Mike Wazowski Monster Cookies

From the Disney magazine issue 5; Mike Wazowski Monster Cookies. Plain vanilla cookies decorated with piped and run out royal icing.

Halloween Cake Pops

A few vanilla cake pops decorated especially for halloween using a combination of royal icing and roll out icing. Not very impressed with the results, royal icing just ran off, could do with two coats next time and need better black piping details, a paper icing bag just isn't precise enough, but too little icing to use a nozzle! hmm.

Whale Birthday Cake

Just to get in some practise i made this cake for my husband's birthday lol! I covered the cake by tinting white fondant pale blue, then tinted it again for the detail around the edge. The edge was made with a 'multi spot embosser' from issue 59 of  'Cake Decorating' magazine, although i cut out all the spots so you could see through to the pale blue base.The whale was also from the same issue and made by tinting the mid blue fondant again and moulding into a whale shape. The water coming from the whale's blowhole was made from white fondant as were the bubles underneath him.
Just to show the chocolate cake inside.

Simba's Perfect Peanut Brittle

From the new Disney magazine (issue 5). Simba is the baby lion from the lion king. Here peanuts are covered in syrup which hardens to form the brittle which is broken into managable pieces.
This is before I snapped it into pieces. If you love peanuts and toffee (as i do) you'll love this.

Pink Birthday Cake (sister-in-law's)

I needed to practise using my Cricut Cake and the next nearest birthday was my sister-in-law so this was for her. A 3 tiered vanilla sponge covered with pale pink fondant icing and white cutouts using my cricut cake with a little piped detail to some of the shapes. I think I still need to perfect cutting out the shapes as the fondant seemed too soft and didn't always cut out without spoiling the shape.

Eeyore's Crunchy Nut Cookies

From the new Disney magazine (issue 4). Made with syrup and hazelnuts. The original recipe used pecan nuts but i didn't have any and love hazelnuts the best anyway. Very delicious, i guess Eeyore likes them too!

Mater's Rocky Road

From the new Disney Magazine (issue 4). Mater is the truck from cars. Chocolate chip and syrup cookie base covered with a mixture of marshmallows, glacé cherries and chocolate. Lovely if you have a sweet tooth.
