Happy Halloween!

I LOVE Halloween!  It is seriously the most wonderful time of the year (next to Christmas of course!) I love the idea of being something you're not for a day. And free candy is always a plus. I love cute little kids in their cute little costumes (I'm not the biggest fan of the gory costumes, but the ones dressed up like little furry animals, princesses, & even little cowboys are adorable!)

Another fantastic thing about Halloween, is that it gives you the opportunity to take these.....

And turn them into this!

So many mummys!

And then, change it up a little with a different color, tootsie roll & green jelly bean, and voila!

A sugary pumpkin patch!

Or take some classic rice krispie treats, dip them in some white chocolate, add some adorable eye candies, and you have ghosts!

And just some Halloween sprinkles for a little splash of color!

Shout out to my roomie, Lauren,  who ran these to people houses while I waited in the get-away car. Even with a close call and a chase, it was still a fun-filled and successful night. However, I've decided that I need a less recognizable vehicle. Oh well. I'm sure that the secret would have come out eventually!

Another one bites the dust... or the cake.

I had another one of my room-mates get married at the beginning of the month. She looked gorgeous and so happy. Her wedding was simple and elegant, and so the cake had to be as well. I was very excited for the opportunity to work on some of my skills!

The cake was chocolate with a nutella ganache and white buttercream icing. Top it off with some ribbons and orchids, and you have understated elegance, that tasted pretty dang good! I used the faux fondant finish with crusting buttercream again, and I have to say, I think it worked out pretty well!

Pretty classy looking!

Check out that smooth, smooth surface.

This was a very classic wedding cake. It wasn't over the top or trying to make a crazy statement. I think the statement it made was simple elegance. Which suited the bride perfectly!
