So yesterday was my class reunion. Oh my, my I have been out of school for a long time. It was good seeing all my old classmates even though I could remember their faces, but not their names. I guess the memory is first to go. :)

A Touch of Halloween

Just in the mood to share a touch of Halloween. Since it's one of my favorite times of the year, I thought I would do a candy buffet. So far it's turning out nice...just need the candy.

Random Pics...love the leaf donuts

The Morning Blend

So this morning I decided to start my day off with a cup of coffee. I haven't had my house brew in awhile. Awww...so tasty! While sipping on my second cup, I started to get excited because Halloween is 40 days away. Yippy! Then the ideas started to flood my usually cltuttered mind. Since I'm not a big fan of face or figures, I decided that a Halloween Candy and Sweet buffet would serve me better. I'm not looking for a spooky feel, but more of a whisical feel. I will be able to switch it up when Thanksgiving rolls around. I have most of my goodies, but I still will have to order more. I want to have: Smores Caramel Apples Caramel Corn Sour Candy Mini Pies...might just save that for Thanksgivings I want to try and make whoopie pies We shall see what happens. Will post progress...stay tune for my post on Gummie Shots Now back to my Morning Blend

Back to posting...

I think it's time for me to get back to blogging. I have gotten caught up in the world of Facebook and Twitter, not to metion school and work. I miss blogging. It's a fun way to get your thoughts out, without having to be restricted by a certain number of characters. I don't have any followers yet, and that's okay. If I make it interesting and creative, they will come. I wonder if I should keep a note book of what goes on in my day or if I should just wing it? hmmm... For now I think I'll wing it.

I'm back!

I have been gone for awhile, but now I'm back to blog about my new adventures.

The School Blues

The first week of school is over. I haven't seen so much homework since high school. And I still got six more semesters to go. Ugh!

Card Party Cake

It was a good day, yesterday. The Packers won and the cake I had to make a friend's aunt's 60th birthday turn out well. It was a Card Party theme and the cake was a rush order.  I didn't have anything on-hand that would fit the theme. I told the customer that I would do my best to try work the theme into the cake.

As time got close to party time. I still didn't have an idea of what I was going to do. I found some gambling theme buttons in my craft room. I got out my fabulous new tool and fondant. Here's what I came up with...

I think I did pretty good.

The aftermath...what a wonderful site!

Til next time, sweet baking.

Cakes, cakes, cakes and more cakes...

January has been a great month so far. I'm getting to do more cakes then I even have. I just had a customer leave with her cake for her daughter's cake. She seem pleased.

It wasn't some my best work, but it was still cute. At least I thought. I haven't worked with buttercream frosting in a long time. I have gotten use to using fondant (which I'm proud of my progress) and ganache.

Anywhoo...here's the Princess cake. I know it looks a little funny, but I bet it tastes great. I'll get'em next time.  Off the kitchen to finish my last cake of the day.

The Goat Rodeo...

Today was suppose to be "bread day", but I got busy with the Goat Rodeo aka life. So hopefully, I will be able to make some bread soon.

However, this weekend I do have a princess cake to do. I will try to get pictures up soon.

Have a Sweet Day!

From a Lemon Bar, to a Lemon Brick

These were a Christmas gift for my friend's husband. He looooooves Lemon Bars. He has told me that they are "almost" as good as his grandmother. Funny...what young person can out cook or bake a grandma?

Since I'm all about enjoying dessert, I decided to make his lemon bars how I like them, thick, creamy and full lemony flavor.

He was kind of shock to see the size of the bars, but life is too short to not enjoy dessert.

He gave my god-daughter a bite...OMG! These are like a Lemon Brick. They are huge!

Out of the mouth of an 18 y/o...lol

Birthday Celebration

This year started off with a bang! I got the pleasure of making a Quarter of a Century birthday cake, for really great girl. She was great to work with, even though she a had a hard time picking a cake flavor. I think she was in cake overload!
She finally settle on Chunky Monkey. A chocolate cake with a banana filling, peanut butter frosting and topped with a rich ganache. Very yummy, if I do say so myself.

Topper was an A for her name and 25 for her age.

The birthday girl and her cake. Too cute!
