Poinsettias & a Hippopotamus

Merry Christmas!!! When deciding on a design for Christmas cookies this year I found this wonderful Poinsettia idea over at Sweet Sugarbelle. I absolutely love how they turned out!

"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas...", I was surprised by how many of my family members didn't know this song! This is a sample of a set made with more stockings and hippos.

I really like how the chocolate sugar cookies make the royal icing colors pop!

Gift Cake

A birthday cake, designed like a Christmas gift (to blend in at a Christmas open house, as a surprise for the birthday girl).

My first fondant bow!! The "wrapping paper" is covered with Royal Icing poinsettias. Under all that wrapping is a Spice Cake.

Happy Birthday to Granny!!
