Baby Bailey Cupcakes

We had a baby shower for a very special baby girl and I brought these...


Chocolate sour cream little cakes with a personalized little cookie.

I wanted to do something really special for baby and mom. And these turned out so sweet. And I have to thank Bailey's mom for the wonderful comment she left. Good luck to you! And I hope you know that we are all thinking about you!

I've been très occupée...

I've been very busy this past weekend...


Speed Racer Cupcakes for a 6 year old's birthday.


Coconut Lemon Curd Tartlets for a baby shower.


And, my first attempt at catering SAVORY Little Fancies...

Tortellini Brochette.


Mini Tomato Tartlets.



Little Roast Beef Sandwiches.


Fancy Little Cheese Balls.




It was hectic, but thanks to my mom, who is très magnifique, it was a success. I learned that I'm probably not the easiest person to work with, because I like things to look exactly the way I've pictured them in my mind! But she was a trooper, she lovingly gave herself the title of sous chef (even though she knows far more than I do when it comes to cooking) and followed my every wish! Thank you mom! And merci to Natalie too, who took a leap of faith and hired me!
Here's to many more such Sweet and Savory adventures!

Fun with Vanilla Cupcakes...

I've had some ideas floating around my mind for a little while, and I finally got around to trying them. They turned out pretty yummy. And I think they're cute too!

A Little Twist on a Classic - Vanilla Cakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

Have I mentioned how much I love baking??? For those of you who know me, you know this last month has been stressful, to say the least. And it felt so good to be back in the kitchen focusing on something I love! Salut!
