More dinosaur cookies for my daughters girl scout game day!
My daughters girl scout troop is having a game day and each troop was required to bring individually wrapped baked goods. I offered to bring cookies. The activiites are open to all girl scouts and their families so I wanted to have something "boyish" in the cookie assortment. I don't know why but I have been dying to do some dinosaurs so thats what I chose. I think they are cute but I was bummed I made the blue on the back too high as the little triangles on top were supposed to be diamond shape but I had no room. Oh well, I even had them sketched out.....don't know what I was thinking when I piped the blue!
Baby shower cookies made for a friends sister. She wanted yellow and mint green since she doesn't know the sex of the baby. They are vanilla sugar cookies with royal icing.

The tiara was brushed with pearl luster dust to give it a sparkle.
I made this cake for someone who is having a baby girl. It was made to match the nursery decor, pink and brown butterflies and flowers. I suggested we add the booties to really make sure it had a baby feel to it. Thanks so much to grannys3angels for the awesome template for the booties. They were so easy to make with the great template and so adorable. Its two layers of chocolate cake, 2 layers of vanilla cake, cannoli filling and buttercream icing with MMF decorations.

This cake is a 60th birthday cake for someone who loves to golf. It is chocolate with buttercream icing and MMF decorations. It was inspired by several of the wonderful golf cakes I have seen on this site. Thanks everyone for the great ideas and inspiration!
This cake was made for a young lady who earned her black belt. The shirt was made to look just like her shirt will look. The patch is the patch she earns for getting her black belt and because she is a junior black belt her shirt neckline and belt are half black and half red. The cake is chocolate with buttercream and then covered in MMF. All decorations were made with MMF.
Cupcakes I made for my daughters annual Halloween party. The jack-o-lanterns are vanilla with buttercream and mmf decorations. The black cats are chocolate with chocolate icing and mmf decorations. The chocolate icing on the cats was made with black cocoa powder so there is no black food coloring in it.
An assortment of Halloween cookies for my daughters pumpkin party. They are NFSC and royal icing. The ghosts, pumpkins and webs were wet piped and the black cats and spiders were piped onto wax paper and allowed to dry and placed on the freshly iced cookie. I did this to save myself some time but it turned out to be a real pain, I think the spiders legs and the branch the cat is sitting on were too thin so I had so many breakage issues.
Firetruck cake I made for my friends son's 5th birthday. It was fun and stressful at the same time. I had some structural issues that threw me for a loop but fortunately was able to calm down and fix them. Its a 11 x 15 cake carved up. The fireman dude was made with MMF and the flames, ladder, and water are royal icing. Thanks to Marissa for the inspiration on the truck and Jen Whitlock for the great idea for the fireman with the royal icing water and flames. Overall I am happy with it and hope the birthday boy is too. First time making this kind of cake so if I ever make another one I know I can make improvements from lessons learned on this one!
This is a 40th anniversary cake I made for friends parents. Since red is the color for the 40th she wanted red roses on it. They wanted chocolate cake and chocolate frosting and at first I was unsure how the brown and red would look but I am really happy with how it turned out. The cake is iced in chocolate buttercream and the roses are MMF. My first time doing MMF roses!
These are cookies for my daughters soccer team. All the girls have pink balls and their name is the Roses and uniforms are red. It was my first attempt at a soccer cookie so I think they turned out pretty good. Was definitely a learning process and feel I will do better next time. Thanks to Jen Whitlock for the inspiration.
I made this cake for my friends daughter for her third birthday. She wanted Ariel and flounder and I wasn't comfortable that I could sculpt a good 3D ariel and get the facial features right so I did it this way. Its vanilla cake with buttercream icing with fondant decorations. The under the sea part of it was inspired by Jen Whitlock's beautiful under the sea cake.
Another cherry blossom cake for my neighbors moms 80th birthday. Its a 10 and an 8 inch, both 5 inches high. Thanks to the other beautiful cherry blossom cakes I have seen on CC for inspiration.
My version of the famous baby cupcakes from the Wilton yearbook for a friends baby shower. Thanks to CC for the idea for the ones with the binkys. This time I didn't do the pillows because I decided they were not necessary - personally just didn't think they added much.
Baseball cupcakes. Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes frosted first with buttercream and then baseballs made with marshmallow fondant over that. The teams initials are on them done in purple as that is the team color.
