Strawberry Shortcake

Wilton has a great selection of shaped pans.  I used them a lot when I was first starting out doing cakes.  This was one of my first cakes using Wilton shaped pans.  A family friend started me off on my collection of vintage cake pans.  She gave an entire box of pans when she retired from baking.  Since then, I've started collecting vintage pans on my own.

Tulip Cookies

I'm learning to make iced sugar cookies.  I found several good recipes on All Recipes.com. I used piping bags and a number 3 tip to pipe and a bowl with the thinned icing, but next time, I think I will get squeeze bottles.  The icing definitely has to stay covered and I think using a squeeze bottle instead of a bowl for the thin icing will give me more control when filling the colors.  Here are some tulip cookies.

Layered flowers cake

I will be posting a tutorial on how to make all these flowers in my tutorial section.  Were invited to eat at a friends house and I made a cake for dessert.  These flowers are easy and quick.  They took me maybe 2 hours from start to finish.

Enjoy
