Cupcakes, Cookies, & other Sweets.... Oh My!

Cakes are just the only sweets out there.... I do this for a living, and my own husband isn't really a "cake man". On the rare occasion when he does like something sweet, he prefers pies or cookies... or something along these lines....


This Groom didn't like cake either. The Bride came to me and asked me to make a Banana Pudding cake since Banana Pudding was his all time favorite dessert. I told her that if that what it was, then why mess with perfection? I served them in individual cups with their monogram on the flags and the reverse side had their wedding date.



This groom was a huge Baseball fan! So what better dessert to show his passion than to do Baseball Brownies. They were a huge hit!

Summer's Here (and almost gone by the time I post this!)
What better way to celebrate the kids being out of school than with cookies.
Cookies can be personalized with their names, as well as individually bagged for them.
Aloha Cookies!
Cookies are a great way to get the kids (and adults too!) excited about an upcoming trip!
Or you could do as my Mom did when we were growing up, and create a little Goodie treat bag for the kids to have fun with on the way down to the beach. Keeps them entertained and each child has their own cookies, so no sharing has to happen! :)

Welcome some new neighbors to the neighborhood with something sweet!
Have some friends moving away? Send them off with a sweet treat for the ride.
Realtors, this is a huge hit for you to send to your clients after closing on a house.
What a great idea for those future homeowners moving into homes to have a little
sweet treat to get them going while unpacking!



Baby Announcement Cookies

This adorable couple placed this cookie order with me before the birth of their little girl.
These cookies were individually wrapped and tied with a bow. These cookies were given out to the people that came to come visit them in the hospital, as well as bring them food and goodies to their house to welcome their angel.
I just think this is such a great idea for saying 'Thank You for being so Sweet!'

Father's Day Tool Time Cookie Set


Tie one on Dad! You deserve it!
Happy Father's Day!


Sweet Avery loved her Valentine's day Cookies that her parents sent her.
Her Mom ordered the 'Princess package' for Valentine's Day!


This fun bride was having an outdoor casual summer wedding.
Fun colors and lots of choices for flavors were requested!



Minnie Mouse Cupcakes for a little girl's 3rd Birthday!


This client has 2 of the most adorable girls! They were having a "Pinkalicious" Birthday themed party. Pinkalicious is a very popular children's book right now (for those of you who don't know. Don't feel bad, I had to "Google" it once I got this request.)
This looks like the cupcake that the little girl eats in the book.


Cupcakes for a Baby Shower expecting a boy.


Another boy Baby Shower.

I'm still here.......

and baking away........ Whew! It's been such a busy busy busy past 6 months! I know that I haven't been very good at posting pictures. We had a little camera mishap, so I went about 5+ months without one (I'm definitely the kind of person that waits to get something that I absolutely adore, and (blame my parents for this, but.....) I have the mentality of: "Save up and get what you really really want instead of just purchasing something to fill the void. You end up wasting $$, in my opinion...)- So.... I have been using my sister's camera for the past 6 months and been taking pictures, but haven't been so great at updating this blog. I do give it up to the people out there that update their blogs every single day. It's HARD work! I promise that I am going to do a better job at keeping this updated.... :)

Below are some pictures of cakes that I have done over the past 6 months or so..... These are about 1/10 of the actual # of cakes that I've done, but I figured that I would put some up!

Don't forget to order your cakes for your special occasion! It's NEVER too early to go ahead & get it marked off your To-Do List, and ensure that I am available! Dates get booked fast!!!
