Little Mermaid Cupcakes

Like I said, girly heaven! Here are some Little Mermaid themed cupcakes I did for the sweet little daughter of a friend of mine. Little Mermaid figurines, chocolate shells and sugar pearls all atop buttercream frosting- yum!

Princess Cupcakes

Since I only have boys, I jump on any chance I get to make girly treats. These past couple weeks I've had 2 cupcake orders for girls' birthday parties- I was in pink and purple heaven! Here's some princess themed cupcakes...

Pretty Cupcakes.

I'm not too sure why I never did a post about these cupcakes because I thought they turned out gorgeous! They were for the Baptism party for the daughter of a friend of mine from high school. I did chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese-buttercream frosting- yum!

Summer is here!

I know that it's officially summertime when I get an order for flip flop cookies. These cookies were for a sweet little girl's 4 year old birthday party and they were so fun to make. I especially loved using bright purple icing this time! Don't these just make you want to hit the beach?

Tulip Flower Cookies

My family and I celebrated my grandmother's 95th birthday this last weekend. We wanted the party to have a fun, and spring-y feel so I made tulip flower cookies to use as favors and decoration. I loved that the colors turned out so bright and they looked great in their jellybean planters.

Drum Birthday Cake

My husband's cousin asked me to make a cake for her to surprise her drummer boyfriend for his 40th birthday and I was happy to take on the task! I modeled the cake after his drums, which are sparkly white with a black drum-head. And the best part was that my husband and I also got invited to the show that he and his band were playing, so we also got to enjoy the music and eat the cake too- yum! Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and fondant, sugar pearls and sanding sugar for decoration. Though I must say, the cake didn't look quite as nice once the knife got to it...

More Yo Gabba Gabba Cookies.

So I have baked lately, just not new stuff. Here's another batch of Yo Gabba Gabba cookies that I made for a birthday party a couple weeks ago. I think they look great tied up with the ribbon!

Simple Wedding Cake

Sorry not much business lately! Here's a wedding cake I did for the same Lake Tahoe wedding a couple weeks ago. The bride just wanted a small, simple cake for her and her husband. It looked great with her cake topper but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with it. It was a vanilla cake with a raspberry and custard filling, vanilla buttercream frosting and pink fondant pearls and sugar decorating it.

Flippie-Floppies

Here are some pastel flip flop cookies I did for a wedding up in Lake Tahoe earlier this month. They were for a casual wedding and the bride wanted to hand out cookies instead of cake to her guests because she said they tasted better than cake! She chose different pastel colors for the cookies to go along with all the colors in her wedding. They were sugar cookies with royal icing and sugar sprinkles.

Yo Gabba Gabba

Hello Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I was super busy this past weekend. Here are some Yo Gabba Gabba cookies I did for a birthday party last Friday. They were fairly big at 4" and looked great with all the characters together. I only made a dozen, but whew- they were time consuming! Worth it though, since they turned out way cuter that I'd imagined!

Here's a close up of Brobee and more pictures can be found on my flickr.

For those of you not following the tv woes of the preschool crowd, here's a picture of the characters.

A, B, C... don't you want to eat me!

Got the snack cookies done! I did letters for first names of all the kids for my son's preschool class and some extra stars for the parents. I lost my list of their names but I somehow managed to remembered them all and everyone got the right letter (whew!) except for 1 little boy who was new, but luckily he was happy with one of the extra A's. And because one of the little gir's named Cate was absent today, a new little girl named Cassie got her C!

Unfortunately, little peanut woke up sick on Wednesday so he couldn't go to preschool today. He missed all the kids enjoying the cookies as well as getting the chance to eat his own! But no worries, I set his aside and he'll get to enjoy his blue C cookie when he's feeling better. Sugar cookies with royal icing and colorful sprinkles- I just love how the sprinkles look!

Snack time!

This is my first live post! Live meaning it's about something I'm doing now rather then something I've already done. Thursday is my son's day to bring snack for his preschool so I'm taking the opportunity to make some fun cookies! Here's the start of the process, basic sugar, eggs, flower, vanilla, etc. It was extra exciting because I got to try out my new sifter. It went well considering it's a sifter and pretty basic. I just stuck the dough in the 'fridge to chill for a hour. I'll let you know how it goes on Thursday!

Cupcakes!

Time to mix it up and post something besides cookies. Here are some cupcakes I did last summer for my fiancee's sister's birthday party. They're little flowers with some colorful sugar. I used a chocolate cupcake to look like dirt with different colors of frosting. I used gobstoppers for the middle and marshmallows for the flowers. They were perfect for the summer garden party!

Birthday Cookies.

Here are some cookies I did for a joint birthday party. My friend's son was celebrating his 3rd birthday and her daughter was celebrating her 1st! There wasn't a specific theme so I made blue stars for Peter and pink hearts for Katie. I did A LOT of cookies but I was so happy and honored to be a part of such a special occasion! They were sugar cookies with royal icing and TONS of sparkly sugar! I have to admit here that my fiancee, Gregory, and his sister, Elaine, helped out with the decorating. I couldn't have done it without them!

They looked yummy before we decorated them,
but even better after!
