Spring Cookies

It spring & for dessert on Easter - instead of a real/big dessert (after we all ate too much anyways), I made sugar cookies. It was a three day process.

Thursday - Andy & I mixed the dough

Friday - my mom, niece & Andy rolled out the dough, cut the shapes & baked them

Saturday - I frosted & decorated all the cookies

They are really cute, but not cute enough to not eat. They tasted as good as they look.

I made a Panda cake for Kasey's 1st birthday. My first official paid job, which is exciting. I originally wanted to do something a bit different - but, this is what my customer wanted. It turned out cute.

Daffodil Cake

This is a cake of fondant daffodils for my mom & dad's birthday's.

It turned out super cute.

All of the flowers are hand formed - and took a while to make them.

Everything is edible - except the bow and the toothpicks which act as the center of the flowers.

Very springy cake.

One of my FAVORITES!

Super Mario Bros. Cake

A cake for my nephew's 5th birthday. His birthday theme this year is Mario. I've never played Mario, so ... I got my inspiration from cakes online.

Andy's Safari Birthday

For my son's third birthday - we had a safari theme. I made cupcakes (lions, zebras, elephants and monkeys) for him to bring to preschool and then I made 2 cakes - one was for his actual birthday. The other cake ... I never quite finished. He got the flu, so we had to cancel his birthday party. We did eventually celebrate with the cake ... but, I never actually finished making all the animals to put on the cake. I really loved the cupcakes & they were a BIG hit with the preschoolers! I also LOVED how the lion cake came out ... he was so cute. The cupcakes and lion cake were all buttercream - no fondant, so that made it even more fun. It reminded me of the way my mom used to make all of my birthday cakes.
