Dessert Night....

One of my favorite customers asked me if I could help her out with a Dessert Night she was throwing at their new home. Having a "background" in catering---thank you Lyn and Skeet---I quickly jumped at the opportunity. We came up with several different ideas so their guests would have many options: S'mores cupcakes, Chocolate-dipped Macaroons, Cream Puffs, Oreo Cake Bites, Strawberry n' Cream Pound Cake just to name a few. Here is a shot of the spread not quite in its entirety.

Here are a few more of some of what was served... cake bites
Cotton Candy Cupcakes...Vanilla Cream Cheese Cupcakes....
Strawberry n' Cream Pound Cake....
Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donuts....
Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes... And something special for the kiddies...Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Everyone loves Cotton Candy!!!!

So meet our new cupcake flavor--- Cotton Candy! It's a rich strawberry based cupcake frosted with Cotton Candy Frosting. Mmmmm....

Choo choo!!!

Wow...this was sure fun to make. Our dear friends' lil' boy turned 3, and they asked us to make a cake for him. He is at stage where he is obsessed with trains...so we made him a train cake. This cake was so bright and cheerful and fun. Aiden-the birthday boy- LOVED the cake. Everything is edible...we used chocolate dipped Oreos for wheels, twix bars for logs in the cars, and obviously...lots of cake, fondant, and buttercream frosting.

Valentine's Fun...

just a few things we worked on today....

Why it's fun to be me....

So, my darling friend Liz-who is 10 years my younger and like a little sister to me, asked me if I would be her assistant in a cake decorating competition she was having at her high school. I gladly accepted. We spent all Monday night baking the cake, and dying the frosting, and cutting out the pieces we we were going to use to decorate because the rules said we'd only have one hour to do the whole cake. Tuesday evening, we showed up to her school and packed into their Foods Class Room along with 50 other people. We had a blast and she did such a great job. Here is the final product.


Last night, my friends Gygi and Tara came over for some help putting together cute lil' Baby Block cakes for a baby shower they are throwing this weekend. We cut and rolled and decorated for 5 hours. It was like adult arts n' craft night. We had tons of fun. Here are a couple pictures of the final products...


I am very lucky to have such fun friends!

Our newest creations...

So, we're always working on product development, and I think we hit a jackpot. They're a lil' bit country and a lil' bit rock and roll. Or maybe more like a lil' bit of cake and a lil' bit of chocolate--we like to call them Cake Truffles and/or Cake Bites. We haven't quite decided yet. They are yummy and FUN to make and we're hoping our customers will like them too. Here are a few pictures of the Red Velvet, Cookies n' Cream, and English Toffee. And we're also working on what I call Cake Lollies. They are essentially the same thing as our Cake Truffles/Cake Bites but they are on a stick...like a lollipop :)

And then there were....185

One of our wonderful corporate clients, MovaVie, placed another gift box order for their Ruby Fly In. The girls, Ethan, and I had a lot of fun getting them together.

Each box featured 4 cookies - Sugar, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Cranberry, and a bag of English Toffee, and a bag of Mocha Dusted Almonds. We did this for them in July of 2007, and they just placed another huge order for March 2th. Woohoo!
