Grandma's Birthday

My Grandma celebrated her 75th birthday this month. I was happy to help in the celebration of the life of such a wonderful, loving woman in my life. She gave me a box of old photos to make a collage to put on display at the dinner party. It was so much fun to go through them and see Grandma as a tiny tot on her 1st birthday!
 Royal icing transfers are my favorite way to dress up cupcakes. I used the flower from Saru's Flower Ding and traced.

 The finished display:
Happy Birthday Grandma! xoxo

Engagement Ring Cookies

I wanted to do something special for the engagement party for Michelle and John so I set out to make some engagement ring cookies. I was crossing my fingers each step of the way hoping they came out like I imagined.


First outlined with gray icing, which would then become the silver part.




Added the white for the diamonds.


After adding all the little details, painted on the silver luster. Again, crossing my fingers at each step because there were 5 dozen and I was not about to start over.


And they worked! The pictures don't do the sparkles/shiny parts justice but they definitely added the necessary touches to the rings.


Then I packaged and prepared them to be shipped to NY with LOTS of bubble wrap and a tiny prayer they would arrive in the same condition they left.
