My daughter has read all the Little House books and wanted a Little House birthday party. There aren't a lot of cakes out there based on the books, not the show, so this is what we came up with. She loved it. The colors are more muted than they show in this picture.
My daughter wanted a cookie to show how much she loves to read, so we saw this on Polka Dot Zebra's flickr stream and decided to make them. It would have been all well and good had we not needed so many - but 48 hand cut cookies is too much! I was ok with them - but if it were a smaller amount, I would have taken so much longer and been more precise.
For my daughter's Little House on the Prairie birthday party
Inspired by CeRae's photostream on Flickr.
All edible except the figurines. I am blaming the slope of the bottom cake on the moon's lack of gravity. Or something like that. It's surely not my fault, right? It's the moon - that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Gumpaste decorations, coconut IMBC, chocolate and butter cupcakes
Cookies for a friend who got the big snip recently.
NFSC w/ fondant and hand painted Grinches. For my daughter's Whobilation party.
Cookies for a friend of my Mom's who is just starting her battle.
NFSC w/Royal Icing and Fondant
NFSC w/Royal Details and Satin Ice covering
These are blueberry buttermilk cupcakes with lemon cream cheese IMBC, but the real stars of the show are the liners. These are made with scrapbooking paper and gabbycakes' template. Thanks so much gabbycakes!
Latte, vanilla, chocolate and carrot cupcakes with caramel, chocolate, chai and cream cheese IMBCs. All accents (stars, lassos, cowboy hats) are gumpaste. The horse is heavily inspired by favorz.net - Nutter Butters dipped in peanut butter or chocolate candies.
Italian Cream cake for a Halloween birthday girl!
A fireman cake for a third birthday. Sculptures in polymer clay from the book The Sculpey Way with Polymer Clay.
Dalmatian Cupcakes to go with the fireman cake for a third birthday.
Inspired by a cake from Debbie Does Cakes. Tink (the toy) does have two wings - the camera just wasn't catching both!
NFSC w/MMF and royal. Next time shredded paper instead of tissue paper. It's a bit too flat, right?
These were butter cupcakes with (supposedly) cotton candy IMBC and gumpaste stars for a little girl's fifth birthday at a local gymnastics school. I was bummed, the IMBC didn't taste like cotton candy at all. I probably used half of a Lorann's oil to get there and it just wouldn't. The kids didn't notice though, so I guess that's all that counts!
Chocolate covered Nutter Butters for a fall party. I wouldn't normally upload something like this, but the flowers (gumpaste) were pastel (from the teacup cookies I just uploaded) and I didn't want to make new ones. So I brushed on Aztec gold luster dust and voila. Fall-like colors and super easy. I love the luster dusts! I tried to paint on the chocolate with it (diluted in rum), but that was a no-go.
These were cookies for the teachers on the first day of school and for a back to school party for my daughter's playgroup. The tags had the kids names, a quote about friendship or a quip about how great the first day of school is for parents!
NFSC w/ Satin Ice, royal and gumpaste For a tea party birthday for two little girls.
This cupcake tower was tweaked to match the Hugs n Stitches theme a bit. Directions for the tower came from CakeJournal.com. The cupcakes are butter cake with coconut IMBD and lime curd filling. Gumpaste pieces on top.
