Valentine Sweetness...

You'll never guess what my daughter took to school for her valentine treats...


Strawberry Dipped Marshmallow Pops. We wrapped them up like lollipops and tied on a valentine that she made all by herself. So fun! And I promise not to post any more pictures of dipped marshmallows. This week anyway. Vive l'amour!

I helped the domestic goddess with a tea party she did a while back. She is AMAZING! You should all go check out her blog! She is really creative and has tons of fun ideas to share. She recently posted some pictures from the tea party, and I think everyone should go check them, and see how truly fabuleux she really is! Click here to visit her blog.

New obsession.

In case you haven't noticed already, I have a new obsession. Dipped marshmallows. I don't even like marshmallows. Yet... I. Am. Obsessed. Here are some more little cupcakes. And I do have to admit, though I don't like marshmallows, I have eaten one (or two, or three, or four) of these chocolate dipped. Because unfortunately, for me, chocolate pretty much trumps everything else. I would probably eat cardboard, if it was dipped in chocolate...

Valentine Cupcake

So, I got inspired by my favorite cupcake blog, and decided on a different cupcake for the Sweets for Your Sweetie boxes. These are neapolitan little cupcakes - a layer of chocolate cake, a layer of vanilla cake, topped with fresh strawberry frosting and a milk chocolate dipped mini marshmallow. Your sweetie will love these (mine did anyway:)

Coming Soon...

Within the next couple of days I will be posting some photos of my Very Sweet Valentine's Special. They will be little gift boxes filled with assorted Valentine's themed sweets. They will be called "Sweets for Your Sweetie" and they will be priced at $7.50 a box for a box of 8 treats. I will be making them available on Friday February 13th and Saturday February 14th. The sweets will look something like these cupcakes that I made for Sofie, but the boxes will include chocolate little cupcakes with fresh strawberry frosting and a choc. dipped marshmallow, sugar cookies with vanilla buttercream, cream puffs, and chocolate dipped strawberries. I will post photos ASAP. And get your orders to me as soon as possible (and I promise, this really will make your sweetie smile:)

My First Wedding

I was given an amazing opportunity for my first wedding. I did the thank you favors for High School Musical's Kaycee Stroh. It was amazing, truly fabuleux! The wedding was at La Caille - the first time I have ever been there, though I have always wanted to go there (hint, hint, hubby). There were over 500 guests. I thought for sure we would run out of cookies! The guests were able to fill a bag of homemade sweets while they waited for the valet to get their cars, and some people were loading up (that's the point, right?)! But, miraculously, we ended up with about 150 extras (out of about 1600 cookies). It was perfect. Kaycee is so down to earth and just so much fun. She made a beautiful bride, and hopefully she had a chance to eat the cookies that we packed for her:) I was able to meet a lot of really nice people, and I am sure alot of good will come from this experience. We weren't allowed to take any photographs, but the photographer will give me copies of his as soon as he can. Hopefully (fingers crossed) they will be pictured in People! I will post a link as soon as I can. In the meantime I just want to say THANK YOU, MERCI, DEKUJI, DANKE, and so on and so forth, to my amazing mom, who became affectionately known as "the cookie mom". I just hope that I can pay forward even a fraction of what she has done for me to my own daughter!

Grand America Bridal Show

Today I did my first Bridal Show and it was AMAZING! I had so much fun. I also had so much nervous energy that I didn't stop moving or talking all day long. But it was great.

My wonderful mom came and helped me out. We were on our feet from 6:30 this morning until, well, what time is it now? Midnight. What a fun and full day! Thanks mom!
