Ready to Celebrate Memorial Day? Do it with your Cricut Cake! I created this Memorial Day Cake using my Cricut Cake and the Independence Day Cartridge. The star shapes are cut out of colored fondant that I rolled out on a Crisco covered cutting mat and let sit in the refrigerator for a half an hour. Once it was stiff I removed it and loaded it into the Cricut Cake and cut the shapes. I then left the cut pieces on the mat and returned it to the fridge for another half an hour. By allowing the fondant to stiffen up each time it is easier to handle and there is less possibility of broken or torn pieces. I remove the little extra bits with a sharp tooth pick. The white and red icing is butter-creme and is piped on with a bag and a star tip. Find my Butter-Creme recipe here: Lovley Lula’s Butter-Crème Icing

A plain tank top can be super boring, so why not spice it up a bit? Take a simple solid color cotton tank, chop it up, add some new fabric, like this hot pink wood grain, and boom you have a new styling piece to wear that is one of a kind.

I love decorating cupcakes and cakes. About a year ago I had a great day with my friend Sarah and we made cupcake furniture and our designs were included in a cupcake decorating book.
