It's a jungle out there baby!

I really like how this jungle themed 1st Birthday turned out. These little cupcake liners and picks are soo adorable! And the little monkey cake for the birthday boy to dive into... so adorable!!

A Groovy Tie-Dye Party!

My little cupcake turned four over the weekend and her party was a tie-dye theme! It was sooo much fun, and the cupcakes and cake were a lot of fun to make for her too! I did plain chocolate cupcake with tie-dye swirled buttercream frosting and sprinkles. Then for the cake I made a tie-dye cake, with vanilla cream filling and buttercream frosting pipped on to match her tie-dye shirt she wore that day. It was all a big hit!!!

It's been a long time!

Geesh has it really been 3 months since I posted any yummy new dessert recipes??? I guess that seems about right. I've been rather busy and a little bit sick so I hadn't done much baking except a thing here and there. Now that I'm feeling better tho and holidays and fun stuff coming up I promise to have more posts for yummy desserts!

Merry Christmas Cupcakes!

Simple yet Adorable!
Happy Holidays!!

Christmas Sugar Cookies

Growing up I remember always making sugar cookies with my grandmother and I remember always loving them. Over the years I've tried to perfect the recipe I have, sometimes the cookies would turn out too flat -resulting in a sort of crunchier sugar cookie. Not what I wanted. Sometimes they'd puff up too much and lose their shape in the oven - resulting in snowman cut outs looking more like melted snowballs! Not what I wanted. This year though I was asked to make 50 mitten cookies for my Mother in law's annual Christmas Tea Party and cookie exchange. They were going to hang on little trees as centerpieces on the tables and be given to each guest when they went home. So I knew they had to be perfect. And thankfully this time... they were! Take a look at how adorable they turned out! I can't wait to make them again the week of Christmas with Little Cupcake, and again on Valentines Day, and again for Easter, and well... you see where this is going! There will be lots of Sugar Cookie posts in our future!

Birthday Girl turns 2!

My dearest and oldest friend's daughter turned 2 this year and I got to bake her cake! It turned out really cute, I loved the color combination of the different shades of pinks, cream and chocolate brown. I filled the cupcakes with vanilla and chocolate mousse, and the giant cupcake had cookies and cream filling. Yum!
