My ladybug



Hey ladybug!


I have been thinking of ways to brand my work (cupcakes, parties, decor, etc.) I thought of having a signature color, but that would only work in the logo. I thought of having a signature theme, but couldn't figure out how to apply it to all projects. Then I thought I'd try a symbol, but what to use?


Well, I refer to everyone as "ladybug". Its a term of endearment and it helps when you can't remember someone's name :) I didn't know how I would infuse my ladybug into my branding plan. When I came across a ladybug fondant topper in Hobby Lobby, I knew I found what I was looking for. Now I only needed to make it mine.


My first ladybugs were made with rolling red fondant in a ball for the body. Using black fondant for the head and a edible writing pen for the spots and line down the back. That was very tedious. I simplified the process by rolling out the red fondant and cutting small circles for the body (eliminating the rolling step.)


I am trying royal icing for the ladybugs this week. We'll see how that works out...

Gift Sets



I found these adorable boxes! They hold 6 cupcakes or a 6 inch smash cake. These are great for gifts for any occasion (birthdays, anniversaries, promotions) or just because. Everyone deserves a little something sweet. 


Do something Sweet....

The adventures of my cake decorating class Part 2 - 


I forgot to take pictures of part one, so please forgive me. In the 2nd class we learned quite a bit about using icing and the different tips. I am so excited! Can't wait to try out my newly acquired skills.
