Too cool for school.

I know this is late notice, but I have been crazy busy and somehow neglected to post this earlier.
Halloween Cookie Decorating Kits for School Classes.
24 Pumpkin Shaped Sugar Cookies.
1 Tub of Orange Tinted Buttercream Frosting.
$15
This is pretty close to the price that Harmon's offers, maybe even cheaper - and I am pretty sure this stuff will taste better! Let me know by 5:00 tomorrow (Thursday) and I will either deliver the orders Friday morning or you can pick them up from me (depending on how close you are).

Peppermint Hi-Hats

Apparently these are a classic, on the East Coast. I decided it was time for them to take a trip west.



These are my version of the hi-hat, which is a chocolate cupcake (in this case, a mini cupcake) topped with homemade marshmallow, which I flavored with peppermint, and then dipped in chocolate. Mmmmm. Heavenly.



This is what they look like on the inside. Or I guess I should say this is what they looked like, because they were gone about 3 minutes after I took this photo.



And on a side note, here is a picture of some Thomas the Train cupcakes I did for a birthday. Needless to say, my son was not very happy when he realized that these were not for him.

Little Baby Birdies...

I made these cupcakes and toppers for a baby shower. The mom-to-be wanted the cupcakes to match the baby's bedding, pictured here.


Vanilla little cakes with vanilla butter cream and personalized almond glazed sugar cookies.

Toppers

More to come, but here a couple photos of some toppers I did for a baby shower in September. The cupcakes are chocolate cake with fresh strawberry butter cream and peach almond cake with fresh peach butter cream... And, in case you didn't figure it out, the mom-to-be's colors were bright orange, yellow, and pink, with a touch of lime green.



PS Baby Lucy was born just a few a days ago - CONGRATS to mom and baby!

September

I have been busy baking. So busy that my laundry has piled up, my kids have run wild, and my hubby has felt entirely neglected. I have enjoyed it immensely however! Here are a few photos...




Spooky Cookies, personalized for a Halloween Party. (I guess this was technically October, but you get the idea)


Autumn themed cupcakes. Chocolate zucchini cake topped with cinnamon butter cream. Y-U-M The kids and I snuck a few of the extras before I delivered these...


Lolli"pops" Homemade, buttery, ooey gooey caramel corn, on a stick, dipped in chocolate and rolled in pecans.


Personalized cupcakes for a Senior Living Center.


My own twist to the classic "Snowball" Cupcakes.


Sparkled Strawberry Sugar Cookies with an almond glaze. These went atop some Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes for a 3 year old b-day party. Unfortunately, I neglected to capture a photo of the cakes...


Handmade chocolate butterflies atop fresh strawberry butter cream and chocolate cake.

It's been a busy month. And the madness continues, so I guess I will get back to baking!
