Fall Cookie Bouquet

Last Sunday, I taught a Fall Cookie Bouquet class at Ms Debbie's Sugar Art. There were only 5 students, and I think that was perfect! There was plenty of room to move around, lots of individual instruction, and enough time to socialize. Best of all, the students completed a cookie bouquet just in time for Thanksgiving! Yummy!

This is the finished bouquet:


There were 3 fall leaves, 1 pumpkin (with orange sparkles!), 1 turkey, and 1 acorn.

Notice that little blemish on the left side of the turkey? Well, as the instructor, I had to sacrifice the perfection of my piece to demonstrate what would happen if you touch the flooded icing as it dries. Yea, that's the ticket...


I think the turkey and the acorn are my favorites. So cute!


Check out more photos on Ms Debbie's Sugar Art Facebook Fan Page. And, if you're interested, we'll be doing a winter cookie bouquet as well as a gingerbread house class in December! Check Debbie's website for more info on those classes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall-Themed Cakes

Ok, I suppose Fall is finally here. Don't get me wrong - I love the changing colors of the leaves and the slightly cool air. But, if Fall is here, it means Winter is right around the corner, and I am NOT a cold weather fan! I live in Florida! Isn't it supposed to be cool, warm, hot, hotter, and hottest? Let's veto the cold months, shall we?

We've already done a few Fall-themed cakes at the bakery. The first one was a sheet cake with white piping on the sides. We topped the cake with sugar leaves, berries, pumpkins, and acorns.


The second one was for a Fall-themed wedding. The sides of the cake were decorated with brown vines, and the whole cake sat on a hexagonal mirror. The cake topper was made up of sugar leaves, berries, pumpkins, and pears.


*sigh* Fall colors - don't you just love them?
