COOKIES!
I truly enjoy making cookies. I must admit they are very time consuming - but why not? as they are a work of art! It takes art to mix the dough, it takes art to roll the dough, and it takes art to cut and bake the dough. Did I even mention decorating these little babies? Ahhh, that is a different story. But in all honesty, I just love making them. From the time I start mixing all the ingredients together, to packaging these babies, I just can't help but smile as I know I made these cookies with LOVE. These are all butter cookies made with the freshest ingredients! No secrets here...
These are the all-girl GYMNAST cookies. I think they look adorable...and look at them when they're packaged.

Sweet. This weekend, I did some FAIRY cookies. I added a twist to my cookies this time - I added accent fondant to give dimension to the cookies. I think they look great. A liitle different - put extra work on it but hey, it was well worth it!
Here's some number cookies:
Casino Cake
This weekend I was commissioned to do a casino-themed cake. It will be a tiered cake so the idea of creating a slot machine or poker table is out. This will be in round tiers, probably about three to give the "height" impression. The colors should be black. red, white, I guess the more casino-y colors. Then I have to incorporate the request of having poker chips and cards to the cake. Of course, what is a casino without poker chips and cards! So there - I have the picture of the cake in my mind. Early this week I was making the fondant and the figures - it is better to do them early on to have enough time for them to harden and keep its shape. I worked on the poker chips, the cards and dice. Yes, DICE! cute!
Where's the playing cards? I placed them on the sides of the middle tier. This was a Red Velvet Cake with Creamy cream cheese filling and House Buttercream. This baby was heavy!!!
