Two Celebrations

These treats were prepared for two celebrations that took place at our local senior center this past June.  The first was a celebration on Flag Day to honor those who have served our country so proudly and to remind us of our amazing heritage.

The second gathering celebrated our wonderful center garden featuring flowers and vegetables.  Volunteers did an exceptional job at maintaining this garden throughout the year.

My cookies were served at the celebration... bugs and flowers, of course!

Cakes for Special Interests

These cakes were designed to highlight a hobby or special interest.  It's always fun to choose a design that speaks very personally to the honored guest or guests!

For a special mom who loves to quilt.  The quilt "panels" were made using a
color flow technique with an icing similar to royal icing.



For a lady who loves giraffes!



For a music lover!

Aloha! A Luau and Hula Girls

These two cakes were created for Hawaiian themed parties.  One was for a luau and the other celebrated a birthday for two little hula girls.  Accent palm trees and sun were made in chocolate molds and the flowers were gumpaste.

The "girls" were made of a fondant and gumpaste mixture.  The shells were also molded chocolate.

My first attempt at a gumpaste hibiscus!  The colors matched the flowers on the party invitations.
