Edible Decorations.

I tend to do a lot of craft/decorations from paper. Learning how to do decorations that are edible are pretty fun and exciting. I even went to take classes on how to do these. It's so fun that I went crazy afterwards in making them. To make these decorations, I've used royal icing and fondant/gumpaste. Hope you like them. I'm looking forward to learn more on how to use fondant to make other fun stuff.

I just love these roses. It took me a few tries to make these roses look nice. There are difficult to do, but once you managed how to do them, they are absolutely fun to make.
These are fondant leaves. I was trying to make autumn leaves for my cupcake decorations. It turned out ok. I've used a cookie cutter to cut the leaves. It was hard to mix the colour to match the colour of autumn. I've mixed orange and brown together for this, but the colour didn't seem to change.
I've made these mini pumpkins for my cupcake decorations as well. I had fun making them. They weren't that hard to do, and they turned out pretty amazing.

Mini Cupcakes

Recently I developed the interest to bake and decorate. It took me a few months. I started using cake mix to bake the cupcakes and gradually baking them from scratch using recipe found from online/books. The toping for the cupcake, I've used buttercream icing/cream cheese icing to spread the top. The decorations are done by piping buttercream flowers on the tope. I've also used fondant to make little pumpkins.

Here are pictures of some of the cupcakes I've made.
