Bakers Clay

While we were at the real cookie cut-out making, we went ahead and
made some bakers clay for fun! These are painted with acrylic paint
and just regular ol' markers. And of course, some not painted at all. :)

Cut Out Cookies

I have been on the hunt for the perfect "cut out" sugar cookie recipe along with the ideal icing recipe to go with them for a long time now. This cookie recipe didn't disappoint! However..still looking for the good icing. This one was okay, but was too hard and "crunchy" after only a day. So we will keep trying until we get it. :) Never-the-less, the kids always enjoy being my cookie taste-testers :D

Miniature Cake Ring

I don't know why this is underlining...but anyway, I've had this ring for a little while now and I love the pictures we took of it. So I thought I'd make it a showcase for today. :) It's a polymer clay chocolate layered cake with strawberries on top of whipped-cream piles. :) I wish I had the real thing right now! This next-best-thing is listed up on my Etsy if you'd like to see more.

Garden Gnome

Sold!!

The cute little garden-plant gnome has gone to a new home over the weekend. My very first listing up on Etsy...he kinda hung around for a while watching over the rest of the items being listed. Then his listing expired and I debated over keeping him or putting him back up again. I went ahead and put him up and the next thing you know, he stole someone's heart! I hope he enjoys his new home :)

S'Mores Ring

Sold!!

The S'Mores ring I had listed on Etsy sold in just a day, I'm happy to say. :) Always kinda sad to see something go, but nice to know someone likes my work! I am thinking about making some more (har har) of these soon ;) tee-hee!

Birthday Cake

The birthday girl (friend's foster daughter) had her big first birthday!! This was a couple weeks ago, but I only just recently had time to get the picture off the camera (ok I forgot to do it until just a while ago...). I got to make the cake and she wanted a big number "1" and "pink". So I made pink frosting and left a border unfrosted around the edge as you can see... I thought gave it a nice, sophisticated look. And the cake itself is also pink! :D Yummy, too! :)

Check it out :)
