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. 

Welcome Payton

A personalized cookie platter is a great way to send that special message.   These cookies were for the arrival of little baby Payton.   This was a great treat for the new parents and guests coming to see baby Payton.

Congratulations to her family!

Halloween Cookies

I made up 5 dozen Halloween cookies to package up for the kids at daycare and to send to son's school this week.    It's hard to tell in the picture but there is a little spider on the web cookie. 

Gobble, Gobble

My son was over the moon to see these cookies this morning.   I told him I would make a special treat to send with him for Thanksgiving, so he was thrilled that Mommy came through.     So 20 little turkeys are being enjoyed today in a JK class

Oreo Cookie Turkeys Tutorial

Make these cute little treats for Thanksgiving.  Little ones just love these guys.
They are easy to make, but give yourself a couple of hours to complete them. 

To start out you will need:
Oreo Double Stuf (the regular ones will not allow you to put the candy corn in)
Whoppers
Candy Corn
Resse Mini Cups or you can get mint and caramel for those with nut allergies
A pipping bag with a number 3 tip and some icing (you could also put a small hole in a baggie with icing)

Each turkey requires:
10 Candy Corn
2 Cookies
1 Mini Cup
1 Whopper

Use a bit of icing to attach your 2 cookies together.  I suggest doing all your cookies first so the icing can harden a bit before you start attaching stuff to the cookies.

 Take 6 candy corns and push them gently into the cookie.  You may need to put a little bit of icing into the cookie first so they stick better.
Put a bit of icing onto the bottom and back of the mini cup and apply to cookies.

 Cut the tips off of 2 pieces of Candy Corn. Set the tips aside as you will need them later.

Attach the 2 Candy Corn you just cut as feet, using a little icing as glue.
Attach the Whopper onto the cup by putting a little icing on the bottom and back of it.  Yow will need to hold it in place for a few seconds.

 Take the remaining 2 Candy Corns and attach them to the top of the mini cup on either side of the whopper as arms.
Take one of the little pieces that you cut off for the feet and attach it to the whopper as a beak.   Then use your icing bag to make 2 little dots as eyes.

  Put a little bit of blue food colouring into a bowl and use a tooth pick to add blue eyes to your turkey. 

 Your finished!  Watch the kids faces light up as they enjoy these little guys. 

Happy Canada Day

I know I am a couple of days early, but I am taking a few days off over the weekend and will be trying to contain myself from using a computer.
These are some simple cookies I made up for all the kids to enjoy on Canada Day.    I might just need to snap a picture of all of them with red tongues after eating them.

Christmas Lights

I always love looking at Christmas Lights at this time of year.   When I seen this cookie cutter I knew I had to have it.   Some of these will be left out for Santa tonight and the rest will be making the holiday travels with us as we visit people over Christmas.
