The Cupcake Adventure

Michele — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:18:00 +0000

Last October I received an email from the pastor’s assistant at my church looking for prices on cupcakes for the annual Women’s Banquet. She originally asked for a quote on 480 cupcakes (60 tables with 8 cupcakes each.) They were considering them for double duty as each table’s centerpiece and dessert. Cathy was also interested…

Hello everyone. This post is a heavy-weight one for me. It’s about something very personal to me and my family. You see, about 4 years ago my husband and I decided we wanted to grow our family by adding a little one. The only option was through adoption. We did lots of fundraising as the…

Cookie Turkey Tutorial for Thanksgiving Treat!

Michele — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:53:00 +0000

Hi all. I thought you might like to know how I put together the little cookie turkeys from last year’s Thanksgiving table. I have been making these little guys for probably 10 years now. I’d bring a tray into work and they’d be gone fairly quickly. One year my boss thought they were so funny…

I have been thinking about St. Patrick’s day – haven’t you? 😉 It was about 10 years ago (wow) I found this recipe on BHG’s site (here) for St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes. I was looking for something “green” to bring to the office for my boss’s birthday. His birthday falls on March 17th and guess…

Sweets Delivery!

Michele — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 04:13:00 +0000

What a thrill to finally finish the 40 dozen cookies order I had for a bat mitzvah. We decided I’d make 1 dozen each of snowballs and biscotti for each of the 20 boxes. The snowballs were a breeze but the biscotti took forever. It take 40 minutes per batch of about 2 dozen cookies,…

Cheesecake Pops almost out the door!

Michele — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 20:51:00 +0000

I finished the pops this morning and I’m so happy with how they turned out. I covered half of them in white chocolate and the other half in regular chocolate. The client provided gold sugar sprinkles to add to them and that made them really sparkle. I packaged them in gold cups and voila! Elegant…

As usual, my mind started going many miles a minute when it was decided we would have family over for dinner and dessert last night.

More Cookies…

Michele — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:22:00 +0000

Tonight they are peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. I was going to be baking cornbread for dinner so I figured, since I have the oven on, why not bake another new recipe. These aren’t as chocolaty brownie-like as the ones from last night, obviously, but they are still quite tasty and tender! I think I…

Michele — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:58:00 +0000

I just finished baking a batch of oh-so-rich chocolate cookies. My son was so proud to help crack the eggs into the bowl, turn the mixer on and off, along with ‘dump’ in the flour and other little things I could trust him with. It’s great to have this time with him and I expect…
