Winter Wedding Cake
The bride had specifics for each layer of this cake. There were alot of firsts for me on this cake. The roping by hand sucked - I really wished I had that tool that you just squeezed it out and ta da a rope! She wanted swirls done in silver - piped on royal icing then painted them- yuck. Next time I will try to hand paint them. Thanks for looking!

Pinecones Wedding Cake
This I think is now one of my favorites. My friend brought in the picture of what she wanted. It had to have pine cones and chocolate curls. Pinecones were ok thanks to wonderful cc'ers that helped me and the chocolate scrolls were a disaster. I ended up rolling chocolate fondant into scrolls and I think they worked. 12.10.and 8 covered in buttercream with chocolate fondant/fondant accents. tfl!

Boring And Crappy!
12x18 cut into 3 and stacked to make shoe box. Only 4th cake ever covered in fondant and you can tell- corners are uneven. Not like buttercream where you can spackle!!! Shoes are gumpaste and not something I will ever do again! Thanks to the cc'ers that helped, even if it was just encouragement. I truely appreciate it!

Diabetic Cake And Diabetic Icing - Wow!
What a disaster this was... never made any diabetic cakes before and the icing as well. Sometimes things don't go so well. Usually if cakes crack I can fix them and no one would have ever known - not this time! Icing wouldn't stay on the side of the cake - hence the flowers on the side and tag on the top to hide flaws. The lady was able to have cake so that was the good thing! tfl

My Favorite Cookies I Have Made!
I used stickers to write on the bucket (she can peel them off and use the bucket for something else) made holes in the cookies before I cooked them and then again after I placed the rolled buttercream on the cookie. Decorated the cookie, after the royal icing was dry I then strung them with string and hung the string over the side of the bucket. This way people could go fishing for a fish cookie at the fish fry!
