My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Cookies

Made for a little gal I've never met, but who needed an extra hug this Christmas.

These are the cutie marks of the main 6 characters in the show.  

Three of the "Mane" 6.

Cake Pops

Quick cake pops for Pastor Ben, for Pastor Appreciation month.

Baby Shower Cookies

These were made for a baby shower at our church.  

Coffee Mug Cookies

Just something cute for a Women's coffee social at church.

Minions Cupcakes

Made just because I wanted to try them. LOVE them.

All homemade MMF,  hand-colored. Very time-consuming, but much appreciated by my co-workers.    I took them to work on my 18th Work-Anniversary this week.

Paintball Cake

As a favor to a fellow church-goer who saw my "Milk Gone Bad" cake, I made a cake for her son's birthday.  He's turning 16 and is  going on a paintball birthday bash.  I sent her a few ideas from Cake Central and she chose this one done by several bakers on that site.

Not too hard too do, just a lot of prep work and time.  Three 8" chocolate cakes (homemade, not boxed mix) with chocolate butter cream frosting (homemade), covered in (homemade) chocolate marshmallow fondant.  The accents were colored gumpaste carved from a stencil I drew onto cardboard.  I also got a new toy; a Wilton Circle Cutter, which helped with the target on top.

When Milk Goes Bad

The youth pastor at our church is leaving. I only know him from sight; Isabel's too young to be in the youth  group yet and Jake's too old.  He's an energetic (ENERGETIC!) man who loves the Lord with all his heart.  He and his wife are moving and the church planned a going-away party, with the theme "I Hate Milk!"

Totally confused by this, I pondered making a cake for the potluck dinner this past Sunday.  The first image that came to mind was this:

It was an image I saw on a T-shirt on-line.  I wanted to make milk going bad, but I wasn't jazzed about the guns.  I sat in the loft and sketched my idea; a milk carton that's robbed a bank.

Mmmm, white chocolate ganache.

Still a little lumpy.  Need to add more FAWNDANT.

The finished product.

I really like him!

I took Mr. Milk to the church, all nervous as usual.  It was a wonderful time and everyone who walked by the cake commented on how great it was.  I was asked to help cut it up too.

P.S.  Oh, the "I Hate Milk" theme?  His motto for the youth group was "Milk Sucks!"

Why?

Hebrews 5:12-13

New Living Translation (NLT)

12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn't know how to do what is right.

He teaches the youth to be adults in their walk with God, not babies on milk.  Hate milk.  Love solid food.
