Whoopie pies — these are from Steve’s (lobsterorder.com) and mine will look like this.
sweet marshmallow bunnies. Peeps would work, but how to fasten them to an unfrosted, non-sticky cake top (top cake of the whoopie pie)?
Sweet little sugar decorations, but from where?
There look like fondant ”carrots.” I have no experience making fondant anything.
Adorable sugar frosting blue bunnies made with a pastry bag, fluted tip and a steady hand with a good eye. I have no experience with pastry bag decorating. Yhis sort of decoration would adhere to a cake-y cookie top. I’d have to spend hours at you Tube university and 20 pounds of 10X to ”master” these. So sweet and I would only want this exact shade of blue ;)
Thanks for any help.Alternatively, I could try making a French pastry cream fruit tart, but I think my tin tart pan is only 8” or 9” in diameter.
I was hoping to make something with Grand Marnier, but I can’t with children at the dinner party. Related Discussions

If I'm correct on posting a link to something - all you have to do is put your cursor in the "web brower line" above (the long white rectangular box) and click on it to "highlight" it. Next go to the top menu bar and click on "Edit" - arrow down to "Copy" - come back to the Message Box (in these forums) or an email and put your cursor where you want the "link" to appear. Go back to the top menu and again click on "Edit" - arrow down and hit the "Paste" button. The link will be copied to where you put your cursor. I hope this is what you're looking for, if not, I feel like a real dummy here! Sal...See MoreSpring/Easter Vignette on small end table
Comments (21)Kathleen, I do love that store too, I did go in there 2 weeks ago, just to look, I usually head to the back where the "sale" stuff is, but no luck for me! That is one beautfiul store.... cyberdancer, thank you. I purchased the rabbit at a place called the Mole Hole. They only had one, and I just had to have him (but I will be eating peanut butter for a while....) Yes, I think they are a "open" style of rose (bought at Michaels), here is a close up for you (one of the many pics I took, but I didn't post cause it would be way boring to look at all my "practice pictures" LOL Luvs, thank you. I know what you mean about decorating the sugar cubes, I have seen them in a few magazines and they are so cute. Yachter, LOL, I know what you mean, as soon as I get rid of something I find that I NEED it later and just want to kick myself! karen, you are right, real birds nests are a small engineering miracle of nature! And yes, they would probably just torture your kitties LOL, I can just picture them batting them around like volleyballs LOL My dog would just simply tear them to shreads (even the fake ones if he could reach them) he is a stinker......See MoreDo you decorate with cake stands?
Comments (12)oakley - that's a beautiful server/stand. I think is going to be a beautiful addition to your hutch. I have a gold finished three layer stand which allows you to use your own plates according to the time of year, or what holiday or event you are using it to serve from. The stand takes standard size china or dinner plates. I've had it forever, but use it frequently when we have dinner guests. I don't have to worry about where I am going to park the desserts. I can put three pies, or three different desserts, one on each layer. Sometimes I will use the top layer for candies or chocolates. The $20 cake stands (set of 3 graduated sizes) I purchased from Target online are clear glass. I purchased them to use in decorating project I was inspired to do after seeing one that judithva created. The three graduated clear stands plus a sundae dish from a dollar store are the "bones" of the project. You can do any holiday or occasion, only limited by your imagination! When they aren't "decorated", the stands can be used separately. Very nice to have the different size options....See MoreDoes anyone decorate wedding cakes?
Comments (13)I'm w/Les on this. Defiitel use Royal icing and a size 2 tip. It just takes practise to get your 'balls' uniform is size. Twist your pastry bag real tight-don't try to fill bag real full-better control. When making the pearl dot...Hold your bag straight up-don't slant the bag. With a firm squeeze, you just work faster-rather than slower. By doing that, you'll get the rhythm of the size thing. As you stop squeezing once the size is there..make a quick circle with the tip-like making a small zero, then release your tip. Let the dots set a minute or two, then dipping your finger in a little cornstarch-gently tap the top of the pearl to smooth it & remove any points you left when you released. Definitely use the pearl dust too....See More
3 years agoAre you baking the whoopee pies? If so, maybe you can press pastel m&m’s into them before baking. Or try pressing them in as soon as the cake emerges from the oven.
you can purchase royal icing carrots (and many other spring decorations such as easter sprinkles) from sites such as etsy. I’d melt a bit of semisweet or white chocolate, put it in a parchment paper cone, and use a dot of chocolate to attach the decor if they sre not too tiny.If you use white chocolate as the glue, melt it very slowly using very low heat as it can be fussy.
Another glue idea is piping jel that you can purchase ready made where baking crafts are sold.
Peeps - you might be able to moisten the back to get them to stick. Or even use a bit of peanutbutter or canned icing the back of a peeps.
