I don't know what I was doing wrong, but at first the icing gel kept coming out super runny! As these poor souls can tell you...

god, this always happens to me and is super frustrating

it also sucks when it's going fine and then suddenly SPLURT

at least I can generallly avoid the initial runnyness problem by doing some test squirting over the sink first, and the mid-decorating runnyness by keeping a close watch/feel on the stuff mid-decorating, but still

Just a mama snow bunny and her bébés 🐇


Mama bunny is a vanilla cake, with strawberry jam, vanilla frosting, and coconut. Her eyes are mini M&M's. Baby bunnies are vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting, dipped in white chocolate and coconut. Their eyes are coloured icing. All the ears are fondant.

Made a Cadbury brownie and used some chocolate batons and pink chocolate buttons to decorate with a cherry tree - he’s not a very neat brownie as I poked it a bit too earlier and it cracked but the mixture was very tasty when I cleaned the bowl 😂

Edit: swapped pics for smaller versions of same pic as original file sizes were too big to load properly

So...me and my sibling tried to make a "fossil cake".
Two different slices from the same cake!

SO... The color is wrong. We didn't have any red food coloring!!!!!!!! The blue food coloring was definitely on the cooler side - making it look teal. Anyways.. we have to make due with what we got.. so I tried to ice some "stars" on the actual cake to make it look like a fossil but uhhh they just look like circles. I put sprinkles on it to make it look a bit more festive.
I ate the cake after and it tastes okay!! It was my first time making a rolled cake and it was surprisingly.... okay!!!! I kind of want to do it again to be honest! But maybe strawberry themed?

Made a chocolate chip banana bread to look like dear Zucker 🐙. I just cut the sheet pan bread to a circle, & then topped it with buttercream frosting for his skin, with whipped chocolate frosting for his hair & freckles. His signature circle mouth was formed with fine pink sprinkles, & tada, Zucker appeared! 🙂

I made cupcakes decorated with fondant icing, to represent a leaf, fossil, pitfall seed, and bell bag 😁 I haven’t baked in a while and I haven’t used fondant icing before so excuse any messiness 😂 I had fun nonetheless

I made Snow Bunnies too but based on dango recipe. I didn't have a heart to impale them on a stick though. Eyes and ears are made with gel food coloring. I also prepared mitarashi sauce but the bunnies aren't looking too healthy with it so it's a bonus photo.

I’m sure yours are great too! As long as yours aren’t exactly the same it should hopefully be ok.
I didn't post it yet, it looks like dying lol, I wanted to see if I can relive it a bit. but it's funny that we both thought blue balloon dog in rice krispies.
