It was actually a tiny bit cool yesterday while we were crafting yesterday, wonder what we were crafting, hmmmm??? You'll see soon, I promise! But today I want to give you a follow up I promised in this post. But as with designing and crafting things change.

These acorns have the bonus effect of smelling great! To see how to make these neat little acorns full instructions are posted here. They are a creation from the book:

By
Kate Sullivan
Kate Sullivan has baked wedding cakes and party cakes for some of New York’s most interesting weddings and events. Her sought-after recipes, designs, and tips are compiled in this extraordinary volume now available in paperback.
Featured in numerous magazines, and on television, Sullivan is a
respected and creative baker. For the first time, she brings her knack
for creating the unusual to those of us who want to bake more than a
layer cake but aren’t sure how.
Fun & Fancy Cake Decorating
features her delicious recipes and unique cake-decorating tips, as well
as personal stories about creating and delivering cakes. She has used
cookies as cake toppers, made dozens of multicolored flowers on a
hat-shaped cake, and created cakes in the shapes of taxis and diner
coffee cups. Whether a lush, vibrant “Monsoon Wedding” cake or a
larger-than-life, 3D “Cup o’ Joe to Go,” Kate’s cakes always inspire
people to ask, “How did she do that?”
Basic and special techniques are illustrated in detailed step-by-step photographs, as well as complete cake recipes for Kates’s favorite cakes.
Kate Sullivan’s wedding and party cakes have been featured in numerous magazines, including Oprah, the New York Times, Self, and Time Out New York, as well as on VH1 and in Broadway theater. She lives in New York City.
