Sur La Table

Hi everyone,

This is my favorite store. They have so many great things for cupcakes. This is one of there ads. Doesn't just looking at it make you want to make cupcakes. The nearest one for me is at Southside in Pittsburgh. The 4th of July cupcake in the previous post was made with the Wilton Big Cupcake pan. I'm going to try one of these with ice cream as the top instead of cake.

Happy 4th of July

Hope you have a great 4th of July. It's really dreary here. No sunshine. Just rain. lol. This is a cake I did for today. Hopefully we will be able to have the picnic outside.

New cupcakes

I made these cupcakes today. I saw ones like them on the bakerella blog page. She has such cute ideas. They are lemon cupcakes with lemon curd filling. She put bathing suits on her bears, but I didn't have time to do that too. Maybe next time.

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.

Penguin cookies

I made these cookies for The Stanley Cup Finals. I have been making them all season for the games.

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 cookies

Here are some more hints for my hubby. He is really not paying any attention. One of these days I will have a yellow vw bug. I know I will, I know I will, I know I will.........
