Random Little Blurb...

I don't have a lot to say about this post, but I wanted to share my first image transfer :D
We learned this fancy little technique in the Wilton Course 1 class. I know I will definitely be using this clear piping gel in the future!

We put some wax paper over a design in the booklet, and then piped clear piping gel over the outline of the little cupcake. Then, Oh so carefully.... You flip the wax paper over onto the cake, and then EVEN MORE CAREFULLY.... you pull the wax paper off, and it leaves a little outline of the cupcake for you to follow. :)

It was cute and fun and simple. I can't wait for next week's class! We're going to learn how to do some buttercream roses.

This cute little cake was just something my mom and I did for one of her friends at work. Diaper Cake! Isn't it adorable? I should have thought ahead of time and taken a better picture before she wrapped it in the cellophane, but you still get the idea of it. And who can go wrong with ELMO???

Lego Cake!

So.... Cute little Angie Farr has THE MOST adorable little boys ever. And one cute little guy turned 6 last week! So, She asked me to make him a Lego cake :)
I had my mama make the cakes while I was at work on Wednesday, and then as soon as I got home from my Wilton Cake Decorating class on Thursday, I stayed up all night and got this cake looking like a Lego!

Now.. I know most Lego cakes are rectangular, but I found square Wilton pans at WalMart for cheap, so I used squares instead of rectangles! And then of course, you can see I used marshmallow halves as the little connector dots.

I could not for the life of me get this frosting to smooth out! I even tried a couple tricks I learned in my class that night. But when I looked at the time and saw it approaching 1 am, I just had to be done with it or else I was going to go crazy!

She said he loved it, so that's good enough to hear after a failed frosting night. Happy Birthday Kyler!

Superman Cookies!

My lovely cousin's birthday was a couple weeks ago, and I promised her I would make some Superman cookies to make her birthday super!

Ever since I seem these on a couple different blogs, I've been dying to try them out myself. 

I was excited when I realized Amanda and I were the perfect candidates for these cookies!

I hand cut them, and then once baked and cooled, I used a decorating marker to trace out the shield's S. 

Then of course I got to use some royal icing and create these awesome cookies. 

I shipped them to her clearrrrrrr in Idaho! Luckily she was able to still eat them and they were yummy even though two of them cracked a little in their travels.

Happy Birthday Amanda Mae! 

Her cute baby girl liked the cookies too ;D

Thanks for reading :) I'm taking a cake decorating class from Michael's, so I'm sure the cake we're making next week will be my next entry ;) 

Wish me luck!
