More Gum Paste and Another Birthday!

I have discovered gum paste...and I am having way to much fun with it! I made this little horse, cowgirl hat, horse whip and all the flowers with gum paste. I love it! I have also discovered that I have an artist in me just waiting be let out. I always thought to be an artist you had to be able to draw, paint or something like that. I guess....I am a sculptor.

Here is the cake that a friend ask me to make for her grand daughter's 9th birthday. She said that she wanted a cowgirl cake. So, this is what I came up with. I had a blast making this cake!

Happy Birthday Christina! I hope you had a great day and I hope you loved your cake!

My First Gum Paste Person.....

My friend Jessica is about to have her fourth baby. Yesterday my moms group threw a baby shower for her. I volunteered to make the cake and cupcakes. I decided that I was going to try and make my first gum paste person. OK, I have to laugh and its OK if you do too! She is way to big for my cake, she is supposed to look pregnant, and she has kankles (is that how you spell it?)

LOL. I think it turned out pretty cute....and hey I learned something right? Congrats to my friend Jessica! We hope to see that baby soon. :) I may have to do a tutorial on gum paste when I get a little better at it. It really is a lot of fun!

And......She's 18

Well tomorrow is a happy, yet sad day for me my baby girl turns 18 (sigh...where does time go?). She ask me to make a very special cake for her 18th birthday. This is what I came up with, all the things she loves; flowers, makeup, the color pink, zebra print and shoes. You can eat everything on this cake. The flowers, makeup, shoe and tag are all gum paste. The box is fondant and the bottom cake is butter cream frosting. Happy Birthday Abbie, I love you very, very much! I am blessed and proud to be your mom.

More Edible Image Cookies....the possibility's are endless.

A friend ask me to make her some edible image cookies for their school yesterday. They are the Farmers. I love my edible ink printer! The possibility's are very endless. I think that they turned out really cute! Thank you Lisa! I hope everyone enjoys them today.
