First, a little luck o' the Irish:
And these little clover cookies are pure gold:
I love the technique used for drawing the clovers: you drop three dollops of liquid green icing into the white, and then draw a pin or toothpick through to give them the classic heart shape. Aren't they just perfect?
This neck-less Leprechaun made me grin:
And I still have a hard time believing this one is actually cake:
Of course, everyone knows the rainbow has to end in the pot of gold:

And here's some fondant-free fun:

This one, too!

Check out that "foam" on top: amazing!
And finally, a wee tiered beauty:

SO. CUTE.
Ah, but we're not done yet! Since I haven't featured any Mardi Gras Sweets, here are a few masquerade beauties to make up for it:
Pretty paisley.

Gooorgeous. And the mask and flower on top are sugar paste!
This one was spotted at the "That Takes the Cake Show" in Austin:

Such a cool design: it was split down the middle!
I always love color, but sometimes an all-white design really lets the detail shine through:

Beautiful. The mask is also made from gumpaste, and would you believe those lower feathers are cut from rice paper?
And finally, hold on to your hats, 'cuz yes, this really is cake:

There are no words. Just "WOW."
Hope you enjoyed your double dose of Sweets, all!
