Flamboyant Mayflower Petal Cake

Purple Perfection Peony Spray
Peonies are one of my favorite flowers, we have had them adorn our landscaping for almost 22 years; I remember planting our first peony plant with Sydney (she was almost two) and it just happened to be Mother's Day. As I was covering the the second cake Sydney came...
Fabric Fondant Billow Weave Cake

Victorian Two Tone Brush Embroidery
I was showing Sydney a two tone royal icing brush embroidery (that is a mouthful), and she thought the cookies would be a wonderful dessert to create for Mother's Day. I must say I agree, the cookies would look exquisite in a clear top box with a blush pink ribbon....
