  • Coziest looking cake I’ve ever made 🧶😍 inspired by some pretty purple wool roving yarn I found at @joann_stores (the brand is called “Buttercream” so it was a no brainer!) 💜 if you’re all about this knitted look and dying to try these piping techniques I’ve got all the details at sugarandsparrow.com (search “sweater cake” to find the tutorial + video) 👏🏽✨it’s easier than it looks with a little bit of planning + three @wiltoncakes piping tips (1M, 4B, 3) + a great album to put on in the background (a must if you ask me)😚🎶 what do you listen to while you cake?
  • If you love Thin Mint @girlscouts cookies (🙋🏽‍♀️) or are just a big fan of mint chocolate, this cake recipe is going to rock your world 🎉 Layers of mint chocolate cake, crushed Thin Mint cookies, and mint chocolate chip buttercream inside and out 🍫💚 topped with chocolate ganache and more Thin Mint cookies for extra tastiness 👏🏽 this cake tastes JUST like Thin Mint cookies - the perfect balance of mint + chocolate 🥳 🙌🏽 full recipe is coming to the blog SOON so stay tuned ✨
  • Closeup of these painted buttercream textures👩🏽‍🎨 made even more beautiful with some splatter painted metallic @edibleartpaint ✨giving me all the feels 😍💗
  • The makings of this sprinkley number cake topper ✨🥳 this technique makes it so easy to create edible number AND letter toppers in any font you want! 🙌🏽 I printed out a number template and covered it with wax paper, then piped @wiltoncakes Candy Melts to fill it in. Add a generous amount of sprinkles + refrigerate until firm. Then, attach a skewer to the back with more Candy Melts + return it to the fridge✨and viola! It only takes about 25 min from start to finish, which is especially perfect for last min cakes 🎉 full tutorial + video is linked in my bio! Click it 👏🏽
  • My sweet little niece turned 4 and requested a “Jessie cake” so I whipped up this Toy Story/Western inspired beauty 🌵❤️✨loved celebrating her with the cake of her dreams! 😍 I used @americolor Wedgewood as the base and added some fondant Toy Story clouds, then used @wiltoncakes 4B to pipe all the cacti and sprinkled edible (graham cracker) sand for added texture 🎉 topped with a Jessie figurine from @amazon + a handmade gumpaste number inspired by the design on Jessie’s shirt ❤️ 😍 happiest of birthdays, sweet Mia!! 🥳
  • Went a little abstract with this one and I am all about it 😍I love making fondant accents for my buttercream cakes, so when @joann_stores sent me their new Tasty by Wilton: Fondant Skills 101 Kit I was in cake decorating heaven! 🎂🙌🏽 the kits come with everything you need to watercolor, imprint, and turn fondant into homemade sprinkles in any color scheme you could want 👩🏽‍🎨perfect for cake decorators of all skill levels! I used three different fondant techniques on this cake and you can get all the details, full tutorial, + video at the link in my bio 🥳 #joannpartner #handmadewithjoann
