Sample Chevrons

Dots

Gris Gris

 

         The rock bit into my back, ripping the thin fabric of my dress. It was quickly followed by another and another. Tears streamed down my face, as I tried to run away from them as fast as I could. It was of little use. I couldn’t escape them. The three of them grabbed me by my long dark brown hair, pulling me to the ground. I curled into a tiny ball to avoid the flying fists and swift kicks they delivered to my back and sides.  If I was small enough, I could detach myself from my body and float away from the pain. I lifted my eyes, to look at my attackers. The three of them towered over me, the glistening patent leather of their shoes, shining as they came down towards my body. Their brown faces twisted in hatred. I could almost feel the anger radiating off of their bodies, all of their energy focused on me.

Birthday Daisies

My coworker had her 23rd birthday and I just had to bake her a cake. Many cakes. Many mini cakes. Cupcakes!!!! My favorite! :)

My intel told me that she liked daisies and the color yellow so I created a spray of daisies for her to enjoy. I did a simple half batch of cupcakes and used my tips to decorate the daisies for her.

Needless to say, she liked them :)

Baby Shower Cake

I made this cake for our Elbow to Elbow Consultant. We're having her baby shower at school during out planning period and I decided to make a cake to practice.

I think my next project will be my lettering and shapes with the frosting. I could have used the spray frosting to color the bacground and of course, FONDANT!!!

It looks rough and my perfectionist side is NOT happy. SMH...oh well...on to the next procrastination.....

Oh the Places They'll Go...

My kiddies graduated today and I was so proud of them. So proud in fact that I made 144 cupcakes (only 120 were edible :-/...guess those directions about temperature aren't suggestions....) and brought them as refreshments. I saw an idea last week for "Oh, the Places You'll Go" cake for graduation and it inspired me.

This is a close up of one of the cupcakes. I made 100 with the simple graduation cap but they aren't as inspiring...

 

The full box

To make them I simply used a box recipe (yes box!!!) and baked them to semi perfection. (Perfection would not include me burning a batch).

To decorate I googled the book and pasted the images into a word doc. I then printed it on a color printer, cut out the shapes and taped toothpicks to the back. Insert into freshly frosted cupcake and done!!!!
