Spring Daisy Cookies

These lovely daisies were in honor of my friend's 28th birthday. This clump of a dozen blooms was my first attempt at a cookie bouquet on lollipop sticks. I had seen pictures but never tried creating one so I seized the opportunity to make this springy basket full of cheerfulness. Each large cookie was individually wrapped for freshness and could be given individually or in a group.

Spring Flowers

Today I made 2-dozen cupcakes for a bridal shower, half devil's food and half white. Each little cake was topped with an ivory buttercream swirl and a two-tone pink gumpaste blossom. Add some white nonpareils sprinkles and you have super cute cupcakes that are just perfect for a beautiful spring day!

A Big White Bow

For the last month I have been taking the Wilton Gumpaste and Fondant cake decorating class. We have practised flowers, borders, bows and cake assembly. This pink creation was my final project and I love how it turned out. Fondant affords many different design options that buttercream frosting doesn't. This will just be the start of my experience with fondant cakes!
