A Lavish Lavender Bridal Shower

The color lavender and butterflies, my two favorites, and I believe a perfect combination. These two beautiful cookies, bridal corset and cake, are decorated with a white background and a lavender butterfly  accent. The finished favor is wrapped in a cellophane bag with pretty purple and white a ribbon.





If your bride has a sweet tooth or if you're looking for something different to do at a
bridal shower check this out! I found this elegant and beautiful candy buffet from
Save the Date for Cupcakes. So lavish and beautiful!

May the force be with you

Star Wars rocks my son's world these days so he was quite
jealous when I made this cake.  I decorated this cake with
the cool blue and rockin' red light sabers - gotta have these, right?
To get the glitter look, I first rolled out the fondant. Secondly, I used a fine bristled paint brush and "painted" the fondant with the glitter (I used Wilton's edible glitter dust in Silver). When finished, I used a star cookie-cutter for the stars.
Happy 6th Birthday, Arda!

DIY: Cupcakes

Whipping up a batch of beautiful cupcakes could
not be simpler or more fulfilling with this recipe
I have found. So what recipe is it then? 
It is the great vanilla cupcake recipe  
from Joy of Baking, a fantastic baking site 
with many great cake and cupcake recipes btw.  For any of you
brave enough to try this at home, especially in this scorching heat, I think
you will find it fun and simple. Happy Baking!

Come on Barbie, let's go party!


I hate to admit this but every time I make one of these Barbie cakes I always
start singing the lyrics to Aqua's Barbie Girl song, do you remember?  "I'm a barbie girl, in a
barbie world, life in plastic, it's fantastic"  
......ANYWAY, back to this blog posting. I just wanted to show off this beautiful pink
barbie cake.  The 8 year-old girl saw it and said,  "I can't dare to cut it.  I want to keep it like that
forever!"  *Sigh*  So sweet!
