Fast, sweet cookies

I love this recipe for being so suitable for many different purposes, i added cocoa and the taste surprised me pleasantly. With a generous dot of melted chocolate and freeze-dried fruits they also look delicious. Unfortunately these small treats are all now members of the group that didn´t make it through to christmas :-/

Cookie houses

I love making these little cookie houses, this is the third time i make them, and i try to make them different everytime. These are made efter a cute Christmas ornament i was given :)

Christmas Tree

I had tons of left-over fondant in all kinds of colours, so when i was given three dummies, i knew just what to do with it. Somehow, everytime i mix my left-over fondant in all kinds of colours, it allways come out brown...

I tried to disguise the very brown cake/dummy with stripes of white fondant, but maybe i shouldn´t have watched a film on telly at the same time. One really has to be precise to get them straight! The sugar-canes marks that the cake is best viewed from this angle - and this angle only ;-)

I loved! making the tree. A styrofoam cone with piped royal icing-shells. It just doesn´t get any easier. It looked really pretty in white, but it needed colour to go with the rest of the cake, so it´s painted with Americolor´s Forest Green diluted in clear alcohol.

Worlds most expensive christmas bauble

Since I´m not nearly rich enough to get me one of these i had to make one myself :) It´s a fondant-covered styrofoam ball with royal icing scrolls, painted with Edable Art´s Lemon Gold, guilded with glitter, also from Edable Art; Disco Gold Hologram - the ultimate christmas glitter in my opinion.

The rocking horses are meant to look like old ivory antique-figurines, but I´m not sure i got away with it. Still like them though.

-This cake/dummy and another one i made is going to be on display at Sofisticake from next week.

Ninjago Cake

The Ninjago team fortress - I made two of these for a birthday-boy. They were fun to make, its chocolate cakes with a thin layer of chocolate buttercreme - no fancy filling this time as i had to make them a couple of days in advance because of a tight schedule.

Figurines were added at the birthday party, and the boys were actually playing on the cakes :)
