To coordinate with the pirate-themed treasure chest birthday cake that I made for my niece's birthday party, I opted for a simple decoration of party swords and maraschino cherries. The cupcakes and cake squares looked great with the simple and striking combo of red, white and black.

For my niece's birthday this past weekend, I made a soccer ball cake. The timing couldn't have been better because a soccer ball cake is also perfect to celebrate the FIFA World Cup! The decorative process is straightforward but it takes some time and patience.

These cookies are reminiscent of strawberry shortcake and offer another way to use fresh strawberries when they are in season. They are simple yet striking, and extremely easy to decorate. I love the fact that the strawberries give them a natural splash of bright red so there's no need to use sprinkles or food coloring.

This giant baseball made the perfect individual birthday cake for my son's 1st birthday party. My son dived into the whole cake so I made cupcakes for the guests, decorating them with baseballs and red sprinkles.
