grocery bags...

i made these gems for my sister-in-law for her birthday. joann's has some amazing new home decor fabric in. i got the idea from this cool website and since finding this site i have been sewing up a storm. hope she likes them!

fondant and gum paste...

final cake. here is is people... i got the idea from my sushi plates. i was really happy with how this little fellow turned out. the cake underneath was a complete success too. i decided to play with some ingredients and came up with a yellow cake base filled with homemade blackberry jam and almond paste. i piped homemade cream cheese frosting with goat cheese substituted inside as well. i then made a marscapone cream cheese frosting with a hint of almond emulsion that i frosted the outside with and let me tell you it was divine. i love this cake. i had a really hard time eating it.

wilton cake decorating class...

yeah so a cute neighbor friend and i took the wilton course 1 and wilton fondant and gum paste decorating classes. they were super fun and i really want to take course 3 tiered cakes too. here are some cupcakes that we made for little misses preschool and my first fondant cake just in time for valentines day.

steiner dolls...

introducing beardo ken and john pennybones, respectively. i made these little fellows after checking out this tutorial courtesy of sooz. these little guys are so fun and my munchkins are loving them. thanks for a great tutorial, i will be making these again and again.
