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!

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!  

  

Happy 22nd Birthday!
