Christmas Cupcake Tree




I was so excited when I got a call from a good friend to make a cupcake -'cake' for their family Christmas party.
The cupcakes are an assortment of red velvet, gingerbread, vanilla and chocolate with buttercream icing.
All of the 'ornaments' and 'bows' are made with white chocolate fondant and gumpaste, decorated with edible metallic paint.
And next time I will remember to remove the toothpicks before the photo 'shoot'.

Christmas Cookies






Christmas trees, snowflakes, doves, and leaves with messages for the holidays!
Sugar cookies with a non-traditional Christmas theme all boxed up for their recipients.
What a nice idea for client gifts!

Faking It!



Just for practice and a bit of fun, here's a 'fake cake' (using styrofoam drums)- however its all real fondant icing & fondant roses.
I'm happy with how it turned out- next time I think I'll make it chocolate so I can eat it!
