Go Blue!

Michigan Football will kick-off tomorrow at Cowboy Classic in Arlington, TX. So excited! I'm dedicating these cookies to an exciting season to come in a day! Go Blue!

 

Luau Cake

My friend is throwing a surprise luau birthday party. The cake to go with that; not-so-sweet Luau Cake. 

Strawberry cream is nice and fresh for summer pool party and definitely mild on sweetness. Chocolate covered pretzel sticks added tiki touch and color contrast to soft pink of the cream. Last but not least, large hibiscus flowers for eye-catcher :). I used gum paste to be stable and to look as real as it could be. Little bit of red dusting on the petal added life in the flowers and it was ready to go on the cake!

Running Trail Cake ~Vegan version~

Surprising birthday bash plan is in the works among our running friends! It was no brainer that the cake will be running theme. The cake was vegan - chocolate cake with tofutti cream cheese frosting. A running trail lined with trees would be perfect. Pretzel sticks come in handy for many occasions :). I piped green icing around it...cute ♥

Grass was put down with green tinted coconut flake. Icing trees were put up. A finish banner to add the finishing touch...so the road is a running course :D.
