American Baker in Germany

 This is an edible playdough that my mother used to make for us. Peanut Butter Playdough: 1 cup (240g) peanut butter 1/2 cup (170g) honey 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar Mix together peanut butter and honey until smooth.  Stir in powdered sugar. Kneading in when stirring is no longer effective. Store in a plastic bag. As a playdough, it's not quite as good as regular playdough, because the shapes slowly fall toward earth, but you can always eat what you make when you're done.

 This is a very simple Minions-themed cake. I frosted a 6-inch cake dummy with vegan American buttercream. I covered the cake with yellow fondant. I added a white circle with a smaller brown circle inside it. Topped with a black circle. I surrounded the eye with a gray ring. Added a strip for the strap and black snakes for hair. I think this cake looks like Stuart. It is very simple, yet clearly Minions.

 This time, I'm decorating a sheet cake to look like a horse with fall leaves. I started out frosting a sheet cake with vegan American buttercream. I also printed out a picture of a horse and cut it out. Then I rolled out some brown fondant. And cut out the shape of the horse out of brown. I laid it on the sheet cake and wrapped a brown rope around two sides. Then I rolled out some red fondant and used some leaf cutters to make these leaves. I also made some out of orange and yellow and placed them around the cake. Then I cut out some gray circles. I cut a smaller circle out of the middle to make rings. I cut a piece out of the ring and use a round piping tip to press in nail marks in the horseshoes. And I placed the horseshoes facing up all around the sides of the cake. And I painted ivory and brown food coloring to make some shading on the horse. I love how cute this horse turned out. I think it turned out lovely and rustic. Perfect for the horse-lover.
