4th of July

This was my second year doing 4th of July cupcakes. I once again used Reynolds ® FunShapes baking cups in the stars. This year the cupcakes are yellow cake, decorated with buttercream icing. I decided to use the basket weave tip for the stripes, then smooth ice the blue section. I used a #14 star tip for the stars. This year I was much happier with the final outcome.

Bailey's 1st Birthday

Ladybug Fever

I was asked to make my niece's 1st birthday cake. Needless to say I was thrilled. The theme of her party was ladybugs. Since I needed to feed a lot of people I decided to do a sheet cake with mini lady bug cakes sitting on top. The photo of the lone ladybug was Bailey's smash cake.

Mini Cupcake Swirls

These were made for a playgroup that my girls attended. They were the perfect size for little hands. I was told they looked like little sundaes.

Cookies

This was my first attempt with making decorated cookies. I used rolled cookie recipe for the cut out cookies, and a rolled buttercream recipe for the icing. I definately will need to play around with this some more to perfect my cookie making skills. However, it was fun and I am always up for a new challenge.

Gingerbread House '07

This year our gingerbread house was made at my daughter's school. They started the school year off with a gingerbread man theme and took it in to the holiday season. The big Kinder event was to make gingerbread houses one morning. The base was an empty milk carton. The kinders then started assembling their houses with graham crackers, and ended with the decorations. It was a great day and I was so proud of Kaela's finished product. This was a very memorable experience for the both of us. The entire family was proud to have this as our gingerbread house this Christmas season.
