Peonies, and more Peonies

 So.....I've been working on perfecting my hand-made peonies.  Then I thought, why not take pictures with real peony foliage in the background (the upper two on the left) and, well......here they are.  I hope you like them as much as I do.  Some lucky bride will get to have them on her lovely wedding cake I hope!        
Happy Day!

Grand-daughters and Weecakie Teddybears

 
     My sweet Grand-daughters Emma and Leah came to visit last week.  We had lots of fun making Weecakie Teddybears.  Leah loves chocolate and purple, so she made brown teddys and purple teddys.  You can see that we use M&Ms to make the ears and muzzle of the bears, so Leah was concentrating on getting them placed just right.  Then Dad helped Leah dip her bears in the brown and purple chocolate.

      When the bears are dipped, you have to place the nose (we use mini-M&Ms) on the tip of the muzzle before the chocolate sets up.  Leah chose to use a selection of all the different colors for her noses.

     Emma, on the other hand, wanted lemon Weecakie Teddybears.  We used fruit-flavored skittles for the ears and noses- 'cause we thought that chocolate and lemon together sounded yucky.
          
    
  
    Emma wanted yellow teddys and green teddys, and then she wanted to color-coordinate their noses.  Don't they look neat?  Emma is very proud of her green and yellow bears.

 
       Ta Da!  Our Teddybears are GREAT!
....and we are all happy and smiling amid our mess of chocolate, M&Ms, Skittles, lemon cake and chocolate cake.  Wowie!

              We love our brown, purple, yellow, and green Weecakie Teddybears, and we love eating them too!  It was great fun having Leah and Emma visit and make bears with me.  Hope you have a Happy Weecakie Day!  

Love, 
Weecakies :)

Weecakies Sweet Mice

   I took a much-needed diversion from fancy wedding cakes to make these cuties for a dear friend earlier this week.  They are having a Mad-Hatter-style tea party for their 1-year-old daughter's birthday and needed some sweet mice to round out the offerings.  The cakepops are yummy deep dark chocolate cake truffles, dipped in tinted Callebaut chocolate with chocolate tails and ears. Pink pearl noses and tiny piped chocolate eyes finish the faces.  I think that they are cute enough to be eaten.....Hurry before they scamper away!   Happy Birthday to a darling little girl!

Love,
