Fantezii dulcicolore - cartea conceputa pentru voi!!!!!

Cu drag si multa emotie astazi, dupa mult timp, va scriu despre cartea mea, Fantezii Dulcicolore.

 

Este visul meu devenit realitate!!! 

Este cartea ce mi-as fi dorit sa o am cand am inceput sa ii fac torturile fetitei mele.

Este o carte ce am gandit-o pentru mamicile si bunicile ce doresc sa faca ele singure torturile copilasilor lor, sa aduca ele bucuria si magia tortului la evenimentele lor speciale.

 

 

Pe langa pasii de baza necesari decorarii unui astfel de tort si a retetei pastei de zahar, am inclus si 13 modele de torturi originale si dragute ce am considerat ca pot fi realizate de oricine, fara sa fie nevoie de achizitionarea de ustensile speciale.

 

 

 

Mai multe torturi, modelaje si trucuri gasiti in cartea mea.  Cartea este realizata cu hartie de calitate , cu coperta de carton, cusuta manual si se vinde la pretul de 48 de lei.

 Daca voi nu va doriti sa faceti tortulete, poate fi si cadoul perfect pentru cei apropiati voua.

 

Cei ce va doriti sa o achizitionati, o puteti face prin comanda direct de pe pagina de facebook a cartii, facand click aici.

Va multumesc din suflet pentru sustinere! Si promit sa le semnez pe fiecare in parte!

DIY printable mini cupcake stand

I saw these cute DIY mini cupcake stands and I gave them a try the other day.

I think they are so cute and easy to make that I had to share:)

All you need is a printer, scissors, a little bit of glue and some beautiful card stock paper.

I have found two ways you can make these,

 and one is from Bird's party blog.

I am just going to share the template, but you can go over to their amazing site and read their wonderful tutorial.

and the other way is from A house full of Moxie

a different technique, but the same result.

To see their template in PDF, please click here.

Guest post

Not a cake!!!....

instead I am happy to share with all of you some pieces of advice regarding cake decorating written by Carolyn from Blog Content Guild, a blog that highlights other creative and interesting blogs arround the world. 

I was contacted by Carolyn and asked if I was interested in a guest blog column and aftter reading her article on cake decorating 101:) I decided it was a good a idea to share it with my readers.

I want to mention that I stand by every piece of advice given by her, I think this is how one should really begin this adventure, this is how I did it at least.

So for all you beginners out there and not only please take the time to read it. It is very helpful!!

Meal Plan Tips: Cake Decorating 101

After seeing all of Giovanna’s cakes, you may be wondering, “How can I start cake decorating?” Here are some tips to help you get a handle on this meal plan and become a cake decorating pro.

Watch the Professionals

Find a great cake decorating or cooking show and watch closely. This will help you learn insider tricks while also giving you a visual example of how to decorate. You can learn how to make a reverse shell border on a cake, just by watching someone else do it. You will notice that many cake decorators hold their bags at a precise angle while decorating (usually 45 degrees), or that some chefs prefer certain decorating tips over others.

Get Professional Supplies

Sure, you can decorate a cake with everyday household items, but nothing gives you precision like professional tools. Stock up on basic tools like pastry bags, decorating tips, couplers, spatulas (one small and one large), and gel food coloring (which will not change the consistency of your icing like liquid coloring).

Start Small

Instead of tackling a whole cake, start with something small, like cupcakes first! Decorating a whole cake can be daunting, so it could help you out to start with something a little more manageable. Many bakers also practice on plates before jumping on the real thing. If you don’t like what you see on the plate, just scoop up the icing for reuse and try again.

Practice Makes Perfect

None of us are going to be spectacular cake decorators on the first try. Give yourself time to practice and keep at it! Always try new techniques and, eventually, you will create the perfect cake. 

Thank you Carolyn for taking the time to do this.

Helloooooooooooooooooooo....

 

I am back from my vacation, but with a reason this time:)

This Saturday, I was the proud Godmother of a very sweet and beautiful little girl.

 

I chose to personalize myself the things needed for this special event as I was thrilled by the idea of hand making things for her.  I feel hand making comes from the heart and it says you care, enough to spend your time making something rather than just paying for stuff.

 

I, of course, made the cake

 Not your typical Christening cake, one might say, but again, there is a reason behind it and, as you all know by now, these are my favorite cakes. 

and I also threw together a last minute dessert table in pink and white

I'll see all soon, I hope:)

VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My summer vacation is finally here!!!!!! 

  Although I will be missing you all terribly, I am sooo happy to have my vacation time ....

I'll be back on the 20th of August!

Wedding cake topper

 A wedding cake topper I made for two of the most original people I know! You should have seen the wedding decorations!!!

This is how they wanted their cake topper: the Globe, an airplane flying over it, the bride with a surfboard and the groom with a snowboard.
