an outline of the flip flop...what a great idea!! and we all know how teenagers love to paint their toe nails and wear flip flops in the summer...so this is the set I created for them...Enjoy looking and until next time....Happy Baking!!!!
