Fancy Nancy

Fancy Nancy

This cake was for my daughter's seventh birthday (Fancy Nancy theme). The bottom layer was strawberry cake, middle layer was sour cream pound cake, and the top was a confetti cupcake. MM Fondant topped each layer. On the middle layer, I used a diamond impression mat. Fondant pearls were used at the diamond intersections.

Mad Scientist Cake

Mad Scientist Cake

This was made with the stand up cuddly bear pan. The books he was sitting on looked so bad I cropped them right out of the picture. I wish I had not used them but I needed more cake than this guy would feed.

Wedding Cookies

Wedding Cookies

This idea came stright from this website. The only difference was that I rolled out MMF and cut the same design with the same cookie cutter. It made for a very smooth surface to decorate. Then I added all details with royal frosting.

Mittens

Mittens

this was my first attempt at no fail sugar cookies and frosting ala antonia. They were delicious cookies (love the salt) but a long way from being very beautiful like all of yours. I plan to get better at this. This recipe rocks. It is not too buttery so the cookies don't spread while cooking.
