A blog of the randomness I make and like in my life

And also a cookie I haven't posted here yet either because I know cute desserts is my main posting thing! Here's some frozen sugar cookies. Flat royal icing base then air brushed the edges and used edible marker and paints for the drawing aspect. I really like how this technique combo looks. Really allows detail without too much layering and flooding the icing if you want complex designs

Wow! Been a long time since I posted here. I find it hard to maintain stuff on multiple platforms but gonna do a bit of a content dump here to update it. Here's my ghostbusters afterlife costume from Halloween! I felt super cool as Phoebe and really enjoyed that movie! I was worried after not being a fan of the all ladies ghostbusters, but afterlife turned out great and Phoebe was definitely someone I was like she's so cool, I want to be her!

So the jumpsuit I bought and I shortened and added belt loops and bought iron on patches, so not a super homemade costume this time, but I did pave fun making my proton pack out of a coke box, paper towel and toilet paper rolls, a skipping rope, some thin dollar store foam and paint. I think it turned out quite well!

Also some animal crossing cupcakes! Buttercream swirls with fondant add ones. Three this one together for a birthday drop off at the in laws so includes some specific villagers that are their favourites :)

Gura is green tea shortbread

Ame is marbled vanilla and chocolate

Ina is vanilla

Calli is dark chocolate

Kiara is gingerbread

Aquarius is done! air sign so I went for white skin. Symbol for it is on her hoodie and sneakers and she was a water bottle because she's the water bearer lol. Constellation in the back again.

Been busy busy but finally the next horoscope girl Capricorn! Green skin cuz she's an earth sign, earrings of her symbol, the scale/texture on her purse and the clasp are a nod to the sea goat and of course constellation stars.

[captnmcd]

Next up is Sagittarius! We have a lovely archer lady for it with a necklace of the symbol, again the constellation in the sky and orangey skin tone since it's a fire sign!

[captnmcd]

Starting a horoscope series of girls! Here's Scorpio! Features are some pincer earrings and a tail belt for the scorpion, the constellation behind, her armlet is the symbol in there and the skin tones in this series are going to be the element of the sign. She's a water sign.

Gingerbread husbandos! I read that it was old English tradition for ladies to buy gingerbread husbands to help them find a husband! (Hence gingerbread men!) So had to make some husbandos after learning that!

Painted Naruto sugar cookies! Been helping out at pretty sweet pastry boutique in Thornhill lately and I loved how these guys turned out. She has these lovely edible paints that helped make the Naruto faces and nine tailed Fox ones so good! I need to get me some of that for home projects as well!

If you want to check out pretty sweets stuff you can find her on insta @prettysweetjen or order your own custom cookies at pretty-sweet.ca

I would love to do some more nerdy cookies with her :)

Happy belated birthday to myself! This year my husband got me a laptop for my birthday to play a game called PSO2 with him and there's a cafe where when you sit it puts one of I dunno like 20 different food dishes in front of you and it's random. Anyway one is a cute cake of a rappy so I recreated that for my birthday this year! It's chocolate cake, Italian meringue buttercream and small fondant details. And then strawberries (which I sadly only had frozen) and then I put chocolate covered almonds. The in game looks probably like it's blueberries there, but again, working with what I had on hand hahah. Not going out much with the whole covid situation so use what's at home!!

Korok gingerbread cookies. Deco is royal icing! Tasty and cute! Enjoy the long weekend with all your family like these koroks!

Pokemon birthday cakes I did this weekend! We have an espurr fondant cutout on a vanilla cake with Italian meringue buttercream and strawberries (a real yummy one!) Some diglett cupcakes that can combine to evolve into dugtrio. They are chocolate cake and then rice krispie and fondant to make the digletts themselves. And finally a ditto! Carved in vanilla cake and covered in fondant. I think all of them were pretty well loved by their respective birthday candidates so that's good! Hope you guys like em here too.

Hiya! Are you gonna post your awesome Alcremie birthday cake here before Sword and Shield? I love your Pokemon treats!

Sure! I just don't keep up with all kinds of platforms much. I cycle between em and haven't been tumbling much but I just added it here too

[captnmcd]

Someone requested I post my Alcremie to tumblr as well so here it is! Gigantamax Alcremie that I made for my own birthday this year hahahaha. Buttercream masking and trim and then fondant and royal icing decorations (plus a Swedish berry in alcremies hair)
