Happy Earth Day!

My boys and I decided to make some Earth Day cookies today-they're a little more "homemade" than other things you'll find here.  But I thought they turned out cute, so I wanted to share :)

Caught him....

I was recently able to sneak a couple pictures of this guy....

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting


Sugar cookie ears with royal icing & royal icing accents on bunny
 ...he quickly hopped away though.  He must be trying to get a head start on hiding all those eggs!

Thank you to Callye over at The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle for this fantastic idea!  She is the queen of royal icing-I've learned a lot just reading on her blog!!

Wedding Cake!!!!

Well, the mini version anyway!

Shannon recently asked me to come up with something for a wedding shower she was hosting.  I found some pictures online and she thought the cakes would be the perfect fit!

For a co-worker

Jeremiah was in a car accident recently.  To help him feel better he received two new cars! ;)

He laughed so hard when I presented these to him that he had to hold his ribs-poor guy!

The Fruit of the Spirit is...

is definitely not strawberries.  But what a cute idea Emily came to me with!

Brookside Church always holds a spring women's event.  At this event, table sponsors decorate their individual tables in such creative and unique ways.

Emily was inspired by a cloth napkin she found with fruit on it.  Fruit; Fruit of the Spirit; see the connection?

Here is what Emily's idea led to!

Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.   Leaves & stem are marshmallow fondant.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23

Chi Omega Fundraiser

Recently a representative from Chi Omega at University of Nebraska Omaha contacted me to see if I'd be able to help provide cupcakes for their upcoming charity fundraiser.  What a blessing!

Chi Omega was able to raise $2,500 for Make a Wish Foundation!  Woohoo!!  What a blessing to the kids who will get to make their wish!

The picture I took isn't the best-sorry!


Marble cake with vanilla buttercream.  Topped with a marshmallow fondant yellow star & red Chi Omega letters
 Congrats Chi Omega!!
