Decorative cookies kept simple and easy with just two colors. If you’ve been reading, then you know last week I had Callye of Sweet Sugar Belle Adventures guest post on the baking basics of decorating cookies with royal icing.
Well I figured no better time than the present to put all her tips and tricks to work for these fun cookies I made for a bachelor party.
Today’s post is from one of Diane of Created by Diane. Diane and I met a year ago and I consider her friend and a very talented blogger, so I’m excited and honored to have her guest posting. She’s here to share with us her tips and tricks to decorating cupcakes with one my favorite tips, Wilton’s 2D. If you’ve been to her site, then you know she can wield some decorating magic with this tip. If not, head over after you are done here not only to see her beautiful cupcake creations, but all her delicious sweets and mouth watering savory dishes.
. . . And, look how sweet she is, she even used my favorite color orange.
I’m thrilled that Naomi asked me to guest post today. I’ve been drooling over Naomi’s blog for sometime now. Did you know she and I have actually met. She is not only extremely talented but one of the sweetest most sincere people I’ve ever met. My blog is filled with sweet treats and savory eats. Today I’ll be sharing with you some cupcake decorating.
This cake has all the holiday scents and spices wrapped in a nutty brown butter cake and finished with a splash of tart cranberries and evened out with some chopped pears.
Too bad it was 80-plus degrees this weekend. So while my cake may have smelled like Christmas, as Matt describes it, we both bemoaned the fact that it felt like summer. I couldn’t help it though, I’m one of those annoying people when Halloween is over I’m ready for the Christmas decorations to come out and play. Well since Halloween isn’t until tomorrow, I was itching to get started with some Christmas, so I baked a cake.
Makes perfect sense.
