Sophia The First Birthday Cake and Cookies

 
I am loving this color palette, having 2 girls soft pastels are my colors.
I made this cake and cookies for a great client of mine, her little girl loves Sophia The First TV show and of course the party was around that theme.
 
This Sophia The First Birthday cake was inspired by Sophia's  dress and include a handmade white sugar tiara, all gumpaste, since fondant doesn't really dry hard enough to keep the
Princess tiara standing.  
 
I love how the Princess tiara turned out, I have a tutorial and  you can find it here



The cookie favors to match the Sophia The First theme included tiaras, dresses, the age of the little girl, birthday cake and pendants.

Dolphin and Surfboard Cookies

 Saying good bye to Summer is hard, we had the most amazing time this year and with my kids growing every year just keep getting better and better.

Next week is finally going back to school. I am happy, excited and nervous all at the same time. I am looking forward to go back to the school and work schedule /routine and I think the girls are ready too.  My little E is not to excited about her last year of Pre-K, hopefully she will get use to it pretty soon.

Any way, for this month's blog post for The Cookie Cutter Company I made some fun Dolphin and Surf board Cookies. I guess I am hanging into summer pretty bad with these.
 
I haven't been baking a lot this summer and I certainly haven't made royal icing in a while, so I used fondant as an easy way to decorate these dolphin and surfboard cookies

Back to School Theme cookies

 
Oh man! Summer is over! bittersweet. In a way I want to keep enjoying the nice weather and the fun outdoor time I am having with my girls, but honestly, I am ready for back to school.
 
The kids are excited, and daddy who has been taking care of the kids the entire Summer is looking forward for a little break.
 
Any way, back to school means meeting new teachers, that means cookies around here.
 
 I put together a fun cookie tutorial for The Cookie Cutter Company, stop by their page and have fun decorating these cookies.



Race Car Theme 1st Birthday Cake

 
I made this race car theme cake for a special little boy, I have been making cakes for this
family for many years now.
All the details of the cake matched the party invitation, I love the color combo of red, black and light blue.
The #1 cake topper and the flags are made with gumpaste for stability.
 Everything else is fondant.

Mexican Fiesta Theme Cake

 
 Happy Wednesday!
Wow, I haven't been around in so long. Times goes by so fast and I have being spending my free days and time with my girls. This Summer has been fantastic, lots of little trips, fun play dates with new friends and doing a lot of activities with the girls.
 
Right now I am taking some time off from baking, the last few months were so busy with lots of orders that I really needed some time off to recharge.
 
I have made such a fun cakes , lots of colors and different designs.
 
For this post I am sharing this fun and colorful Mexican Fiesta Theme cake complete with a cake topper piñata.
 
The piñata was made using rice crispy treats and fondant, all the other decorations were a combination of fondant and gumpaste.

 
This Mexican man was one of my favorite details on the cake, I am assuming he had way too much tequila and was taking a nap!

 
Here is the complete cake ! Hope you like it!
