Picnic in the snow....

Oops I forgot I had not put my Winnie the Pooh cake on my blog.  One of my really talented friends who has her own business doing party planning and a variety of other fun stuff asked me to do a Winnie the Pooh cake. She was planning a baby shower.....so here is the cake....

By the way if you wanna check out my friends awsome blog...it is http://insweetviolets.com/blog/

"Quack, Quack." said the little duckie.

I have had a very busy week of working,baking and drawing. Trying to fit in everything before im off to Florida:) I will be gone for 1 week so hopefully there will be lots of sunshine. One of our things to do in florida is go and find different sprinkles and decorations for cupcakes and cakes for my frien. They dont seem to have the range of decorations that we have...she is from England. Below is some of my creations for a friends Baby Shower. The cricut cake came in handy while cutting out the ducks:).....I LOVE my cricut cake.

New cake pop stand

I have been researching cake pop stands...still on my quest to find cheap reusable cake pop stand that looks good. Here is a one that I have found which I really liked. It is from Wilton and works pretty well. The one and only con is that the bottom holders are too short so the cake pop stick slips through when you pick it up...hope that makes sense. It still is great and I definitely will use it alot.

And I thought I would add this sweet picture given to me. Julia knows I love cupcakes...so she said we were having a cupcake picnic:)

  

T-Mobile Treats

Thanks again to my wonderful cricut cake that helped me with the alphabet. These are chcolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for T-Mobile. I must admit that the frosting was a little thin but still worked well as all I needed to do was attach the fondant. My own writing on the pink square was very shaky:)

Love is in the air...

Sorry this post is late.....Valentines day cupcakes. These were apple caramel cupcakes, I say were because by now they are in someones tummy. I loved playing around with the decorations on these and also had fun with the cricut cake cutting out the small pink hearts. I sent some to my work with my hubby and they enjoyed them:) Well this week brings more challenges....T-Mobile cupcakes, I will be turning to the cricut cake for that one. i will also be having some fun doing something for a baby shower.

New edition to the family

I am so excited:) I bought a cricut cake mini. I tried it with the icing sheets that you can buy from Wilton but I didn't  like the texture and taste. I decided to use the pre-made fondant. (I still need to try and make my own out of marshmallows) I colored it pink,rolled it out and put in in the freezer so that it would be more firm. It worked like a charm....I LOVE this machine. Here are three pics i took during the process.

I will post my Valentines day cupcakes and cake pops tomorrow sometime.

Party time

I had so much fun doing these Sesame Street cake pops.(not as good as Bakerellas:) but pretty good for my first try) I made these for a friends daughters school valentines day party.  These cake pops were very forgiving:) Once dipped it didn't matter if there were any lumps, bumps or cracks as I had to make the "fur" on the outside. I tried to experiment with a few different things...using fondant and bought eyes for the eyes. Then using icing and food color pens for the pupils of the eyes. I used two different types of candy melts the Wilton and then AWESOME and AMAZING candy melt from a party store called Dawns candy melts...it was so nice and thin and easy to work with. I can tell you that from now on I will not be buying Wilton candy melts...sorry Wilton.
