Up, up and away sugar cookies

These cookies were made for a baby shower that the client was giving as favors. She sent me pictures on how she packaged them.

Cat in the Hat Cupcakes and Cakepops

I have done Cat in the Hat goodies before with more elements, but I figured I'd put these up because this is slightly different.  These were for a baby shower.  The client was referred to me by another client.  The cake-pops are red velvet, the cookies are vanilla flavor, and the cupcakes are yummy cookies and cream (to die for).  I delivered these and I was in panic mode because it was so hot and humid and I was scared that the cake pops would melt, but they made it in one piece.  The client loved her goodies. I'm sure she will be calling me for her baby's birthday.

 

 

 

Fluttering butterflies baby shower sweets

I love butterflies, so when this beautiful mother to be told me she wanted butterflies for her baby shower theme, I was elated! I absolutely loved the wonderful pastel girly colors used. On our consultation we decided on vanilla cream cake pops, butter cookies, and red velvet with cream cheese flavor for the cake and cupcakes. The cupcakes I only sprinkled with pink sanding sugar because she had purchased some edible butterflies and was placing them herself at the venue.
The sweets made her happy which made me happy as well. She texted me the following message:

"Thank you so much for everything!!!! It all was beautiful and amazingly delicious!!!!
I had a lot of people asking me for your info cuz they were impressed!!! :). Couldn't have been more satisfied!!! :)))))"

Another satisfied client. Yay!

Arabian Nights Valentine's Dinner Party

I had such a wonderful time preparing for my annual Valentine's dinner party for 2012. I got a bit scared with the menu not knowing if my guests would enjoy some of the Middle Eastern flavors, but everyone loved it and even had seconds. Loved working on desserts. As my guests arrived they were directed to the appetizer table where I had several types of hummus Babaganoush, taboulie, pita chips, etc. We had some crazy arab props and we took crazy pictures. They all came dressed with a Middle Eastern feel. I really enjoyed having all my crazy friends over and I dare say that I think they had fun too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Minnie and Mickey birthday party

I know I always say this. but I loved working on this theme! My sister-in-law, Annie, wanted to have a combined party and was pulling her hair not knowing what to do for Giselle's 4th birthday and Christopher's 1st Birthday that didn't take away from the importance of Chris' first celebration since their birthdays are so close in date.  She wanted to be practical because they were taking the kids to Disney World and to have two separate parties was an unnecessary expense.  Although Giselle's 1st birthday was Minnie Mouse , we all thought it was still something appropriate because she loves the characters and also, it was a great idea because of their trip to the Magic Kingdom. So Mickey and Minnie in all their glory it was.  Annie always knows what she likes and wants and I'm happy she and I have similar taste and like simplicity and symmetry.  I can't help it, it's how my brain works, lol!

I made two 8" round cakes in Marble loaf with vanilla buttercream filling, eache topped with a half circle of yellow pound cake that were covered in black fondant and then I placed ears made out of black fondant with a spinkle of Tylose to harden. I decorated one of the cakes as for Minnie and the other for Mickey.  I also made Cake pops in the shape with mouse ears, sugar cookies, cupcakes and decorated them as Mickey and Minnie, I also made marshmallow pops.  Decorations were balloons in the three colors, die cut banner and center pieces with their names and ages, as well as paper hats with ears and goody bags with Mouse silhouettes that I put together.  The kids were dressed like Mickey and Minnie and looked so darn cute! Annie had everyone come dressed in black, white, or red.  Although, it was a very small party with family only and a few very close friends everything turned out awesome.  My husband made a mean BBQ in the backyard!
