Scarlett turns 1!

What a milestone! Our little girl had her first birthday in September. She is growing up so fast. She has all of her teeth, she's running around, trying to sound out words when we say them to her. Well, as some of you know, Mickey Mouse is Scarlett's most favorite character EVER! She will drop whatever she's doing if she sees him. So, of course, I had to make her a Mickey cake. This is the first cake I've done like this, and it turned out great. Way better that I had imagined. And I also did cupcakes. Chocolate with vanilla buttercream. 

 

Tori's Birthday cupcakes

These are Double Chocolate cupcakes that I made for Tori on her birthday. She came over, and our two beautiful daughters had a play date. And Scarlett took her first steps as well!!

 

Campfire cupcakes!

Tis the season...... For s'mores!

My latest creation, Campfire cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla butter cream. (I haven't yet perfected the marshmallow buttercream) Sprinkled with cinnamon and a mini s'more!

 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th everyone! (I know, it's August...) 

I made these cupcakes for my Mom's house. We had a nice bbq with the family. Chocolate cupcakes (the most popular so far I guess!) with blue vanilla butter cream and star sprinkles.

Chocolate!

These cupcakes are chocolate with a chocolate butter cream frosting. The best chocolate butter cream I've ever tasted..... This frosting is so creamy and fluffy, it's dangerous!

 

Graduation Cupcakes

On May 27th 2011, my little sis graduated high school! This entry is long overdue, but that's what happens with an 11 month old (trying) to run everywhere! So, first of all, congratulations to Kelsey! 

The cupcakes I made for her graduation party were Pina Colada, (requested by Kelsey) and Red Velvet. (Requested by Mom, and they are her school colors) The Pina Colada are pineapple cupcakes (with crushed pineapple) topped with coconut cream cheese frosting (a little rum never hurt!) And sprinkled with toasted coconut. And the red velvet are my red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting topped with red and white sprinkles.

On May 27th 2011, not only did my sister graduate, but my Grandmother passed away. She was one of the strongest women I know, and I know she is so proud of you Kelsey. We love you Grammy, forever and always. I'm so glad that my daughter got to spend time with you.

Banana crumb muffins

Mmmmm. Yes please, this is what I want for breakfast! Homemade banana crumb (no walnuts, yuck!) muffins. Heat these up with some butter and they are so good. I need to make some more soon!
