Introduction

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog! I hope you will find lots of great recipes and cake decorating ideas here and share yours as well. I'm always looking for new recipes to try and new, fun ways to decorate my baked goods.

I'm by no means a professional baker but I do love spending time in the kitchen baking something yummy to share with family. And I do believe presentation is everything! I love to decorate cakes and cookies and make them look as good as they taste.

This was my very first attempt at using Fondant. I made marshamallow fondant (using a recipe I found online, I will share it later) and the cake came out pretty good for my first try!

It was a triple-layer chocolate cake with white frosting between the layers and white frosting on top.

This was a cake I made for my mom's birthday. It was my first attempt at making a tiered cake and I have to say it came out pretty nice if I do say so myself :) Everything on the outside was fondant. The bow on top, the flowers, the icing - all marshamallow fondant. It took a few days to complete because I had to let the fondant bows & flowers dry completely. The bow had paper towels stuffed inside it to help it keep its shape. This was a chocolate cake with 7-minute boiled frosting with coconut (my mom's favorite) and it was delicious!

I made this for my dad's birthday last year. He is a big golfer so I decided to make a golf-themed cake. It came out so cute!

I bought the golfing toppers on Ebay for a couple dollars and with the use of my grass tip I made the green grass, and the "sand trap" is made of brown sugar.

This was a golden yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

I also bake a lot of cookies, and I will post pictures of some cookies and cakes later. I just wanted to give you an idea of what I like to bake & decorate for now. I'll be posting lots of recipes soon to some of my favorite treats so stay tuned :)
