Opening Day

Blue skies, fresh green grass and a marshmallow!

Hello Kitty Getting Ready to Work The Candle

I meant to post this yesterday! Here is the fondant Hello Kitty candle holder I made the other day in action! She’s ready to hold that candle steady…good job Kitty, you go girl!

Whole Foods Cupcakes - Wholly Delicious

I was setting up some cupcakes in my kitchen and after I put the first cupcake on the platter I just thought this looked like the most perfect picture. One single (very delicious) cupcake. I bought a whole bunch at Whole Foods Market, which has my favorite cupcakes. Rich moist cake with piled high frosting. I went out of my way to pick these up because I wanted to snack on a few myself, and since the baker at Whole Foods uses mostly ‘good’ ingredients (ie. less chemicals and preservatives), I don’t feel so guilty if I eat more than one at a sitting. Which I did..and they were DELICIOUS!

Hello Candle!

Look who made a super cute candle holder out of fondants! It was requested of me to make an edible Hello Kitty cake topper that could also hold a candle.  You’ll see in past posts that I’ve made Hello Kitty on marshmallows before, so I followed the same idea only skipped the marshmallow part molded a body and made space on the top for a candle.

I also made a mini Hello Kitty head sized for a cupcake. Too cute! Now if only I had my oven working, I could offer to make the cake as well!

Glitter Sprinkles

I’m always on the lookout for new embellishments and when I spotted these “Glitter Sprinkles” I scooped up a few jars. They are made by Festival and this particular jar is Jewel Blend…Don’t you love that? They are the fanciest sprinkles I’ve ever worked with. I dipped my marshmallows into candy coating and rather than just shaking on the sprinkles I carefully placed the sprinkles onto the marshmallow, so it would be neat and perfect and so I wouldn’t waste any. Each little sprinkle has a pearly finish, I’ll definitely be seeking out more products from Festival!

Double pleasures

This is a simple and elegant marshmallow creation. White chocolate dipped marshmallows with a whole Lindt truffle on top. I used real white chocolate to coat the marshmallows, not candy coating. Since I was putting real (real yummy) chocolate balls on top, I wanted to make sure I used the good white chocolate on the marshmallow.

Simple. Simply delicious.

Kiss Me I’m Irish…

...Or Kiss me I’m a scary alien vampire with a green beret trying to pose as a leprechaun.  I had a vision of what my painted marshmallow would look like and this…was..not..quite it. It could be worse, but could be better! But bottoms up, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
