Gift Tag Cookies
I made these little cookies and attached them to a box of cookies. One says "Mazel Tov", the other "Happy New Year". this was for a baby boy born just before the New Year, and I sent it over for the holiday. I started using these little "tags" alot, whenever I give anyone a gift. People love it!!

"wedding" Cake
My in-laws lost their marriage license and went down to get a new one, so we made a surprise "wedding party" for them. This is what I made with about 15 hours notice, I have never made anything like this. It is not exactly gorgeous, but it was the idea. My sister in law even got a little toy grandma and grandpa and put it as a topper, but I did not get any pics of that.

Cookies
A few cookies I made with some extra dough and icing. (Toba's glace). The plaid and quilt were an attempt to copy psneed5's gorgeous cookies, I need more practice. The fish tank is a balloon cookie that my niece thought was a fish, so this is how she decorated it, and I copied hers. She does tend to think out of the box. I was using icing that I prepared for my kids in ziploc bags with the tips cut off and they had opened them more, so some of them were messy when I was using them.

Stenciled Cookie
These are sugar rollouts, iced with Toba's glace. I did the stencil using white RI, I then brushed it with silver pearl dust diluted in vodka. These took some practice to get right - the RI shouldn't go under the stencil, the RI should be smooth, and painting it right. But once I figured it out, I am happy how this came out.

30Th Birthday
I wanted to make my husband a cake based on one by 2muchsugar (white with green), but the mmf flopped. I did not have the time/ingredients to make more, so I just smoothed the cream on the cake and used fondant from another cake - I did not have enough from one color, so it had to be multicolored. Also, when I stacked it, the top was crooked, and with cream you cannot straighten it like with fondant. But it was delicious and I learned aloth.

Anniversary Cake
This cake is totally different than what I expected - wanted to do white fondant w/ pink decorations, not enough fondant, so put chocolate glaze, which came out horrible - very not smooth on the sides. The pink was way to strong, but it was getting late, dh was coming home already, so worked w/ what I had. He loved it so that's all that counts!! Really loved the bow, thanks to francjmc for the tutorial!! This cake was inspired by some cakes on cc, don't remember whos so thank you all!

Pink & Brown Cake
This is an attempt to copy a cake by cassie1686. My daughter was thrilled with the cake, but I was not. I used a different recipe for mmf, and it was very sticky and soft even w/ added sugar, so it stretched when i put it onto the cake, and it was very hard to smooth down. Of course, I was not careful and the worst spot, where the fondant ripped and I just patched it, ended up in the front of the cake. The brown was too light, so the balls look like chic peas. Thanks to all who answered my questions!!
