Rustic Burlap And Lace Wedding Cake
My friend is getting married tomorrow, and I made this small cake for her. It's a vanilla butter cake with IMBC and fresh strawberry filling. The flowers are made of fabric by the bride's sister. The blue fabric is actually left over from the bridesmaids' dresses!

Ruffle Cake With Gumpaste Peony
I made this ruffle cake with a gumpaste peony for my friend's daughter's first birthday. The little one is allergic to dairy, so I had to make a shortening based buttercream. I think the ruffles would have looked smoother if I could have used IMBC. Or maybe I'm just fooling myself, because I'm really not used to doing actual decorating with buttercream. ;-)

Hobbit Party Cake, Smaug's Hoard
My 3 year old daughter asked for a Gollum themed birthday for her 4th birthday. YES--i'm raising an awesome geek kid! I did talk her into doing a hobbit theme more generally so as not to freak out the other 4 year olds. Butter cake (recipe the winner of The Hungry Games) with lemon soak and raspberry filling. Gumpaste decorations. Over two thousand of those little golden coins. I must love my kid. Party details on my blog, Tikkido.

Tiffany Present Box Cookies
A young friend is traveling to the Oireachtas, a world-championship-qualifying Irish dance competition this week. She's also turning 13. Her mom asked if I might make her some cookies as a surprise on the trip. Good luck to all the Bracken dancers and everyone competing at the Oireachtas this week! Royal icing with gumpaste bow.
