Creative with Fondant

When it comes to using fondant I like to say I think at times outside of the box.  Using fondant doesn't only have to be just for cakes, cookies & cupcakes.  Last October when Rebecca & Shannon of Fresh Chick Design Studio were planning Rebecca’s “Baby Shower Happy Hour” to celebrate her third baby on the way, I had the idea to create coordinating fondant “glass rimmers” to make her drinks sweet.   For both the taste and presentation for her and her quests.

Take a look!  I adore this whole party from the colors to the reason to celebrate.  I also love the way they designed the cake with the fondant pieces that I sent to her.  

You can read and see more details on Hostesswith the Mostess where the party was featured!

 

What do you think?  What ways would you use fondant pieces while entertaining? 

CHEERS!! Happy Friday!  Enjoy your weekend! 

Peace, Love & Fondant~

Decorate it yourself cakes with custom Fondant Pieces!

In the last year I have had the opportunity to create custom fondant pieces for some very colorful and creative parties!  Just want to share some of the photos! 

Buying a professionally decorated cake from a bakery is not cheap.  But baking a cake yourself, with your little ones or buying an undecorated simply iced cake from your store and adding your own fondant pieces most certainly is affordable and FUN!

Sweet Product Features

Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone is doing well!  I have been super busy as we all are this time of year with spring sports, try-outs, baking & styling parties!  
I wanted to share in case you missed it features from this week with sweets that I created for two incredibly talented party stylists a few weeks ago!  

First up was a Mod Orange & Grey Baby shower that was featured on 

Hostess with the Mostess by Fresh Chick Studio ~  

I love the color scheme, fabrics & graphics of this party!  

Here is the whole dessert display styled by Rebecca & photo of the the fondant cake pieces that were created to accessorize her store bought cake.  Taking a traditional $9 cake with $25 fondant pieces for a cake that would more or less cost from a bakery $60 or more! 

  

Buying a cake from the bakery to dress up is certainly a trend that is catching on in the party world!  I first starting doing this last summer from my husbands birthday - click here to see!  

Now this is party certainly is fit from a princess with so many AMAZING details created by Nancy of A to Zebra Celebrations that was featured on Celebrations at Home!  

Her daughter turned 4, Hannah and all the little princesses enjoyed personalized crown cookies that day!  I love making the party about all the guests along with the guest of honor!  This was a perfect way to do so!

Fashionable Cake

So this week has been busy busy to say the least!  I am working quickly to get the etsy shop up with fondant pieces to accessorize your store bought & homemade cakes along with other sweet & creative things!

I have been doing utilizing this idea since last summer when we were on vacation and I needed a cake for my husbands birthday and I knew I would not be able to bake one myself.  I did know that I would be able to make fondant pieces prior to leaving on vacation to take with me to decorate a cake that a bakery simply dirty iced for me!  Check out the photos from my husband's 40th birthday last summer to see.

So with that and what was shown a few weeks ago from the Fresh Chick, I will be opening a shop with Fondant Pieces for you to dress up a bakery cake, store bought or a cake you simply bake yourself!

I will have very unique and fun pieces for everyone to take advantage of semi-decorating your cake!

Until then here is a sweet fashionable cake I was able to do for a fantastic tween this weekend!  Inspired by the legendary Barbie herself!  I am also on a shabby chic vintage kick with preparing for a shabby chic tea party in the upcoming weeks.  I love the look of this cake with the icing and fondant pieces.......

Peace, Love & Cakes~
