Easter Bunny, Eggs and Carrots

A mini dummy - just playing around with a new type of fondant. Seems like the fondant-issues i´ve had are close to a solution. A major relief, since i have to make the most important cake ever; My daughter´s confirmation-cake a couple of months from now ;)

I´m beginning to look forward to play with fondant again. Loving this!

25.04.2011: Made it to Cakewrecks Sunday sweets-section - Yay! :) I´m so glad Jen headlined it "a perfect combination of elegance and whimsy" as it was just what i was aiming for - thanks Jen! :)

Vintage Easter

The incredibly cute hare-picture is found at the Graphic fairy 

The top is stencilled - my aim was to make the colours look a

bit more patinised, but one only gets one shot at this, so...

Blue easter

Using easter patchwork-cutters for ribbons this time. Much easier to use them for embossing, than using them as cutters, they are very detailled.

I like how this looks. It just had me thinking, Should i paint the details or not? It would have been nice with some spring colours on this but  i don´t think it was meant to be. (Or i´m too lazy ;)

Styrofoam egg on top with sugargun-string wound around.

Easter-Bunnies

Cute easter-bunnies - inspired by the Oh deer-cake.

I forgot the whiskers, grrr...

Easter Sheep in butter-flower field

So this is the renewed dummy from way back.

It now has a smooth white surface, and all the dust - and there was a lot - is gone.

Marbled eggs and spring flowers

The sheep in his little peacefull corner of the butter-flower field.

Easter Cookies

I continued with the purple-speckled pattern on these cookies. I think it´s so pretty and couldn´t come up with anything else i wanted to do. I bent the ears a bit on the small bunnies, it made them look nice and goofy :)

Easter Truffles

The cutest small sweets for easter. Truffle-dough in a chocolate egg-mold covered in fondant, speckled with dark purple, white and gold.

Painted easter cookies

Hand painted cookies. Frosted first with fondant, then painted with diluted food coloring.

Easy Easter cookies

Super easy easter cookies. Patchwork cutters are great for imprints on cookie dough before baking, but almost any cutter is suitable.

Recipe here.

Maileg Bunnies

A dummy i made with Maileg bunnies.

Cute, cute Maileg-bunnies! :) 

A tiled border - loved making this! Not as hard to make as i feared. I used my patchwork diamond design cutter for the first time i think, since i bought it 5 years ago...

The hearts and eggs are cut out from embossed pieces of fondant.

Waiting for easter...

It´s a bit early, but whilst waiting for easter i thought i´d show a couple of my earlier easter-projects - and two sneak peeks:

 

Sugarcraft from 2010:

2009 - A chocolate truffle-cake

Easter Cookies 2009:

I have made a couple of easter-projects already, and will -of course- show... in time ;)
Sneak peek:

Tilda

A Tilda Egg. This is my first competition-cake.

A small easter-competition at Kagekompagniet. It´s a Pina Colada cake

with nougat-ganache and cover of marzipan with decorations of sugarpaste.

It won 1. prize :)

 

The real thing - another motif though
