Holli's Cake

This is the cake I made for Holli's birthday this week. She's 27, so I went for 2 spiral candles and 7 twinkle pops on the top. I'm still working on my cake penmanship, which leaves something to be desired. I liked the concept of this cake, however, and enjoy the craziness of it.

Valentine's Cupcakes

After only a few months after my cake class, I already forgot the technique that I was trying to use for these cupcakes. So they are totally boring and regularly iced. Boo.

Peppermint Bark

I LOVE homemade peppermint bark!  (Too much actually.)  So this is just a super small batch to fuel my craving without going overboard.  Peppermint bark is extremely easy to make.  Crush up candy canes or peppermints and then melt white chocolate chips in the microwave.  Mix the crushed peppermint with the melted white chocolate and then spread the mixture onto a wax paper sheet.  Let cool for about 5-10 minutes and BAM - peppermint bark! 

Inauguration Cookies

Inauguration cookies!  I was so pumped I brought these into the office.  I love doing the zig-zag effect on cookies... almost to a fault.  Then the bottom ones are suppose to be eagles, but the zig-zag ruined the shape (see, I told you I loved the zig-zags to a fault). 

 

Lots of Love

Loving these! Not only were they delish, but the pink icing and pink sprinkles were the right amount of fun :) Click on the photo below to check out the lighting off of the sprinkles. Love! Can't wait to come up with some more Valentine's themed cookies/cakes. What a fun holiday!

Mickey Mouse

Where have I been?  Still baking, just forgetting to take photos of the creations!   At Disney I bought the very cool Mickey Mouse cookie cutter and had a go at it this weekend.  I'm having a hard time making black icing and so the black ran a little.  I heard they were pretty good, even though they look kind of goofy (pun intended).
