Duck Dynasty cake

My family doesn't have cable or satellite, so we were slow to board the Duck Dynasty train.  We love to watch it as a family, which I can't say that about most shows.  I love that they are religious and people I'd actually like my kids to learn from. They are good, hard working people.

I decided to surprise my son with a Duck Dynasty cake. I found a great tutorial here.

My beard turned out too gray and the headband should have been bigger.  I used royal icing instead of fondant. It turned out good enough, so try your hand at it!

Our superhero's birthday!

My hubby usually doesn't care much about what kind of cake I make for his birthday.  This year I got inspired by these superhero plates.  It was lost on my kids until we showed them classic Batman episodes.  I just baked and frosted a two layer cake.  I just choose a box mix and add an extra egg and a instant pudding  packet.  Then bake according to box directions.

I printed and cut out the Superman symbol. Gently set it on the cake and trace it with a toothpick.  Then fill it in with a frosting filled bag.  Everyone was pleased with the results, especially since it was a crazy, busy day!

High Heeled cupcakes!

My daughter wanted a spa themed party this year and so I looked through my pinterest ideas.  I found this great tutorial and she loved them.  These were fun to build and design! The girls loved them.  

If you want try them, this is the best tutorial from How Does She.
