Cake POP's for Christmas

I just ventured into the Cake Pop world and to be honest.....I LOVE THEM!  I made these cute little creations as a token of my appreciation for the day care staff who take exceptional care of my little boy.

Cake Pop's....it all started with ONE!

....and "grew" to MANY more!  Delish!!

All dressed up for delivery

The ladies all LOVED them and the compliments.....OH MY!, was all I needed to feed my desire to explore more of these little creations of sweet indulgence!  Make sure to check in for more on my Cake Pop journey!

Merry Christmas To All and To All A Good Night!

We are now two weeks away from one of my FAVORITE days of the year......CHRISTMAS!!!  I have been blessed in so many ways this year.  One of which includes meeting an array of wonderful people who love my sweet creations as much as I do.  Seeing the bright, sparkling eyes and smiles from ear-to-ear when a client views their cake for the first time is the very reason I pour my heart and soul into each and every cake.  Although I love nothing more then to bring so much happiness to others, I will be slowing down to make special memories with my loved ones and most importantly my loving, supportive husband and my precious one-year-old son.  I will not be posting again until after Christmas and so I wanted to take just a moment to wish each and every one of you a Very MERRY Christmas and a Happy New Year!!  

 From Our Family to Yours.....Have a WONDERFULLY BRIGHT Holiday Season!

"Christmas is forever, not for just one day,

                                                            for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
                                                    like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
                                                       The good you do for others is good you do yourself..."

Some of My Favorite Things!

Tis the Season to enjoy a walk down memory lane!  It is true that I have an extensive ornament collection.....thousands of them!!  ...but my absolute favorite ornaments have to be the ones I have made throughout the past years.  Below are some of my favorite hand-made ornaments that I have lovingly created for friends and family.

A Baby Jungle for Baby "K"

There is nothing as precious as a brand new baby and nothing more exciting then getting ready to meet that sweet face.  They are bundles of endless joy and love to enjoy each and every day....and a new little one is on his way.  I had the pleasure of creating a cake for sweet baby "K" who does not have long to wait.  He will make his arrival in January.  The cake was designed to match the precious jungle theme that has been lovingly chosen to grace his nursery with a few added details.  Everything was made from fondant with hand painted details from the cute little monkeys to the jungle scene at the top.....and down to the tiniest details on the sleeping baby boy and miniature tropical flower bed he rests on.  The cute jungle animals surround the sleeping baby as if they are watching over him.  The monogram "K" was added for the family's last name and for what they call their little miracle....baby "K".   The "Welcome Baby" greeting was another extra detail stamped into the fondant on the cake board to give the perfect finishing touch to this sweet creation. 



A Precious New Gift...

You are the poem

I dreamed of writing

I longed to paint.

You are the shining star

I reached for In my

ever hopeful quest

for life fulfilled...

You are my baby.
