Cookies: These are from a Christmas Cookie Demo that I did for the Standard Examiner last November. It was so much fun! My purpose was to show how you can make Christmas themed cookies out of basic shapes, the circle & star. Not pictured is a 3 dimensional tree made out of stars of different sizes. I was even featured in the newspaper!

Cake balls! The colored drizzle tells the flavor.
Orange = orange; pink = strawberry; yellow = lemon.

I may be a cake decorator but I am definitely a cookie eater.
This is my favorite recipe!

Yellow cake, poured fondant to cover, & chocolate stripes.

Well, here's the reveal:

Happy Birthday Sidney!

Friday was my oldest niece's 7th birthday. I offered to make her birthday cake & asked what she wanted. She decided pretty quickly. Here are pictures of "phase 1". I'll let you wonder for a bit & maybe make some guesses as to what you think it is. =o) Happy guessing!
