I’ve been absent from blogging for over a week now, due to the Hurricane Sandy we lost all power, phone, water, internet. Luckily we didn’t loose anything and our power was restored yesterday morning. Without any major losses I’m back.
Today I’m going to share with you my latest engagement cake where I combined 2 of the favorite things of the bride to be : beach and hearts.

This was such a fun and easy cookie project. I had it in my head for months and months and finally I had some time to try it out. I used 4 royal icing colors to create marbled effect on the leaves : Red, Yellow, Green and Brown. I wish I used a bit less…
