Mini Cake Experiment Number 2
Again, this was an experiment with ganache and the marshmellow rolled buttercream recipe. I normally put this on my cookies but tried to cover this mini with it. It screamed the whole way! So, I whacked the "abort" button and just added on some neat things. I learned a bunch!

Black & Purple Gumpase Flowers
My first try at making a flower with gumpaste. For fun flowers they are okay....it's hard to see the details in the pic. But, they are 2 layers of the funky flower wilton cutter & a molded center...I also used a leaf cutter from wilton. Just practicing my cake skills! I still had an air bubble in my buttercream!!

Soccer Balls
I'm not a piper of epic proportions AT ALL. So, I studied a few pics & read a couple comments & decided to make my own template. I was so happy these looked like soccer balls & NOT steering wheels! I printed out a clip art soccer ball the size of my cutter - 3 inches. I make a traditional sugar cookie, so I do the "double cut" to ensure the exact size. I printed out the clip art on card stock, cut the black hex's out with an exacto knife. I then, as another CC'er had done, used a food marker & traced all the hex shapes onto the cookie. Then, used a second pic printed just for reference to guide me in freehanding the "lines" that connect all the shapes. After ALLLLL that, I piped the black, flooded. Let dry for 12-16 hours, then flooded white. I then sprayed with my pearl shimmer airbrush color....cuz nothing is complete with out a little sparkle! So - I hope those of you looking for a tip on no stress soccer balls try the template route. I'm so excited - no steering wheels!!!!! yeah!
