Christmas Lights & Mini-Trees.

Christmas lights cupcakes.  Made of cupcakes, icing, graham crackers, pretzels, gumdrops, twizzlers, sprinkles...the list goes on!  Perfect for any Christmas party.

The lighting is bad on this - but these are mini-cupcakes with Christmas trees piped on top.  Powdered sugar for a snowy effect!

AutoBell Cake.

Someone very close to me works for AutoBell Car Wash in the Charlotte area - and I was asked to make a cake for their in-house Christmas party.  (The petit fours below were for them, too.) I asked if I could do a logo cake for them along with their order, and well - I'd say it turned out pretty good!  This was all piped by hand after transferring the logo with piping gel.  Pretty cool!

Christmas Petit Fours.

This was our (me and mom) first attempt at making petit fours.  Boy, was it a lot harder than you would expect!  Making sure to have all 5 surfaces smooth and presentable proved to be difficult with buttercream, but overall they were worth it!   Trying something new and learning the tricks of the trade is what it's all about!
