Cookie Monster Cake


This little cookie monster was made using the baseball pan.  Cut a little off the bottom so it doesn’t roll off.  I used the star tip for most of this.  Cut a small wedge for the mouth and add a cookie and it will bring a smile to the kids of any age.

Cake and Mini Cupcakes


One of my friends had found a picture in a magazine that had cupcakes suspended above a cake and thought it would be great for her boss’ birthday cake.   I tried several different different thing but couldn’t get it to stay up so I made my own.  I took some plastic straws and the rose stands that you would use to make a icing rose and hotglued them together with the glue on the inside of the straw so that nothing was on the outside.  I waited until right before the party to put the mini cupcakes on then surrounded the rest of the cake to make a festive display.
