Icecream Sandwich

We made delicious ice cream sandwiches today! The cookies were a little hard but the ice cream softened them a bit and made them delicious :)

Royal Icing Flowers

These were fun and entertaining to make. They were also a bit of a challenge as the icing kept melting, but they turned out okay.

Star Cookies

We helped make star cookies for the jazz cabaret! We were allowed to eat the burnt ones - they were delicious!

Fondant Cake!

After more than a month of fondant "training" and preparation, we made our fondant cakes. Mine was a "pasture" theme, so I decorated it with daisies and a little dairy cow! Moo!

Fondant Flowers

Amongst the many different fondant flowers we made, my favorites were the daisies. They were fun, and looked really pretty if made properly! The roses were also fun to make.

Cake Pops

Although at first glance cake pops look dainty and innocent, if you attempt to make them, you will realize that they are not as they seem. Cake pops were an absolute hell to make. If the placement of the cake ball was not secured well enough on the stick (which it usually wasn't, as the cake would crumble around the glue-like icing), the entire cake pop would fall off. This usually occurred in the dipping process, as that was when the cake pops would undergo the most movement. Not only was it hell to fish out the cake from the icing, the liquidity of the icing would further crumble the cake, leaving a trail of brown sludge in the once pristine white icing. However, the few cake pops that we managed to successfully make did turn out quite well.

Easter Eggs!

Having ukrainian roots, I very much enjoyed making these traditional ukrainian style easter eggs. Although at first it was hard to get used to using the wax and different dyes, the more I got used to using it the more fun it was. I used light purple, green and blue for my colours (not so traditional). Although I attempted to store it in my fridge, I accidentally dropped it, spewing rotten egg everywhere which was not fun to clean up.
