A Sign of things to come?

The fondant is too fresh (yes, there is such a thing) and so heavy, the clocks and numbers aren't upright like I had imagined.  I know I can make it better but if no orders come in for them, I will remember to make the fondant clocks and numbers way ahead of time (no pun intended!).  Another confession, I really meant to set the time on these to 11:55 and instead reversed the hands to make it only 11:00 PM!  Oh well, the last hour before midnight on New Year's Eve is usually the most interesting!  I hope the recipients of these delish babycakes will enjoy them regardless of the time!!

2010 Coming Soon........

Completed an order last night and afterwards had the New Year on my mind. Came up with a little design which I will bake on Tuesday for a sample batch that's headed for Island Trees! I hope it comes out as good as it looks on paper!

The holidays are my favorite time of year and with my kids growing, I know how special it will be for them looking forward to fun delicious treats at home. These are my samples for two schools that I'll be delivering to shortly and hoping for the orders to follow but honestly, the fun in baking and decorating these couldn't be described. I kept smiling the whole time and just know some teachers will be smiling in Levittown and Long Beach today!!
Not my favorite but so yummy, you may want more than one!

Credit to Karen Tack for her design but probably the most fun to make out of the holiday sample batch! Love these guys!!
First try makin these trees and had a problem getting them to fit into my boxes so only two are taller, had to trim my baby ice cream cones (that what's under that thick layer of green colored chocolate) to remedy that obstacle but think maybe colored lights for any future batches would look better. Learning as I go..........
Simple yet so inviting!! This is the kinda snow I LOVE!!!
