DIY: Turn premade pound cake into chichi petits fours.

“People will swear these are from a fancy bakery,” says Atlas of this tempting shortcut. To follow her lead: Use a serrated knife to cut the crust off a pound cake, then slice the cake into one-inch squares. Place them on a cooling rack with parchment paper underneath, pour icing over the squares, and let set for an hour. Atlas’s 60-second icing recipe? Mix four tablespoons of water to two cups of sifted confectioner’s sugar. Tint the mixture by stirring in a bit of gel food-coloring.

Truebluemeandyou: I’m all for turning something premade into something you can serve at a party that looks so pretty - and I can see these in all sorts of pastel colors. Also, the icing recipe is beyond simple.

DIY Buttercream Rose Cupcake Tutorial. I’ve always wondered how to do this. So easy and you can buy packages of tips at Michaels (for the holidays I gave a girlfriend a “beginners’ set” for $5 after the 40% coupon), although you only need one tip for this tutorial. Easy to understand tutorial from Bird On A Cake here.
