One Charming Party.

You have all heard me talk about the Domestic Goddess. She is an amazing party planner, so talented! Beautiful to every last detail! Her party planning company is called One Charming Party. She has a new website and party blog. Check it out here. And make sure you click the link to her website from her blog. I recently did some desserts for her for a first birthday party. She has photos on her blog, professional photos, not the kind of photos that I take ;) Check it out and enjoy!



New! Midweek Treats!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know that I will now be offering “Midweek Treats”. I always have people asking me if they can order just a few of something, but normally I have a minimum of 2 dozen. These midweek treats will be small boxes of 4 – 8 treats and they will be offered every Wednesday. No minimum on the amount of boxes you order. I think it’s the perfect way to brighten up the middle of the week!

This week I will be offering what I call “The Ice cream Parlor Collection”. This will be a box of 4 cupcakes inspired by some classic ice cream treats – in honor of this beautiful summer weather that we are finally enjoying! The box will include:



1 Orange Dreamsicle Cupcake – Moist Orange Cake with an Orange-Vanilla Swirl Frosting
1 Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcake – Chocolate Cake topped with Rich Mint Buttercream and Mini Chocolate Chips
1 Neopolitan Cupcake – Chocolate and Vanilla Cake topped with Fresh Strawberry Buttercream (Pictured above)
1 Cookies n Cream Cupcake – Chocolate Cake topped with Cookies n Cream Buttercream

The boxes will be $4/each. Please have your orders in by Tuesday night at midnight and the treats will be ready for pick-up on Wednesday after 4:00 PM.

Thanks!

New Menu Addition.

I have had several requests for mini cheesecakes, so this holiday weekend I decided to give them a try. It took me a couple tries to get them right - the first time I made them the crust wasn't moist enough and the cheese cake wasn't thick enough, but in the end we figured it out and they turned out délicieux!



I topped them with fresh berries and an apricot glaze. The picture isn't the best, as I took it whilst running out the door, late for a 4th of July BBQ, but you get the idea! They will be priced at $36 for 2 dozen, with a 2 dozen minimum.

And on a side note...I think I have completely spoiled my children for life. There were perfect rice krispie treats, amazing chocolate chip bar cookies, and yummy sugar cookies also present at this BBQ. But no. My kids needed the fancy shmancy cheesecakes. They would settle for nothing less. At one point I looked over while I was chatting with some friends and Thomas (my 2 year old) was double fisting it with berries and cheesecake remnants all over his face. Not good. Not good at all. :)
