Gig Em Aggies.... Saw Em Off!

I had to post these crafts together so that my aggie husband doesn't disown me.....kidding. To the left is the fleece snuggie tie blanket I made for cold foodball games....(not really ever needed in Texas, except for the one game BEFORE I made the blanket). But so popular by our aggie friends that I had to make three more just like it! To the right is my wonderful friend showing off her longhorn snickerdoodle cookie cake that I made her for her birthday.

ASTROS Birthday Theme

This cake was for an astros themed birthday party. I look at this cake and wish I had it to do all over again, I was running out of steam and time and used one of those tube frostings in red to make the baseball stripes....BIG mistake. Those things don't work so hot......there is nothing like using your own soft icing in a piping bag for even distribution. But the layout and design are very cute I think. I wrapped the cake with "Take Me Out to The Ball Game" ribbon, and then used two fondant baseballs, and a fondant star as the center point and added the birthday star's name with stickers and cardstock.

Log Bed Cake - Bachorlette Party

The couple getting married are very "Texas" in taste and show, so I decided to make their bed for her bachorlette cake very western looking. Come to find out, the groom had actually just built a log bed for their home......!!!! I used those fancy pirouette cookies, using melted caramels as the logging glue (or whatever you call that sticky stuff that fills in between the logs....which I SHOULD know since I grew up in a log home, but I do not) , and covered the cake in fondant (aka. sheets, and comforter) the pillows are smooshed marshmellows covered in a fondant pillowcase. I cut the underclothes out of sugar sheet paper.

Baby Kenzie's Diaper Cake

So I did not knit or crochet the cute little hat or flowers, merely sewed the little flowers to the hat. But the other three flowers on the cake are ribbon flower/bows I made and glued onto hair barrettes for baby Kenzie. These are the ones you can pin onto those soft headbands while they are infants and then pin in their hair when they grow some!

Safari Cake w/ Elephants

Live and Learn right? I really wanted stand up elephants so I decided to use sugar cookies since I was making some already anyhow. Well of course I don't have an elephant cookie cutter, so I freehanded these elephants with my handy dandy butter knife and iced to match the cake........ not completely professional looking.....but I had so many irons in the fire with other food, and decorations, etc. I didn't have time to completely focus on the cake....
