Happy Bee-Day!

Small tiered cakes are fun!

These little 2 tiered cakes can be personalized for any theme. This was a 6" top tier, and 8" bottom tier, serving 28. I think it would be really cute even smaller.

I love the simplicity of this one. The ribbon and flowers were made of fondant. The bee was drawn-on with frosting.

Thanksgiving Turkey Cookies

Turkey Cookies!

I made these Decorated Sugar Cookies for my kids. They were made using a hand cookie cutter, designed after the childrens' craft in

school. The royal icing was just poured for the bodies when I took this picture.

I made the larger hand-turkey cookies for my own guests on Thanksgiving Day, they were a fun addition to the dessert table.

Next year, I hope to make another style of turkey, more realistic & elegant... yes, a turkey can be elegant!

Pig in Pearls

This cake was for a group of friends visiting Sonoma for their 50th Birthdays. I loved the idea, and they called themselves "Pigs in Pearls", so one member of the group ordered this cake as a surprise.

I think she's a very elegant piggy =)

I carved her completely with cake (no rice krispies or fondant). Her pearls, eyes, earrings, flower on head, purse and hooves were made with fondant. Otherwise she is covered with frosting. The birthday message banner is also fondant, and an edible food writing pen used for the message (a new favorite tool!)
