"Every Child is an Artist"

The theme of this party was "Every child is an Artist".  The cake was a 10" round cake carved out like a painter's palette.  I used royal icing to make the splatter marks on the cake and the paint blots on top.  The inside of the cake was made with multicolored batter so when the cake was cute the colors exploded.

The "Every child is an artist" cookie was white royal icing with "Every child is an artist" printed on edible rice paper and placed on top.

The palette cookies where round cookies covered in white royal icing with royal icing paint blots.

Mario Bro. Star

This week I took a break from cakes to make cookies.  My friend asked me to make the star from the Mario Bro.'s game for her son Jarred's Mario Brothers themed party.  Honestly I don't enjoy making cookies as much as I enjoy making cakes, but I made an exception for my friend's special request.

These cookies were 3 inch sugar cookies with lemon flavored royal icing.  I made the eyes by simply cutting out oval pieces of black fondant and placing them onto the stars.  I must say I did enjoyed making these batch of cookies, but I enjoyed sampling them even more.
