I am really liking the up and coming trend of candy cakes, especially a cake decked out in M&MS! The decorating options are endless and it looks good in every color scheme imaginable! I have a few ideas myself and I would love the opportunity to try them out. My only question though is...would people actually enjoy eating a cake with an entire candy layer (taste and texture)? I LOVE cake and my favorite part is the icing. I'm not sure if I would like the crunch addition??

Weekly Round Up

Breakfast and brunch is my favorite meal, so I was smitten with this Eggs Benedict Bar shown on Celebrations at Home.

I was blown away by the styling of this Bb is for Baby Shower on Bump Smitten.

This strawberry inspired bridal shower is just gorgeous. LOVE the pops of turquoise!

Are you familiar with washi tape?! I really want to place an order and get creative!

{Tutorials} Ruffle Fondant Flowers

I first discovered Call Me Cupcake from Kelly of The Party Dress and have been smitten ever since. I am in awe of the sites photography and the blogs gorgeous styling and display of sweets.

Believe it or not, thees ruffle fondant flowers do not seem too hard to make. I am always looking for ways to dress up a store bought cake and this would be a perfect feminine touch! Here are the simple DIY instructions from Call Me Cupcake.

Step One:

Knead and color the fondant

Step Two:

Roll out with a rolling pin.

Step Three:

Use a round cutter of any size.

Step Four:

Frill the edges using the back of a brush. Gently roll it back and forth to create the frill effect.

Step Five:

Scrunch the piece of fondant together from the middle to form a flower.

See, not too difficult?! I can't wait to give these a try someday soon!
