Ladybugs and flowers

This has been a really hectic week for me. I have been overworked, under slept, ill, and just plain old tired! Right now as I am writing this post (finally a post!) I find myself wishing I were under the covers and sleeping for at least a week. I hope the coming week is not as hectic, but I highly doubt it.

When I was asked to make a cake with ladybugs I was thrilled! All I could think about for 2 days was ladybugs and flowers. Enter the cake! I love making ladybugs, they're so cute and chubby. They're popping right out of the cake!

Look at this top mama ladybug, how cute is that??

Seeing as how this cake was kind of short notice and I was really busy, I had to recur to the help of my dear mother.  She came up with the bottom border, of which she is extremely proud, might I add. Good job! Isn't it great?! She was also a big help with softening fondant and the decorating. Thank you mom!

This cake was vanilla with Dulce de Leche filling, one of my most popular. It was travelling to the beach so I really hope it made it there safe and still tasted great!

I apologize for the short post, but like I said before, totally hectic week.

Tasty Treats!

I've been having the hardest time posting this week. My schedule has been so incredibly busy that I rarely get a chance to sleep! Well, that's actually pretty normal, but I'll tell you all about that in another post.
 I really wanted to have my Halloween Cookies post done before Halloween! Ugh!
Anyways... Happy Halloween everyone! This year I wanted to make Halloween cookies, I have seen some amazing cookies this year. One of my favorites and the one I chose to replicate (read steal) are these spiderweb cookies from this great blog Bake at 350. These cookies are adorable! I chose orange and green for my cookies, they didn't come out quite as perfect but everyone loved them! Which is always good. You can find a step by step tutorial for these cute cookies at the Bake at 350 blog by clicking here.

I also wanted to make some ghost cookies for the office and because I thought they would be really cute.

Take a look

Spooky!

I  made some white ghosts to keep with the tradition

The white ghost cookies were made with MMF and royal icing.
