Love, love, love playing with fondant and with the decorating details!

Those little fun trees made me happy... No, really.

Call me silly, but I found little things, when we pay attention to them, actually can make us happy. What do you think?

In cake decorating, for instance, details are make a difference, isn’t it true? They are like those magic sparkles that create or change the mood.

If you’d like to see more tips on the techniques were used in decorating this cake please let me know. I’ll start sharing more tips. 🙂
