Hello Friends!

I have a brand new cake tutorial for you! Today I'm going to show you how to make a lantern silhouette cake that really lights up! How cool is that?! You may be thinking "Hmmm... that looks difficult to make", but it's really not! Actually this cake is made with simple supplies you may already have in your house! No, the cake decorations aren't edible, but I give a brief explanation of what you can do to make it entirely edible. Hope you enjoy learning how to make this fun and elegant cake! Also, for my regular readers, I may be pretty quiet on my blog for a month or so. One of the members of my household is undergoing major surgery and my time will be dedicated to caring for them. I will be back on and creating more tutorials for you as soon as I can. Thanks for your understanding! :)

DIY Custom Color Nonpareil Sprinkles

Peach, Ivory and Leaf Green nonpareils? Can there really be such a thing? Why yes, absolutely!

I have always loved these little round sprinkles! They remind me of my childhood - decorating Christmas cookies with my family, and decorating birthday cakes for my Mom, Dad and Sister. The fun rainbow of colors always made them my favorite sugar decoration to use. And now that I'm an adult, I still try to use them whenever I can. But now that I often make cakes and cookies for special occasions I've found that I need them in specific colors, but where to find these colors? I have not been able to successfully find the specific colors needed sometimes and I've since figured out how to dye my own!

Hello friends!

It is freezing outside and there is a beautiful layer of snow on the ground. So what would be the best way to spend a snow day? That's right! Baking! Today I've whipped up a batch of silky smooth Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and I'm going to share this awesome recipe with you. This is the most requested frosting flavor at Otchcakes Decorated Cakes, and it is my favorite frosting to work with! It smoothes beautifully over my cakes, it holds up well under fondant, and it can be piped onto cupcakes. This frosting is lightly sweet with a hint of salt and has a pronounced buttery flavor. The combination of salt and sweet in this recipe is amazing! Enjoy and God bless!
