Cupcake Mums

The girls have been begging to help decorate, so we made some cupcake mums together.  It`s a great project to do with kids since they can dip the marshmallows in the different coloured sugars. Then you just add some green licorice for the stems and voila a bouquet of mums.

Daffodil cookies with modelling chocolate

These were really fun to make. I followed a tutorial of this blog  http://www.blossomedge.com/   If you're someone who loves white chocolate than you will love this type of cookie decoration.  The modelling chocolate is quite delicate to work with, but so yummy!

Fun With Flowers
I decided to spend several hours making tiny flowers so that I could just pop them on cookies whenever I felt something a little extra was needed.  So here are some cookies with mini roses.

Fondant Covered Cakes

Here are my cakes with fondant and fondant decorations.  I really like learning how to make the flowers and work with the fondant.  It's actually a little like playing with play dough, and who doesn't love that?

 here is the cake with cookies I designed to coordinate with it. 
 The cookies are decorated with both royal icing and fondant. I wasn't sure if I would like the fondant on the cookies but it tasted great.  Very similar to other icings actually and you can do some really neat effects with it like the flower impressions put into the blue fondant on these cookies.



My Little Pony birthday cake.  She asked for a purple flower pony rainbow cake, so that's what she got :)  

Butter cream decorated cakes
Here are some cakes I have done over the past several years. These cakes are decorated with only butter cream.  Fondant is beautiful but not everyone loves the taste.  Though I must say I find marshmellow fondant very yummy.  So here is some examples of cakes with out fondant.

I think that this is probably my favourite cake because  it combines cookies and cake together!



This is a pretty typical kids cake with the characters piped on. Dora's pretty popular!


This one was fun to make I love butterflies and ladybugs.
