FAQ

Q: Where did you get that great pattern for the background of some of the images?
A: All of the backgrounds are scrapbooking paper. The papers make GREAT backgrounds for food photos and you can find them at any hobby store, or even stores like Target.

Q: Where do you get your bright food coloring?
A: You need to use gel coloring, instead of the food coloring you buy in the baking aisle of the grocery store. Wilton and other brands make gel coloring, which give the frosting rich and vibrant color, without greatly impacting your frosting’s consistency. 

Q: How do you get your red or black frosting to be so rich… and not pink or gray?
Isn’t it a pain to try to achieve true red or black?! It seems like no matter now much red dye you add, it just looks pink. There is a solution to this problem — AmeriColor Super Red and AmeriColor Super Black! You can find these colors at your local Hobby Lobby store — or do a Google search and you’ll find countless online vendors that sell it. It is well worth the money spent, believe me!

Q: Where do you buy candy eyeballs?
I LOVE the fact that this is something we can purchase — so much easier than trying to make eyes out of frosting. I usually buy mine at one of my local baking shops, but you can search online and have them shipping to you.  My guess is that Amazon carries them.

Q: Can I use your photos on my own blog?
Contact me and ask before you do so. I don’t claim ownership to many of these recipes, but all of the photos were taken by me. Please ask permission before using!

Q: Do you accept advertisers on your blog?
Not at the moment but maybe someday.

Q: Do you write your own recipes?
No, I don’t. I bow down to those that do, but that’s not how I run my blog. I have a file folder of recipes I’d like to try — gathered from Pinterest, my favorite blogs, magazines, etc. I try the recipe and if it’s great, I take photos and blog about it, crediting the original recipe writer.  I view this site as more of my baking scrapbook than anything else. 

Q: Can you make _____ and ship it to me?
Oh I wish, but no. I’m not a bakery – I don’t run a business or have a free-standing shop. As a result, I can’t bake and ship. I can’t make your kid’s birthday cake for you.
