Quick Projects

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.  I had a busy time traveling for three weeks between Washington, New York, and Boston enjoying the holidays, but still going to school.  During the broken up weeks that we were in school we decorated sugar cookies using the colorflow method.  We made runny royal icing and piped an edge around the cookies and then "flooded" the cookies with the icing.

We also made some cupcakes trying out vegan and gluten free recipes.  Some were good, others just ok. We decorated them with fondant practicing making cutouts and using impression molds.  

Another project was practicing covering cakes with fondant and piping upside down swags with royal icing.  We also used fondant to make roses that are supposed to look like they are made out of fabric. To finish off the cake we stenciled on top of the cakes.

Hope everyone is having a great 2012! Thanks for reading and Bon Appetit!
