Bridal Shower

For this shower I took a different approach than the traditional round/square cakes. I decided to do a wedding dress cake with a barbie insert. This cake was 3 tiers, mixture of yellow and chocolate cake. I had a lot of fun with this cake and also learned a new technique of making fondant drapes/swags. The secret weapon is a simple drinking straw. For such a simple technique it sure adds a lot to the cake. I also used some sanding sugar to sparkle up the dress a little! This cake was well received by all the guests and the bride/groom to be! Congrats Melanie & Jimmy!

Elmo & Cookie Monster favors

I received an order for Elmo & Cookie Monster cookie favors for a birthday party. I was so excited to make these because I love elmo and cookie! These were really fun and a little challenging. I used a modified football cookie cutter for these and cut out circle eyes, nose & little cookies (to add a second layer effect). Finished off in little bags with coordinating ribbon....there you have it....cookie favors! Thank you so much Sandra! Hope the birthday girl had a great birthday!

Baby Shower - Cowgirl Theme

Its been awhile since my last post...a couple months back I did a really fun theme for a baby shower - COWGIRL! YEE HAW! Cookie favors were requested. I ended up with a cowgirl hat, boots and bandana cookies. These were so much fun to watch them come to life. I was also so excited to see them as part of the party deco as this host throws one heck of a party!! Thank you Maritza!
