Butterfly Garden
This is the Butterfly Garden I did for our friends little girl, she is a sweetheart and just wanted flowers and butterflies. All buttercream with 4 different kinds of cupcakes, lemon filled with blueberries and cream, Chocolate with chocolate covered bananna filling, White Velvet with a raspberry and cream filling and finally Shortcake cupcakes filled with strawberry and cream. Please excuse the cross section picture, I saved one of each in the frige so I could get pictures, but by the time I did a week had gone by, so they look dried out, but they were moist and delicious a the party. The butterflies on the cupcakes are chocolate

Sweet Wooley Lambs
I made these sweet lil' lambs for a a baby shower a friend was throwing. I couldn't find a large wooly lamb cookie cutter anywhere, so I made a template and hand cut these, worked great and thankfully she only needed 18. They were 5in, No Fail Sugar Cookie (NFSC) with Tobas Glace Icing and brushed with Pearl Dust. They were individually bagged and tagged for the shower.

Tom Selleck Hairy Chest Cake
This is my version of the Tom Selleck Hairy Chest Cake, lol. Done for a friends 40th Birthday. Must say flesh colored frosting is just creepy, but this was a fun cake to make. Done freehand with pictures of the original standing by for reference. You really can't go wrong with chest hair sprinkles.

Sweet 15 Soccer Birthday
This bouquet was for donated for a church silent auction. Ended up with the request last minute so I only had 1 1/2 days to make this one. The winner requested a birthday set and it had to have soccer involved. NFSC with glace icing, I used my Cricut to make the soccer ball templet, outlined the negative space on the cookie w/ food color pen and filled in with icing, I was scared they wouldn't come out properly, but was happy with the results.

Cows On Parade
These were made for a birthday bouquet for a friends MIL who has a love of cows :) I was a little unsure about the cows, but I like the way they came out. NFSC w/ Creme Bouquet iced with Toba's Glace. For the bouquet I used the method Shiney shared of attaching the sticks to the bags vs. the cookies, works like a charm!

Candy & Cookie Delight
Thanks to all of the inspiration here! I tried 2 things I've wanted to for a bit, a candy barrel cake and a cookie layer thank you raquel1! Let me tell you the candy barrel was amazingly easy to do and the cookie layer drew rave reviews, several people said it was the best cake they've ever tasted. If you're looking for something new and exciting try the cookie layer! Triple chocolate fudge cake (1 layer torted) layered with chocolate BETTERcream and PB cookie. Rich, Sinful, Delightful!
