Sweet Things

Lately I am obsessed with making desserts.  Sugar cookies with royal icing, decorative cakes...etc.  I made a few batches of sugar cookies for my niece's birthday and for my ballet teacher's baby shower.


The baby onsie cookies were a hit.  So then I was asked to make a cake for my ballet teacher's shower as well.  Having only made one "fancy" cake in my lifetime I decided I needed to practice first!  3 boxes of white cake mix, 12 egg whites, and alot of wisking later I had a nice 11 x 15 sheet cake.  I decorated it to look like a baby blanket. 




The best news?  It actually tasted awesome.  The cake didn't rise a lot so it left it dense like pound cake, which I like....and the homemade buttercream was delicious!
