Ribbon art hair clips

I absoultly love making hair bows and clippies. These are the newest ones I've made. Here we have Tinkerbell, Minnie Mouse, a bumble bee, a strawberry, a rose, a christmas tree, a lady bug and a watermelon slice. I had a blast creating this ribbon art hair clippies. All clips are attached to a lined alligator clip (which a non slip grip can be added for free). I will also make all the disney princesses and some ballerinas as well as an apple, a pumkin, a ghost, and many others, I'll be posting pics as i finish them

a girl and her dogs!

When this client contacted me and asked for a cake for her 9 yr old daughter, the 1st thing i asked was what theme, then i found out she didnt have a theme. when we started talking about what she liked and disliked, it was apparent that she loved her 3 dogs. i went with that as the theme of her cake along with her favorite colors to come up with this cake. She emailed me pics of her daughter and her 3 doggies and i molded the fondant figures to resemble them. i did add a large green number nine behind the dogs ontop of the cake after i took the pic. i also added her name again to her smash cake. this was such a fun cake to make. I was very pleased when she came to pick it up and she was soo happy about the way it turned out. she really loved the cake.

tutus, tiaras and zebra print











this was a small 1st birthday cake done for a little girl whose birthday theme was tutus, tiaras and zebra print. the cake is a confetti sprinkle cake with bc frosting, and the rest is all fondant. the little girl, tiara, number 1, zebra print and tutu around the cake are hand molded fondant. the only things with shimmer on them are the tutu the number 1 and the tiara but i guess the flash of my camera made everything look shimmery. i loved making this cake. it was soo much fun to do, i love creating little people for cakes.
