Halloween Cookies

Bats

Spider Webs & Black Cats

Jack 'O Lanterns

Ghosts

This are the Halloween cookies I made for my husbands work party. They are sugar cookies with rolled buttercream icing and royal icing for the details. I made 70 cookies and not one was leftover. I do however have to credit my husband for the Jack 'O Lantern faces, he did all of them to help me out.

Co-Worker's Good-Bye Cake

This cake was for a co-worker who was leaving our department, and going to another department within the University. The cake was a white cake with strawberry filling. It is decorated with buttercream frosting. I made it bold and bright to match the personality of our co-worker.

Kaela's 7th Birthday

She Flips for M & M's

This year my daughter wanted an M & M theme for her birthday. However, she was having her party at a local gymnastics place. So I came up with the clever saying she flips for m & m's. Here are the cakes that I made for her party. All are yellow cake with strawberry filling. The cakes are iced with buttercream frosting. All the accents are done with fondant. The set of two M & M's went to the gym for her and her friends. The orange M & M was for a dinner we were having with family later that night. I choose orange since that is her favorite color.

Joe's Birthday

This year I decided to make my husband a very special cake for his birthday. He is a huge Denver Broncos fan, and was going to the pre-season Arizona Cardinals vs Denver Broncos game for his birthday. This was his first time going to see a professional football game. I decided to give his birthday the Broncos theme. He loved his cake, and the game. The cake was cherry chip with cherry buttercream filling. It is a whipped icing with a buttercream transfer.

M & M Cookies

These are my practice cookies for my daughter's upcoming birthday. She wants to have an M&M themed party. These were definately a challenge, especially moving them from my mat to a cookie sheet, but I was determined. For the most part I like how they came out, but I will be making some changes to the ones I do for the party.

Hearts & Stars Cookies

I am now becoming a little obsessed with perfecting my cookies. I made these for my husbands work. Just to practice and get better with rolling the dough and buttercream to the right thickness, and outlining more precise. They are a lot of work, but the finished product is looking better with practice.

Cookies

This was my second attempt with cookies. I was much happier with the outcome. I am beginning to really like all the options I have with cookies, and how they can be decorated. I cannot wait to do more.

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.
