Kit Kat Piano

Couldn't be any easier. 

9 x 13 and an 8 inch stacked and cut to shape. White Kit-Kats and the regular brown cut in half.

My favorite part was the extra touch of sheet music under wax paper.

 

Babymouse Birthday!

 

Babymouse. 

Only the best graphic novel series ever.

Really.

Just ask my 7 year old.

Super Why's Woofster

I tried this method again.

  And again, didn't like how it turned at all. Mine completely ripped apart. 

Then I realized the frosting doesn't freeze well that because I make it dairy-free. 

If you didn't have to do that, I think the method would work great.

I just did my best to patch it up and our 4 year old didn't mind one bit :D

 

 

Grandma John's 80th Birthday: Button Cake

Gender Revel Cupcakes

To announce the gender of my baby, I made these cupcakes.  I baked a dab of dyed blue cake batter in the middle of the cupcake.  Then topped them with blue and pink swirled frosting.  Very cute.

Simple white with red accent Wedding Cake

Peg + Cat

I was only going to have 10 minutes on the birthday to do this cake so wanted one with only a couple colors and thought I'd try a new technique to speed up my last minute work. I tried this method

 and didn't like how it turned at all (so redid the frosting on top. So much for saving time. Luckily this was a super easy design.) I do like the idea so may try it again another time.
