Projects

Berry Bonanza Cake

A fresh look to match your freshly-picked berries. Easy-to-pipe icing vines and leaves bring the glories of the garden inside. Guests enjoy the tart taste of raspberries on vines, at the border and as a filling between the layers.

Vintage Celebration Cake

A basic square cake achieves grapeness! Decorate the clusters with dot upon dot, add some winding outline vines and a lovely leaf border.

Fruitful Cupcakes

Everyday candies can provide a bushel full of easy decorating ideas! Create grape clusters with candy-coated dots, whip up a frenzy of fruit-shaped candies and deck the cupcakes with holly made of cinnamon drops and spearmint leaves.

Strawberry Shortcakes

A simple way to showcase fresh strawberries, or any other in-season fruit. Delicious and special.

A Harvest of Cookies

Greet fall with a cornucopia of fun treats featuring favorite autumn shapes and colors. With shaped cutters, you’re halfway there—just ice smooth or add piped detail like grapes or leaves. The leaf cookies really bring the season home. The combination of tinted dough creates maple and oak leaves in dazzling colors.
