for a good cause

The Boy Scouts that my kids belong to had a fundraising bake sale and my husband volunteered 2 dozen cookies and 2 dozen cupcakes from me :-) Since it was for a good cause, I was willing and able. I of course, got a little creative and really had fun with it - the packaging too! found some old ribbon and hot glue and voila!

I made lemon cupcakes with creamcheese summer berry epicure icing. The cookies are sugar cookies with royal icing - still playing with the flood technique. I found the pattern on line and they were quite easy to do.

Valentine's day

2nd attempt at Flood Icing on sugar cookies. Got some ideas for painting them with royal icing from a great site http://www.sweetsugarbelle.com/. I really really liked how they turned out. And they tasted great!

Baby Cake

My receptionist at work had a beautiful little baby girl just a short while ago and while I'll be out of the office during the baby shower, I really really wanted to make a little baby girl cake. I found a similar baby lamb fondant topper online, and made it slightly bigger with a baby bottle and different baby blanket. The icing is royal and I don't think I like it for a cake - much for fun for cookies and piping. I have creamcheese icing inbetween the layers of white cake and it is melting the royal icing where it touches inbetween the 2 layers. I hope it lasts in the fridge at work a couple days!!!
