Santa Hat cupcakes!


They're not anything special, but here are my Santa Hat cupcakes!


I wanted the red to be more vibrant, but I ran out of red coloring - maybe next year!

Christmas cake!



This Christmas, I decided there was no better gift than cake!


I started with a three layer checkerboard cake. 


I covered the top with Christmas sprinkles. 
They were red, white and green with a few snowflakes and trees.


From there, I used the #5 star tip to make swirls all around the entire cake and top edge. 




I spent a couple hours staring at it until I decided what it needed...
Pom Pom Appetizer Picks!


I used them around the edge of the cake, a few in the center, and a few at the bottom of the cake.




This is how it looked inside!
I think the checkerboard is awesome!

Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas!


Happy Holidays!

My fridge is full and I'm exhausted but tomorrow is CHRISTMAS! 

I'm so thankful for all the wonderful people I have in my life, and I hope you all are too! I have been truly blessed with such supportive family and friends. Thank YOU for visiting my blog and helping me become the baker I am today. This blog is my home away from home and I'm so happy I'm able to share my joy of baking with others.

I hope you all have a great Christmas and enjoy your time with your friends and family!

Butterfly Cake


Here's the ending result of my upcoming surprise!




I started with this Butterfly pan and outlining the major designs on it with a #3 solid circle tip.


Next, I filled in the torso of the butterfly with the #16 star tip.


I forgot that I had wanted one of the designs to be solid frosting, so I had to wipe off the outlining and frost with the blue icing. I also did the yellow with a #5 star tip.


I had to re outline the blue now that I had wiped it.


I did the green area with the same #3 solid circle tip by just doing dots in a line. 


Lastly, I finished the cake off in pink with the #16 tip. 


Hope you like my Butterfly cake, I sure was proud of it! :)
Stay tuned for my good news coming in the next month or so!

BUT...
I've got something great in the works and it will be posted here as soon as possible. So please keep checking back and take a few minutes to comment on your favorite cake! I look forward to seeing what the crowd favorite is :) 


I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and have an even better holiday season!
