Project 10 – Quilling Topper – Letter B

Project 10 - Quilling Toppers

 

To make up for my absence the past days/week, I’ll try to catch up with the posts this week 😉 by  displaying some new designs and opening my recipe section – where I plan to post something new once a month.

Today, I present to you a quilling cake topper. Not only it is completely edible (all made with gum paste, no wires) but it also looks pretty good on a B-day  cake.

Project 09 – Flowers (yet again)

Yet again I am surrounded by sugar flowers. Today a selection of wild rose (garden rose), daisy and a perennial tulip (a kind of hybrid tulip that has some frills).

I confess being in love with sugar flower making, but soon I’ll come up with new projects and, of course, new cakes!

Happily Ever Afters

If you have a sweet tooth, these beauties are definitely for you.

A tradition in Brazil, borrowed from Portugal, the “bem casados” (happily marrieds, or, for me, happily ever afters) are a gift the newly weds give to their beloved guests for having attended the ceremony.

Despite the variations that are popping up (brownies and gingerbread based; with chocolate, lime, pistachio and pecan fillings) they normally consist of two small circle of sponge cake attached by a decadent dulce de leche filling and coated with sugar. They are fluffy, moist, sweet (have I mentioned sweet? I think I need to emphasize it… ;)) and a party in your mouth. I could risk saying they are the macaroons of cakes, but without all the crumbling.

I’ll be posting some recipes soon and this is one that you should surely try.
