I LOVE My KopyKake!

Tweet

Hi everyone!

I have to share an amazing tool that I got for both crafting and cake/cookie decorating.

It is my new KopyKake projector.

This is what they look like.

I finally had an excuse to use it for the first time, last night.

One of the guys that works for my hubby, is retiring.

Hubs always has me make a cake for his retirees.

Kevin plans on spending his newly found free time, working on his classic car so hubby asked if I could do a picture of his car on a cake. 

Before I got my KopyKake, it might have been tough, but now, it's a breeze!

Here is a shot of the car as I'm starting to lay in the Royal frosting onto waxed paper.

The KopyKake also is a great tool for perfectly placing the sentiment on the cake. No more running out of room for letters! LOL!

After the car dried overnight, I carefully peeled it off of the waxed paper and glued it to the cake with Karo syrup. Then I painted on some grass and shadows with food color.

(Please pardon the poor quality photo. It was taken at 5:00 AM with zero natural lighting)

Thanks for dropping by!

Hope you have an awesome day!

My Day to Post on the CardMaker Magazine Blog. ;)

Hi Everyone!

I would like to invite you over to the CardMaker Magazine blog to check out the article I wrote for today. I created a hand-painted sugar cookie to coordinate with one of my newly release stamps from Inky Antics.

I will show a peek here, but for a closer look (and a look at the cookies before they were painted) please VISIT THE CARDMAKER BLOG.  :)

Thanks for HoPpInG by!

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop and My Halloween Cookies

Tweet

Hi Everyone and welcome to another Really Reasonable Ribbon blog hop!

If you are here from the Really Reasonable Ribbons Ramblings blog, you are in the right place.
If you just happened on to my blog, you will want to go back one step to start at the beginning.

Regular followers of my blog,  know that I have started sharing my baked goodies on here as of late too. Why not combine my love of all things sweet and my love of pretty ribbons?

The September Ribbon Club Kit has all of the fun colors that we normally associate with Halloween, (even though, they can be used as every day ribbons as well).
I know it's early, but it put me in the mood for some Halloween cookies. 
We will have to eat these and I will make more for Halloween. 
I used my "Spiced Orange Sugar Cookie" recipe, so they are extra tasty! :)
These would be great for you to make for your special little ghouls and goblins too!

Click on photo for a closer look.

I simply made sugar cookies, using some of Wilton's Halloween Cookie Cutters, frosted them with Royal Frosting, let them dry, then made these fun little gift packages.
The background cardstock is Bazzill Two Scoops in Prickly Pear, Pumpkin Pie, and Black Cow, all from Discount Card Stock. The designer paper is from Graphic 45's "Happy Hauntings" stack.
The pretty bows make the packaging complete! :)

Here is a peek at all of the ribbons in this month's set as well as the frosting colors I mixed to match it.
