My recent cake photos were unfortunately lost when my computer crashed, but I was able to save all my other photos on my external hard drive ~ WHEW! Hopefully my daughter can figure out how to get my pictures from facebook onto my blog.....thank God for children that have computer knowledge!!! :-) So maybe on the next blog you can see Yoda with the Wild Turkey bottles and the huge 3D baby crib!!!

Here is a cake I will be doing for our baseball party on saturday, I think the boys will love it!!!!!!
Recipe for the finger cookies is below.
Here's the recipe for the finger cookies. Once you have made the dough and chilled it then you just shape the dough into finger long shapes, use a knife to cut the slit marks for the knuckles, bake them just like the recipe, take them out and put some red piping gel on the tips and put on a sliced almonds (you buy them sliced at the store). I also paint mine with some watered down brown Wilton coloring with a paint brush to make them look dirty. HOW GROSS!!!!!!!!!!You all have a SWEET Halloween and be safe out there!!!!
Yer cake pal,
ginger
