Obsessive Mondays - Sparkles

I love sparkles...I add crystals to almost everything.  When my daughters were little, I would take them to the mall and try to teach them that "if it sparkles, we like it!"  Well, that didn't quite work like I thought, they aren't into sparkles like I am.  Oh well...Here are some of my favorite Sparkles from my Etsy shop and Pinterest for the week!

My First Fondant Cake

I've been fascinated with fondant cakes for years.  I remember in Jr. High, I checked out a book on decorating with fondant before it was the chic thing to do.

My youngest daughter, Dominique, turned 15 last month and asked me to make her a cake with fondant.  I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out, but since it was just for the family I gave it a shot.

I did the hard part and then my girls took over the "fun" until they got bored so Mom finished it.  I will do a couple of things differently next time but was very happy with how it turned out.

A special thanks goes out to my friend Jackie,  she gave me lots of pointers and even shared her fondant with me!!  She's the bomb!!  Later this month we'll be having our second annual Halloween Cupcake Decorating Party with her.  Fun, fun!!

Obsessive Monday - Wreaths

So this weekend I made something a little different.  In case you haven't noticed, burlap is hot, hot, HOT!!  So I decided to follow all of the "trendy" people and jump on the burlap bandwagon.

 Via Today's Fabulous Finds

I found this burlap wreath on Pinterest 

 

 

and made my own version!

 

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.  I now just need to figure out where to hang it :)

 

Here are some other pretty wreaths I found...
