Marshmallow fondant cookies



These cookies are 'iced' with marshmallow fondant. It is my first attempt at fondant. It's not an easy thing to work with. I have seen it done on tv a million times. They make it look really easy. I guess it will take some practice. I'm going to take some to work tomorrow and see how my 'critics' feel about it. I may have to stick with the other icing I use.

Mothers Day cake and cookies



We are doing the 'Race for the Cure' tomorrow, so I thought I would make a cake and cookies for afterwards. (we're having a picnic) I can see now why bakeries do not used these kind of cake pans. Geesh........ Talk about a pain to frost. My icing was not co-operating with me, so I decided stars were the next best thing. I think it turned out pretty well.

The cookies are chocolate covered oreo's. I've had this mold to do them for a while, so I finally put it to use.

Hope you all have a nice Mother's Day.

Bug cake


This is a cake I did for my hubby's bd. I have always wanted a yellow vw bug and this is just a hint for him. Very subtle, huh? The cake is strawberry/banana and the icing is marshmallow flavored buttercreme.

Flowerpot cupcakes



These are done with the Wilton flower cupcake pan. It's a new one. They can be used for almost any holiday. The cake is a funfetti mix with banana pudding added. The icing is buttercreme with marshmallow flavor. These are great if you don't like alot of icing.

Soccer Cake



My son's 24th birthday is on Saturday, so this is his cake. He is a great soccer player and fan. It is done with the Wilton ball pan. I'm not sure if I like the pan. It's hard to know where to put the color areas since there are no marks on the cake. I should have gotten the half soccer ball pan. At least it has the grooves. But, this will have to do.
