Merry Christmas!!

Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! I thought I would share this photo of our family tree that my 13 year old daughter took. She loves taking pictures and has become the resident family photographer.

Christmas Cupcakes

I have been wanting to decorate cupcakes with mini sugar cookies for the longest time and have finally had the chance to. I love how they turned out. Yellow and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream.

Distinctive Cork Champagne Tasting Event

I was asked to sell my truffles at a Champagne tasting event at the Distinctive Cork in Naperville. My friend Patty was there selling her delicious toffee as well. We had a great time (especially trying the different champagnes) and were able to sell our treats as Holiday gifts. If you are in Naperville, check out the Distinctive Cork it's a really nice wine bar and restaurant. My truffles are on the dessert menu; which is really exciting for me!

Twilight Themed 40th Birthday

I was asked to create cupcakes for a 40th birthday party with a Twilight theme. The birthday girl is a huge fan (don't you love the photo shopped pictures of her and Edward). Since I have never read the books or seen the movie I scoured the Internet for inspiration. I found another bakery in a different state that did this on the cupcakes, I thought it was so cute I decided I would use it. The cupcakes are yellow and chocolate with a combination of frosting (chocolate fudge, coffee buttercream and vanilla buttercream). I've been told that the birthday girl was really pleased with her cupcakes ;)

Baby Shower Cookies

These were created for a client who was throwing a baby shower for her daughter. She wanted a variety of cookies and wanted each cookie to have pink, purple and white. We used the baby's monogram in a few of the cookies.

Zoe's 1st Birthday Pictures!

I'm so excited that my client sent me these pictures from her daughter's 1st birthday party. It's so great to see the cupcake tower all assembled; she did an amazing job putting it together. How cute is that baby!! Zoe enjoying the chocolate cupcake is priceless :)
