She came over and we discussed a pair of slippers. She decided to go with a bloodroot flower....which is tricky, as it is white and I usually do my beading on white stroud. So.....I surrounded the flower with the bloodroot leaf-which is kinda cool on it's own! The result...not bad! It took a looooong time though, with the size of the leaf, the upper is almost full bead!<br />I hope Dana likes them!Tiggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05046678855806234377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356913375495500493.post-89210639147986854242011-11-25T18:20:00.000-08:002011-11-25T18:23:26.584-08:00Montreal Canadiens....?!?Got a request for a Montreal Canadiens hockey cake.

As we had apple pie, pumpkin pie, cherry cheesecake....I made a SMALL cake! Penguins was the theme. The cake is apple spice, with cream cheese icing. The igloo is cake as well, with MMF on it and I just used the dull side of a knife to make the 'blocks'. The penguins are MMF with a little gumpaste mixed in to get them to harden a bit. I put it in the fridge (a no no with fondant) so that the penguins would get some condensation on them, so they would look 'wet'!! It was a hit.

Instead of canvas, I cut the legs off of a little pair of jeans and used that as the upper. There was elastic in the cuffs of the jeans already, so the slippers ended up with elastic around the calf-which was GREAT!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglEKLKJPOmm-O31HtbWdoTNa2ueqw4lIPb0Uh72mSL2nNsse2wMPpk8KZ9Eb6_gQHJ3HuhtQH4MlqnaQj0gufnFHqdKd1UT3m3CiYyfThz9PDXMR65-9YtdT716NYiVcX2jM_lCgZevZk/s1600/IMG_0009+%25282%2529.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglEKLKJPOmm-O31HtbWdoTNa2ueqw4lIPb0Uh72mSL2nNsse2wMPpk8KZ9Eb6_gQHJ3HuhtQH4MlqnaQj0gufnFHqdKd1UT3m3CiYyfThz9PDXMR65-9YtdT716NYiVcX2jM_lCgZevZk/s320/IMG_0009+%25282%2529.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637001026510916642" /></a>Tiggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05046678855806234377noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356913375495500493.post-26484429050914792972011-08-04T06:53:00.000-07:002011-10-16T17:24:49.708-07:00Pocket Blanket<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietk8VmDJHHs657UCMXM9BOQYNc-ebYx7Bx0W-h_3D_X4kuBFae_QnQfGD81cee3j7ONVj0m9RrkY6pduycgsghjRW8OC0y5oqa_svhkGaNHsWdTw9tXwQDEE0eq5_fmaAI4tdYlNSDxM/s1600/IMG_1572.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietk8VmDJHHs657UCMXM9BOQYNc-ebYx7Bx0W-h_3D_X4kuBFae_QnQfGD81cee3j7ONVj0m9RrkY6pduycgsghjRW8OC0y5oqa_svhkGaNHsWdTw9tXwQDEE0eq5_fmaAI4tdYlNSDxM/s320/IMG_1572.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637000046251887506" /></a><br /><br />This is a blanket I made for my sister.

One of his favourite treats is a tall frosty Guinness! I make the 'cake' from peanut butter rice crispie squares, as we were going to be at the lake-with no running water and limited refrigerator space. It is covered with buttercream and MMF. The lettering is all done in royal icing. I added details like his age as the % alcohol content, and his name as the signature instead of Mr. Guinness. It was a hit!<br />We also had a cake, Chocolate Guinness with cream cheese frosting!

That is a real ribbon around the bottom of it-not edible! The white is carrotcake with cream cheese frosting. The flowers are gum paste and the characters (Tim, Peekaboo, Ezra and I) are fondant with some gum paste mixed in for drying.....<br />They were delicious!Tiggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05046678855806234377noreply@blogger.com1
