I've been meaning to post a picture of these cookies- sorry its taken me so long!
This cookies were also part of the Corset Cake order.  Using the same color scheme I created 2 dozen decorated sugar cookies.
Last time I decorated sugar cookies I flooded them with royal icing, this time I took a different approach and covered them with fondant first- then did the details in royal icing.  I have to say I like this new technique much better.  Using fondant to cover the cookie gives it a great smooth and even finish, perfect canvas to decorate.  I definitely plan on using this method for any future cookie orders.

Here is the Finished Product:

I sure hope the bride-to-be enjoyed the cookies!

A very dear old friend contacted me a few weeks ago to bake a cake and cookies for a bridal shower she was hosting.  When she sent me her design ideas I got very excited- it was something new for me and I couldn't wait to start putting the cake together.
She requested a corset-styled cake with the colors orange, purple and white.
After looking up various cake corset designs online I was able to come up with this one- which I must say, I'm very proud of!  This was my first real carved cake design.  I carved it free handed.  I was nervous that the bust wouldn't come out even but overall I think it all came out pretty well.
I sure hope everyone at the shower enjoyed the cake (both the outside and the inside!).
