Sail Boat

I thought this turned out cute! I used floral wire for the outline of the sails, because I didn't have time to let them dry for days.I liked the look! I Used a bamboo skewer to attach the wire, then gently pressed my fondant triangles onto it. I put little strips of fondant over the back wire. I let it dry overnight and it held up great! I gently pressed it into a Rice Crispy boat base. For the frosting I didnt mix the blue all the way through- you cant really see in the photo but it made the ... VIEW POST

Boo Hoo

I started with Boo Hoo because look at those faces? It's hard to want to write about the stuff that is hard. Boo Hoo Poor Me. I don't like to be a whiner. And I know I am sometimes.

Princess Cake (Sophia the 1st)

This type of princess is ALWAYS a hit. The little girls (and mom's) just love them. As you can see from the above pics I start with a Rice Crispy base (yes I ran low on RC and added a few cheerios!) and I this time I used a milk cap that I cut the center from to support my popsicle stick. It kept the stick from leaning forward or backward. I added the torso, neck and then head, connecting them with smashed RC, then applied a thin layer of fondant to start smoothing it out. I used a little ... VIEW POST
