London Olympics

With the 2012 Olympics coming up, my niece decided to do her daughter's first birthday with an Olympics theme.  I didn't do the table here, just the cupcakes and cake.  She and her sister did the rest and when it all came together, it was very cute!

These two pics aren't great (I took them with my phone), but I may add more pics later when I ever get around to getting the good ones off of my camera (so what I am saying here is don't hold your breath!).

I know, I know....if you have ever asked me to make a cake, and I said "I don't make cakes", I am sorry!  I should say that I don't like to make big cakes and try to avoid it at all costs!!  I make exceptions now and then, and that is good for me, because it reminds me of the reasons why I should always tell people that "I don't make cakes". ☺

Super Bowl Snack Table

I had been working on a template for these little handmade paper sacks for another project.  

Then Super Bowl came along and I thought they would be the perfect combination of decoration for the table and function for snacks.  I also put pretzels in some, but didn't include them in the photo.  They are a little time consuming to make, but would be so cute for any snack buffet, for kids' birthdays or even to bring out at weddings for those who stay and dance all evening long.  They are about 4" tall and completely customizable.

I also made some chocolate chocolate cake pops in the shape of footballs and cupcakes with chocolate buttercream footballs on top.

Football is not my thing (at all), but if there are snacks and desserts involved, I am THERE!

14th Birthday Cake Pops!

Cake pops that look like cupcakes!!  These are so great for a special birthday party.  The bottom "cake" is made of rice cereal/marshmallow treats, covered with buttercream frosting, covered with homemade fondant.  DELICIOUS! 

 Cake Pops in the cupcake shape are 1/2 again as big as our normal size cake pop or cake truffle.  There are 24 cake pops on this "cake".

Here is the latest list of FLAVORS!

   I have been spending A LOT of time lately trying to perfect my recipes.  There are so many great flavors to choose from!
   BUT, I really need to get them narrowed down to the best ones to streamline my production.  Soooo, here is the latest list of flavors that I feel are ones that most everyone will love!
