Butterfly Cookie

This cookie was made at "Golda's Kitchen" Cookie Decorating Class. I took the class to dabble in cookies outside of cakes. The cookie is a shortbread cookie which was then covered in fondant. Using a venetian rolling pin, I rolled it across fondant, used the same cookie cutter used to cut out the cookie shape, to cut out the shape in fondant. Using piping gel, I adhered the fondant to the cookie and used Metallic Gold Paint to outline the raised parts of the pattern.

Voila!

These cookies are perfect take-home gifts and can be customized to  match your theme.

Happy Baking!

Royalty Cake

A friend of mine ordered this royal cake for her boyfriend's 25th birthday. It was an interesting thing to make.

The navy blue fondant was achieved by starting with white fondant. I then used Wilton's Colour Right System starting with drops of blue mixing with red and pink. Eventually after getting the blue colour, I then darkened it with a bit of black. Voila! 

After quilting the side of the cake, I stuck gold pearls to the side.  I melted white chocolate into a numbers mold and placed in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. After I took them out, I painted the numbers as well as the crown with an "old gold" lustre dust from Golda's Kitchen. 

The front "Happy Birthday Kareem" sign was made by his girlfriend using paper and sparkles. And lastly, the car  is a black Audi - which is what he drives daily.

Happy Baking!
