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…

A while back I shared photos of some of my dessert tables with a new friend. She mentioned needing bride and groom cookies for a bridal shower she was throwing. Sounded like fun! Last weekend I got the call asking if I could make 24 of each a bride and groom cookie along with a…

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…

Western Baby Shower Cake

Michele — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 02:24:00 +0000

A friend of my sister-in-law’s needed a baby shower cake at relatively the last minute and asked if I could help. OF COURSE! So on Wednesday, after hearing her ideas, I got to work putting together a sketch of what I could do. The theme was western and she had a bandanna design in mind.…

Red Pops

Michele — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 21:36:00 +0000

While preparing for our Thanksgiving Family Dinner, I added an extra line to my to-do list for what I thought would be a simple non-Thanksgiving related project. A new acquaintance mentioned she could use some red cake pops for her daughter’s birthday party. I really wanted to help her out and so I went ahead…

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,…

Tonight we celebrated my brother-in-law’s 30th birthday. He likes playing golf so I used that as the theme for the dessert table decor. Green and plaid tans were the color scheme. I tried to come up with some funny food descriptions as well. I think the “water hazard” berry jello is my favorite.I made the…

I’ve been working non-stop since last night (minus about 5 hours for sleep) on a cake for one of my husband’s co-workers. It was to be delivered today at 4:30. I had already baked the cakes and last night I iced it and finally (after much fiddling) got the black fondant base on before falling…

New Party Design – Happy 25th Sarah!

Michele — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 23:54:00 +0000

A couple of weeks ago my sister-in-law celebrated her 25th birthday. Of course I really wanted to do something special and created a small dessert table and graphic design theme just for her. The food wasn’t too shabby either. It was just family and as usual we had a great time together, though with a…

My sister and sister-in-law came over for some girl time and I wanted to get some snapshots of a sweets table, so we made it a cute little brunch get-together. Hey, though it was just for three of us, we were worth the pretty setup. It was interesting trying to take pictures and still talk…

Practice

Michele — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 22:48:00 +0000

I had a leftover/extra cake around and I decided to practice my quilting pattern. I also got some new plunger cutters and wanted to see how well they worked. Practice is always good for many reasons. The first, I can get a feel for how long something like this will take, and two, I can…
