First Attempt At Decorated Cookies

I was so inspired by all the beautiful cookies that I thought I would have a go..used Canadian Living's Sugar and Spice cookie recipe and Antonia74's icing and of course her tutorial. Used Wilton Cornflower Blue for the blue icing. I think they didn't turn out great but not horrible either. I want to make a cookie bouquet for the girls who work for me and put them in a pretty Christmas mug

Baby Girl Shower Cake With Fondant/gumpaste Shoes

This is for a baby girl shower for tonight...she is a rubber stamp demonstrator too...so gonna make a card to try and match the cake. All BC except for the shoes. Thought it would be cute to add a rose to the inside of the shoe. I was freaking out because I had intended for the basket to be pink..it is coloured in Wilton Rose Petal pink which is beigy looking!!! So I added that same colour with plain rose colour and mixed up the icing so there would be some sort of colour coordination..Hope it looks OK..

Captain Underpants Birthday Cake

I am a bit disappointed in the finished cake but I learned a lot doing it and I hope my friend's son will like it...I used stars as the picture I saw had stars on it but the cake needed something more and so I added the fondant beads that I made. Fondant/Gumtex model, choc cake, choc BC filling and BC icing. The building is styrofoam covered in fondant.

Ballerina Birthday Cake

Ballerina cake for my friend's daughter...thanks to IceMom for her help and inspiration and all the forum help whilst I was modeling! My friend wanted this 3 days early and bigger cake than originally specified so my ballerina looks a bit small for her skirt! 10" cake with bc icing and fondant top skirt and model. Lots of practice with ruffles and I really learned a lot..especially what I would do differently but for a first attempt, I was happy. Luster dust on skirt and bodice.

My Very First Gumpaste Flower Arrangement

This was the final arrangement we made in the gumpaste class. A few broken flowers and some not so good but this course was my first attempt...lots of fun. Need huge amounts of practice at arrangements...any suggestions welcome. We didn't do any colouring of flowers other than colouring the gumpaste.
