Sunflower Cupcakes

Super cute sunflower cupcakes made for a dinner party. We got the idea from the book "Hello, Cupcake!: Irresistibly Playful Creations Anyone Can Make!" by Alan Richardson and Karen Tack.

Easter Cookies

Cut-out cookies for an Easter party. The gk cut-out recipe went through a rigorous taste-testing process (which our husbands thoroughly enjoyed). We now feel that we have a winning cookie/icing combination! :) We must thank Mrs. E (Katherine's mother-in-law) and Mrs. K for the recipes!

Lauren's Bridal Shower

gk designs head to Texas!!!! Katherine hosted her sister's bridal shower in Houston on April 4th. The theme was "Red is the Color of Love." Here are some pictures from the party...

Shower game: "Guess the Bride's Age"
Guest favors...red & white M&Ms in clear boxes tied with ribbon

Fondant: You are fabulous!


We have decorated many cakes between the two of us, but this was our first experience using fondant icing. This was a practice cake for Katherine's sister's bridal shower.

Halloween fun!


We made these (not so spooky) marshmallow and pretzel treats for a Halloween party that we threw.
