Wedding Fun

So what happens when a cake decorator gets married?   Lots of late nights!! 

The last few weeks have been very busy.  My wedding was fast approaching so there was all the regular things to take care of and then of course the cake and treats on top of that. 

It started about 3 weeks ago with making the wedding favors.   Each favor was 2 chocolate hearts drizzled with white chocolate.

Then it was onto cookies.  I didn't want regular cookies, so I made these 3 tier wedding cake cookies.  Each cookie actually consisted of 6 cookies with 2 for each tier.   Rather then normal cookie icing, they are iced with white chocolate and finished with some gum paste flowers. 

Cake Pops make a great treat at a wedding.  They are a great finger food that also tastes great!  These were vanilla cake with cream cheese icing dipped in milk chocolate. 

Finally the cake!  I went with a simple wedding cake design because I LOVE the look of simple, elegant cakes.

 

The dessert table looked great thanks to the help of some great friends that set everything up.  Once I get the professional photos in I will share that with you.

Halloween Cake Pops

I made some sample Halloween Cake Pops the other day.    The kids love these things!  

I am thinking this might be what we do this year for the October Workshop, so keep an eye out for details to come later.

More Cake Pops

I am officially hooked on making cake pops.   They seem to take forever to make but they are just so cute when they are done.

Here are some more Easter ones for the kids at daycare.

Don't they look so pretty all wrapped up?

I had to play with my new wrapping items today.

Easter Egg Cake Pops

I can't stop making these fun cake pops.  Be sure to check out the post below this to see more cake pops and see what a cake pops is.

Fun with cake pops

, So what is a cake pop you ask.......a little piece of heaven!   I came across the world of cake pops on Bakerella and had to try them out.  They are made from cake crumbled up then mixed with icing which you then form into balls  (or what ever shape you need), as if that doesn't sound yummy as it is, you then dip them in chocolate!!   Trust me, they taste amazing.

These are some fun little chick pops for Easter.

Here are some great spring flowers.   I love the colours of these.   The cake pop is the base under the flower, so you get an added bonus of candy with these ones :) 
I will also be making this for Mother's Day so let me know if you are interested in ordering yours as I need to get some of the supplies while Easter items are still out.

These little guys didn't turn out as cute as I had hoped but I wanted to post them for you anyways.  My kids love the show In the night garden.   These are two of the characters from the show.
