Some Of My Recent Goodies

Things have been pretty hectic around the shop lately and I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've posted.  Below are some of the things I've made lately.  Mostly I've been baking but I've also managed to make some cupcake toppers, finish a blanket for my daughter and make some chocolate Oreo truffles that I'm still trying to get just right.

These cookies were ordered for a Mario Bros. birthday party.  Really cute "power up star."

I also did an order for a Patron bottle.  These were not quite finished but I didn't get a chance to take a completed photo.  The "corks" were mini vanilla wafers.  These were gone in a flash!

 I play Bunco with a group of ladies and September it was at my house.  I thought it would be fun to make some die cookies for dessert.  The ladies loved them and again they didn't last long.

Dice

 Our local Stater Bros. supermarket had a car wash to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  I volunteered to make these cookies for a bake sale to go along with the car wash!  Everyone loved them.  I want to add a note that Stater Bros. (located in Southern California) is a huge supporter of various charities especially those that deal with children.  Thank you Stater Bros. for all of your generous efforts!!

Lymphoma & Leukemia Ribbons

I also donated cookies for another fundraiser for a family that is very dear to one of my nieces.  The family has a 8 month old son who has been diagnosed with KAWASAKI Disease which I had never heard of until now.  This little boy has been through so much in his short time here and his parents are struggling with medical costs.  There have been various fundraisers for the family and I donated these to sell at a Community Rummage Sale for the family.  I made brownies and chocolate chip cookies and attached a tag with a little heart and they said CARSON'S CAUSE.  They were not only cute but so delicious. 

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Finally, I received an order for cupcakes for a bridal shower.  The theme of the shower was pumpkins since the bride loves, loves, loves, Halloween and the wedding is in mid-October.  I didn't want to do something cheesy or funky but wanted to keep in the theme of things.  I wanted something that incorporated the theme but was classy for a bridal shower.  These cupcakes and toppers are what I came up with.  The cupcakes are Chocolate Pumpkin and the frosting is Whipped Pumpkin.  I frosted them in a rosette pattern and topped them with gold pixie dust and sugar crystals.

I also made toppers for these cupcakes with the brides initial and the grooms initial and their last name initial in the center.  I tried to match the colors as close as possible to coordinate with the cupcakes and I also added a pumpkin image to the center initial.  I couldn't be happier with how these turned out.

Well, as you can see, it's been pretty busy around here.  Now I'm off to bake, bake, bake. 

Zombie Cake Topper

 

 

Our cousin is getting married in October and is a huge fan of the monster/Halloween stuff.  For her wedding she wanted to incorporate her love of that along with some humor and she found a cake topper on Pinterest http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/81/78/ee/8178eecf994eac99ce8260fbb8c58e10.jpg she really liked.

 

She asked if my husband could somehow try to re-create the look and this is the end result.  Thankfully she loves it and I can't wait to see how it all comes together on her wedding day.

FLAG CAKE

I made this flag cake using Lemon Cake mix.  I baked to 13x9 layers and used whipped cream topping between the layers.  I also used the whipped cream topping to frost the cake.  Once the cake was frosted and smoothed out, I used the blueberries and strawberries to decorate the top of the cake to look like a flag.  I piped the border with whipped cream.  This was so good and not too sweet but just sweet enough!

Another graduation Cookie Bouquet

Just make this cookie bouquet for my neighbors graduation. 

 

Moustache themed Baby Shower

I got an order for a diaper cake for a Moustache themed baby shower.  The customer showed me a picture of what they wanted and this is the end result.  I wasn't sure I could pull it all together but in the end, I think it looks cute.

I also did the cookies for the shower.  They wanted onesie and bootie cookies in green, blue and yellow and I decided to throw in a few moustache cookies for fun!
