Spider-Man Cake

Sometimes I feel like I eat, sleep, dream CAKES! I am always trying to think of a cool design to try. Since my son adores Spider-Man I decided to give it a go. The cake seems simple enough - the biggest challenge was the shape. Since I didn't have an oval cake pan I had to figure out how to make an oval out of a circle.

I cut a section out of the middle of each cake layer, about 1.5" wide and set those pieces aside. I slid the two sides together on each cake to make ovals. However, the ovals weren't long enough to pass as a face, so I turned the cakes a quarter turn, then cut then in half. I separated the two halves and reinserted sections of the pieces I removed earlier. I was able to make longer ovals this way.

Once the shape was done, the rest was CAKE!! This was a red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream frosting covered in fondant. The only thing I cared about was the big smile on my son's face when I showed him! I love making my boys smile!!

Bachelorette Party Cookies

Finished up cookies favors for a Bachelorette party. Congratulations Lea!! These are always fun to make. If you are interested in a picture of the cookies send me an email cookiesbythebunch@gmail.com. The cookies were made using a modified dog bone cookie cutter...so use your imagination!

Paintball Cookies!

I made these cookies for a paintball birthday bash. It was a surprise party for when the crew came back from the paintball battle field. I loved how these turned out. The cookies with the paint splatters have a gumball to mimic a paintball. I had to improvise on the gun cookie since I didn't have a cookie cutter on hand. Instead of stenciling again, I ended up using a baseball cap cookie cutter. I turned it upside down and cut out a "v" shape from the bottom and added it to the top to make the ball carriage. Turned out perfect! The bandit guy is actually made from a football cookie cutter. These were so much fun!! Thanks!
