showing off my counters ;)




I am in love with my new kitchen...isn't my granite pretty...and the marble is a HUGE cutting board they made me just for my sugar cookies and baking needs...love it! These cupcakes were for a 3 year old fairy princess birthday party. The crown was made out of fondant...small cake just for the birthday girl. I think this is the perfect way to celebrate a little person's birthday. Cupcakes are fantastic.... but the small personal cake makes it special just for the birthday girl.

Thoughtful Birthday...



I hope my husband loves me as much as this man must love his wife. He wanted a special cake for her...he went to a bunch of trouble getting ahold of me to make the cake (busy...too busy!) and then would make his follow up calls in the car on his way to work so that he could surprise her on her birthday. I had a great time making the cake knowing how much thought he had put into her day. The cake was simple but I loved the color combo and thought it was perfect for a birthday surprise..

cupcakes!

Chocolate Love


By far the richest most deserved cake I have ever made. I made this creation for the best lady ever. The cake was butter pound cake with a layer of mocha brownie, filling was cheesecake mousse and chocolate chip ganache. The entire cake was then iced with the ganache and topped with original See's chocolates...

a friend named "Taco"

Bad camera ...Cute cupcakes. I made these for my daughters friend lovingly nick named "Taco" it was her birthday...her favorite color is purple and they are topped with edible fondant "tacos". I wish I would have taken better pictures...the taco shells were awesome, even had flecks to resemble the real corn tortillas. The meat was brownie, cheese was coconut...and the rest was fondant....my daughter made me add the "bean dip and chip" at the side of the taco...

once there was a blog named sweetbakes..




And then she was busy...but alas I am back and really want to keep this blog updated and refreshed so get ready! First off the best Christmas ever and just a few hints of why it was so great...

A perfect two year old birthday...She LOVES M&M's... and she was so excited about the cake. She just kept taking handfuls of M&M's off of the top as we sang to her. A the cinderella doll...Oh how she loves Belle and Cinderella! She is so much fun!
