Halloween Sugar Cookies

 Halloween is a fun time to try out new things. I made a bunch of sugar cookies and tried out some different designs. These are all made out of buttercream.

 I love the monster cookies, they are made with a grass tip. The big eyes are plastic rings, a fun surprise for the little kid eating the cookie.

When you think of Halloween of course you think of pumpkins. I did some with Jack-O-Lantern faces and left others plain.

 Spiders are creepy so they go along with Halloween as well. I swirled the black around the cookie over the white, then pulled a knife through it to make the webbing. The spider is made with a grass tip.

 There are limitless things you could make and fun to decorate.

Simple Buttercream Wedding Cake

This is a simple buttercream wedding cake. It has 3 different sizes of dots on the side going from smallest to biggest in an alternating pattern. They wanted a top and bottom border made of dots too. This could be easily dressed up with flowers to match the wedding colors.

Flower Cupcakes

These cupcakes are so fun to make. After you make all the different colored frosting and pipping bags it goes fairly quickly. There are so many flowers to choose from and I definitely am not an expert at making all of them, but I like to try. This time I made daises, roses, sunflowers, and mums. I was way out of practice when I made these but, hopefully I will be able to make some more.

Cute as a Button

My adorable little baby just turned one. I did a "cute as a button" cake for her. I had a mold for the buttons and made them out of fondant. I think it turned out pretty cute haha.

Swirl Rose Cupcake

 Here is something for people out there that doesn't like fondant. This frosting is actually whipped cream. These are simple swirl roses. It is a little 5 inch round cake that looks like a bouquet of flowers or a really big cupcake. I made an accompanying cake to feed the rest of the guests while a little one year old got to dig into the big cupcake.

Zebra Print is Always Fun

This was all butter cream. I just pipped the black zebra stripes all over the cake. It was really easy to do and makes a fun cake. There is no rhyme or reason to it, you can't really mess it up, just have fun with it.

This is a fondant version of a zebra cake. Personally I like the fondant better, it has a cleaner look.

John Deere Cake

This cute little cake was for my nephew Tren. He loves tractors, farms, cars, planes -boy stuff-. So I thought he would love this John Deere cake. It was super fast to make. I used a grass tip to pipe the hay and colored fondant to look like wood to "hold" the hay together, then added cake crumbs as dirt. Tren ended up loving it and that is what counts!
