Food, Family & Finds from A Cowboy's Wife
Well, these Halloween Black Cat Cookies are FAR from perfect but they were definitely a LOT of fun to make! They are a little time consuming but it’s something that you should plan to spend an entire morning or day doing. And I recommend that you make a plan, read all the directions first, and… [Continue Reading]
Oh man, making a car themed cake was more of a task than I thought but I have narrowed my issues down to a couple of things that I’ll get to a little later. Truett turned 5 years old today and all I could think about was when my two oldest were that age…and how… [Continue Reading]
Wilton’s yearbook covers are a big deal and their innovative designs blow my mind every time! I’ve enjoyed every single visit I’ve had with them and LOVE seeing their new products and creative goodies. I’ve actually had the honor of meeting the creative genius behind these yearbooks. He comes up with some amazing pieces and… [Continue Reading]
If you color your own icing, I’d really like to know how the heck to get a true blue icing, like the NY Giants color blue. I’ve tried about 3 times and still can’t seem to get it right. Colors I’m using are Wilton’s Royal Blue, Violet, with a touch a Black. Perhaps I should… [Continue Reading]
You can buy ‘ready to build’ gingerbread houses by Wilton all through the holidays and if you’ve never built one, you should. It’s a lot of fun. This time around, I let Truett do it ALL by himself. I’ve never seen him so excited as he was to put candy on a house he could… [Continue Reading]
When trying to figure out what food gifts to give this year, I thought I’d make something I usually don’t, which is homemade fudge. I’ve heard horror stories when it comes to fudge so I can see how it can be quite intimidating for some, much like pecan pies tend to do but my recipe… [Continue Reading]
These don’t have to be only Halloween treats but they does make for a fun one and as you can see, we used Halloween colors and decorations to celebrate the holiday. They are very fun and vibrant. Halloween always seems to be about sweets (and no exceptions here) but at least there are fresh apple… [Continue Reading]
You should know that just because I am taking Wilton Decorating classes, that it doesn’t mean I’m any good at it still. I’m definitely learning much more but I still have such a long ways to go. With this Hair Raising Cake, I wanted to do three things; incorporate Halloween of course, try not to… [Continue Reading]
Wilton offers a variety of baking products to help you make the most creative and beautiful cakes. They also offer themed products and in this case, Halloween themed items! I’ll be making a few items over the next couple of weeks to get you in the Halloween mood and if you’ve baked something Halloweenish, I’d… [Continue Reading]
Hammering, drilling, sawing……that’s all I’ve been hearing for the past week as the old is ripped out and the new is brought into my kitchen. Mind you, I’m not complaining one bit but it has been a long week of eating in town (which has been a bit expensive as well), but to see the… [Continue Reading]
I shared some of the basic techniques in my last Wilton post and today I’m sharing flowers and my cake. At the end of the day, we were able to decorate our own cake any way we wanted which was a blast! The first flowers are Star-Drop flowers. These were my faves and mine actually… [Continue Reading]
If you don’t already know, I had the most wonderful opportunity to attend an event with Wilton. It was three days of pure fun, not to mention a wonderful learning experience and I can’t thank them enough for inviting me. I know you’ve seen those cakes, those creative masterpieces and what I learned while at… [Continue Reading]
When Wilton asked me to do a review, I had no idea all the wonderful goodies they would be sending would be so fabulous and make little man go CRAZY!! As a long time user of Wilton, I honestly knew this review would be biased because well, I have always loved them. My son’s 4th… [Continue Reading]
