Little Man Cookies

A lucky little boy was turning 1 and his mom planned a party for almost 150 people.

The theme of the party was Little Man, there were mustaches, bow ties every where in the decorations.

These were the cookies I made for the party

( his mom wanted red hair on the cookies to match the little boy's hair) 

I used a gingerbread man cookie cutter to make the cookies.

I did the hair first.

Outline and flood cookie. Let cookie dry overnight.

Add details.

Wrap cookies in cello bag and tie them with a ribbon.

So what do you think? cute?

Have a great weekend everyone.

Butterfly Cookies and Cupcakes

Last week I posted the cake I made for our little friend Sophie.

 These are the cookies I also made to give out as party favors.

Simple butterfly cookies with bright colors.

I didn't have time to make tags for the cookies, so I just tie the cello bags with a tick ribbon.

All the cupcakes were vanilla buttermilk with a fluffy vanilla icing, very simple but yet delicious.

These flowers were leftover flowers that I had from this cake.

These little flowers I made them using a small flower cutter.

I hope you all have a great week!

Mr.Bunny,Carrots, Bunnies-Easter Cookies

Do you love making Easter Cookies as much as I do?

To make these Easter cookies you will need the following cutters from The Cookie Cutter Company:

4.5 Rabbit Cookie Cutter

4" Carrot Cookie Cutter

4"Egg Cookie Cutter

3.5" Bunny Face Cookie Cutter

You also will need the following supplies:

.Royal icing in white, yellow, pink, orange, green,purple and black (flood consistency and stiff for outlining and details)

.Nonpareils
.Ribbon color of your choice, I loved the pink!
.Tip #1 and 2
.Black edible writer
.Squeeze bottles, couplers and decorating bags

Bunny Cookies

For the white bunny,pipe two lines of stiff white icing for the ears with tip 2 and a big dot on the tail area for the tail .Add the nonpareils on tail and ears and let them set for a few minutes before dumping off the excess .

This is how the tail is going to look, adorable!

Use tip #1 to pipe the whiskers and eye. One dot of pink icing will be the nose

For the yellow bunny, I just pipe dots of pink icing for the tail and the ears, because pink makes everything pretty!

Hop...hop!!

Pictorial for the Easter Egg...

Easter egg cookies are super easy to make, use your imagination and play around until you get a design that you like. There are so many designs you can make using lines, scallop shapes and dots.

Mr. Bunny's face can't get any easier.

While the icing is still wet, pipe two purple tear shapes on each ear area.  Drag a toothpick through the shapes to create a little bit of marbling effect. Let cookie dry over night before adding all the facial details

And we can't make bunny cookies without having carrots around.

I used tip #1 to make the leaves.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Spring Butterfly Cake

Happy Monday!

 Tomorrow is the first Day of Spring!

Let's celebrate with cake.

Our cute little friend Sophie turned 1 this past weekend. Her parents had an adorable party for her and I offered to bring the cake, cupcakes and cookies for the party.

I actually made a big cupcake tower for her party, but Sophie needed a cake and I made this little one just for her.

I love how the butterflies turned out. I made them using a cookie cutter and I just added a little texture with a modeling stick. I wanted them to shine so I air brush them with pearl dust.

I attached the butterflies to the cake with a dab of royal icing.

For this particular butterfly I didn't use a cookie cutter, I used a mold .I love the detail impression of the butterfly but I found the mold kind of difficult to use. Unfortunately, the mold is not flexible, so getting the butterfly out without breaking  the wings was kind of tricky.

Thank you for stopping by.

Turntable Cake for a DJ

This is as good as I can get a cake to look like a turntable.

Very challenging I have to say. I looked a lot of turntables pictures on line and they seem great but with tons of details that I had to figure out how to make using fondant or gumpaste.

Special thanks to Melody from My Sweet and Saucy Shop who allowed me to use her turntable cake to make mine.

Have a great weekend.

Once a chick-always a chick (cake topper)

I had no clue how to name these post, all I know is that these chicks are dying to be bunnies

The weather in Central Jersey has been amazing these past few days, Spring is here.My girls and I are so excited. Spring means lots of trips to the park in my day off, Sesame Place on the weekends,ice cream and grilling almost daily and the fact that Summer will be here in no time.

I had left over cake and I got into action making these 2 little cakes, perfect for an Easter for 2, or 3 in my case. ( no, little E won't have cake yet)

To make these little cakes and toppers you will need:

.Cake and frosting of your choice.
.Green , white, yellow, black and orange fondant
.Grass tip
.Small rolling pin and rolling mat
.Round cutter ( the one I used was 4" Ateco brand)you will use them to cut the cake and also the round fondant toppers
.Black food writer to make the eyes
.2 confetti sprinkles and some egg shape sprinkles

Instructions:

-Roll your green fondant to 1/4"  thick and cut 2 circles using the same cutters you used to cut the cakes. Set the cut outs aside

-Cut your cake with the round cutter, put the cake on the serving plate,frost the top of the cake with your favorite frosting and place the green fondant round on the top of the cake.

-Fill the pastry bag with frosting and using the grass tip, squeeze the pastry bag pulling up and away from the little cake forming the grass.

-To make the bunnies all you have to do is to form 2 egg shapes for the body,the ears are long flat sausage shapes and the hands are 2 small oval flat shapes.

The Chick's face is a flat oval shape.

The little beak is a fondant triangle and the cheeks are pink confetti sprinkles

I did all the body parts first and then using a modeling stick, I made little holes on top of the head and side of body (to insert the ears and hands)

To put together the bunny chick, squeze a little frosting on the cake and place the body, then attach the ears,hands and feet. Sprinkle some eggs around.

-The feet are made with little thin sausages shapes. I attach them with a dab of water also.

Enjoy!

I couldn't stop myself from showing you this picture.

Any fan plans for Spring?
