I love to make sweet treats for my family. These are my Valentine Creations. I made some for sale and some for home. The cornelli lace is my favorite design and very simple to make.

A Week of Treats comes to an End!
It has been a busy week of baking in my house. My daughter just had a birthday, so we had to make a cookie cake for her birthday. Then we made cupcakes for school. Finally we have been working on a castle cake for her actual party. Everything turned out o.k. I was in such a need of a break, that for cub scouts, I just made a box mix brownies and cake mix cookies. Everyone loved them just the same.
I am in need of a day off from baking, but it will have to wait until after this weekend. I can take a day off, but not any more than a day. At least it is something I truly love to do. LOL!

Princess Castle Cake
I made this for my daughter's birthday party. I am pretty new to decorating, so I had a few struggles, but I think it turned out o.k. The turrets are covered in purple candy melts and sanding sugar. The cake is buttercream frosting. She will love it, but we still have several hours until the party. Hope it makes it.

Birthday Cookie Cake
The party continues. My daughter had a cookie cake for her birthday, cupcakes for school, and another cake for her birthday party. There are always a lot of sweets at our house.
Birthday Cupcakes for my Daughter
These were the leftover cupcakes and I wanted to try to use the rose design on them. It was super easy and I thought they really looked good. Plus, it is a little less frosting than the other way I frost them.
Birthday Cupcakes for my Daughter
I mixed 3 colors together for my daughter's cupcakes. She love pink and purple and I thought white would be the perfect touch. She helped with the sprinkles.

Blue and White Christmas Cookies
I have been busy decorating Christmas Cookies for family and friends. I love to do it and have found a wonderful recipe. The only person who won't eat them is my hubby. He doesn't like sweets. Lucky for me, I didn't marry him for his taste buds. I only had kids, so I could bake!!!! Just kidding.
I love being the mom with treats.

3-D Winter Scene Cookie
The picture is a little blurry, but I made these for fun yesterday. I love to make cut-outs and was getting a little bored with my usual cut-out. These would be a nice little gift for a teacher.Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Christmas Cookies
Christmas is coming fast. I tried out my new cutters today. Love them!! Not to mention the cookies taste so good. I used a traditional sugar cookie recipe with royal icing. I'll have to make some more.

Daisy Cookie Bouquet
My new project has been learning to make cookie bouquets. They are so adorable, not to mention yummy. This is only my second bouquet. Another unique gift idea for someone who is hard to buy for, or when you just want to say thanks!

Halloween Cookies
I think I am starting to get the hang of decorating cut-out cookies. These are my latest attempts. O.k., but I ran out of time and had to finish fast so we could visit friends. I also decided to bring them to their house. For some reason the kids can't stop eating these ones. Lately they don't even bother eating them, but these disappeared pretty fast.

Happy Meal Treats
I made these for my son's birthday party at school. I have heard of so many moms making them for treats, but have never seen one myself. I used a sandwich cake cookie for the bun http://simplycooking-for5.blogspot.com/2007/03/sandwich-cookies.html , chocolate icing from a can for the burger, marshmallow fondant for the ketchup, mustard and lettuce. The french fries are shoestring potato chips. And, a juice box was good enough for a drink because it didn't need to be refrigerated. I also wrapped the burger in yellow tissue paper. If I would have had more time, I would have written hamburger on the tissue paper, but I don't think the kids cared. It was a great success! My son loves the extra attention from the teachers when they see my creations.
We're moving!
I have not been baking lately. Next week I will probably make treats for my son's baseball team, but other than that I have been posting pictures of other's creations. Why? We are moving in a few weeks and I have not been home enough to make treats. I also am trying to not make a mess and pack up the kitchen. I have a few posts to get my creations back on here, but I plan to take some time off from baking. In 4 weeks we are having a birthday party for my son, so I should have plenty to post from that.

Pretty Dots
Sometimes it is best to keep it simple when decorating cupcakes. I have never made cupcakes myself in these little cups, but I'll have to try it.
