Put a little girl together with her current favorite movie, add her 4th Birthday, and what do you get? A fun-filled "How to Train Your Dragon" party! A grand time was had by all. The cake itself was yummy-with made-to-look-like-granite buttercream, chocolate candy rocks and a hand-moldeled baby "Toothless" Dragon. In addition there were hilarious Viking Horn Hat Weecakies as favors. The Viking hats are chocolate cake truffles with chocolate horns, dipped in special gray-tinted chocolate with added trim. We laughed ourselves silly as we put them together. Isn't that what our jobs should be-tasks that challenge our creativity and abilities, but also bring joy and laughter to ourselves and others? Happy Birthday to a sweet 4-year old and a wonderful day to everyone else!
Love,
Weecakies
A favorite client called and asked if I could make pink rattles for an up-coming baby-girl shower and I welcomed the challenge. After trying many simple ideas such as a swirl around each end of the rattle, glitter and sugar, I decided to modify my Yummy Bear Weecakies into this rattle design. There is a cake-ball on each end of a larger-gauge sucker stick, dipped in pastel-pink chocolate. The bear face is made using chocolate candies before dipping and then decorating with handmade chocolate hearts and chocolate bows with black eye pearl candies.
Of course they could be any color or cake flavor to fit into your party plans. The pic on the left is how I package them for favors. They were lots of work, with loads of hand-applied detail, but totally worth it. I had fun creating again!
Happy Weecakie Teddybear Rattles!
Love,
Weecakies
