Tinkerbell cupcakes

These are for Alexandra's Tinkerbell birthday party. Her mom ordered a cake (see above) and 24 mini cupcakes. I LOVE these slipper cupcakes! Made with fondant, I just took a shot in the dark and it worked. The wands are just okay, and the flower ones below match the cake. But the slippers... LOVE.

Mom's Birthday Cake


Mom's birthday cake made at the last minute.  Effective for 4 people and tasted great, but the lettering.  Man, the lettering.  Note to self: PRACTICE!

Sam's Birthday - The Clone Wars


This is the Clone Wars cake featuring Captain Rex for Sam's 9th Birthday.   The top of the cake ended up better than I thought, but again the lettering leaves something to be desired (the Happy Birthday part).  The SAM is actually created using a Star Wars font that I traced out.  The sides are adorned with stars and rocket ships.  

Totally awkward angle on the cake, but the cake IS flat and not uneven!  But I wanted to show the side images with the stars!

Cake Class 2 Finale

We've been making these dang flowers for weeks now in class, and tonight we finally got to use them. We started out by making this basketweave pattern and the rope border. It doesn't look so nice close up. I'm seeing many flaws here!

And here is the basket full of flowers.

And an aerial shot of the flowers.

Mini Cupcakes

Had some leftover cake batter for cake class next week and made mini cupcakes with them. Bite size deliciousness.

Cookie Pops - Chicks


Cookies Pops for the spring season - little chicks. I had a great idea to do this, and then once I started pulling it together everything fell apart. Seriously bummed at how they turned out. Plus, I made too many and had left overs.
