Baby, Baby



With a little fondant, a mold and some editable dust you can create a sweet little sleeping baby. 


Blending the dust to flesh tone and sweeping it along the baby's folds gives dimensions to his little body.




With a little more fondant you can create a fuzzy soft blanket for the little guy to rest his head on.  




Best wishes to Sarah and Jeff on your little bundle of joy.

Heirloom Confections - Sponge Candy

With Michigan getting hit with it's first major storm of the year, I thought it was a great time for some heirloom confections.  Yes, Sponge candy also known as Honeycomb candy, whichever name your family recipe was handed down by.  This is a sweet, crunchy, honeycomb-texture treat withhints of delicate toffee and molasses flavor. You can leave it plan or dress it up with chocolate which is what  my niece and I did for a Valentines day treat.  

You can find many recipes online or in your heirloom recipe books.  They only vary by dark or light corn syrup and white or dark brown sugar.  If you use the dark corn syrup or sugar you get a deeper toffee/molasses flavor. Whatever you choose this confection only has four ingredients and is super easy.
