Bishop Smocked Dress

The 3 rows of pintucks are growth tucks--I put them in with a fairly loose stitch so they can easily be taken out when extra length is needed.

Cow Cake

This is the cake I made for my brother's birthday:

It's the leftover icing from the Ella cake--a bad choice to begin with. I need to find a buttercream that holds up better in the heat.

Ella Cake

This was the birthday cake for my great niece's first birthday. 

Hedgehog Food

Hedgehog cheese spread. I used a purchased cheese  ball smoosh
ed to resemble this shape, covered it with cream cheese, then stuck smoked almond spines, grape nose, and olive eyes.

We also made a hedgehog carved watermelon last summer. I didn't get a final picture, but here is the initial cut and a link to a finished one.  Ours would have looked better with a smaller nose and no whiskers. What's missing is the top layer of melon balls, each with a toothpick in it to represent a spine.
