peanut butter & jelly sweeties!
PB&J- a classic favorite...but in a cupcake!?
welcome to the world, baby!
These cookies were made for baby Jane's welcome to the world party! We were deciding on whether to just do "J" cookies for each of the favors but then decided to do baby Jane's initials, JMK. Obviously, three cute little cookies are always better than one! Jane's favorite colors are light green & light pink so we went with that color scheme and made them extra cute with polka dots and stripes. These were really fun to do and just looked so cute sitting together!
baby animal cookies!
Animals are cute but baby animals are on another level of cuteness!

pina colada sweeties!
beach sweeties!
These fun cupcakes were for a family friend of mine who's daughter was having a tricky tray event at her school! I was asked to make 225 (omg!) beach themed cupcake favors which of course I was thrilled to do! The cupcake was easy enough- just vanilla cake with a vanilla buttercream frosting but the fun part was being able to create a beachy vibe for these cute little cakes! We decided to do half water, half sand (crushed up graham crackers) topped with a cocktail umbrella. The finishing touch was a white chocolate starfish that i just couldn't get enough of- so cute! Overall the cupcakes were a hit and I was glad to get some beach work into the mix!
change is a comin'!
ok i admit it- i'm a slacker. I have been slacking all summer long with my baking treats :( partly because i have been wanting to make some changes with my logo/layout/design but since that takes time i'm going to just keep it moving! So, on that note I am going to back track a bit with some recent orders and try to keep this as current as possible! Until then, enjoy the posts and stay tuned for some new changes!

Samoa Sweeties
Those cute little girl scouts get me every year. "Would you like to order some girl scout cookies?" Of course I do!
I ended up ordering 3 boxes of cookies.. one box of the new flavor- thank you berry munch, a box of tagalongs and then of course my favorite-SAMOAS! Yum yum yum! While I was patiently waiting for my order to arrive, I ended up buying ANOTHER box of samoas from the sweet little girls selling outside of the pizza place near my house. I couldn't say no and I was SERIOUSLY craving the samoas!
But in the middle of my romance with these cookies, I thought it would be a great idea to come up with a samoa cupcake. A soft but equally delicious version of this cookie almost made me lose my marbles. I decided to make a yellow buttermilk cupcake layed with caramel, chocolate ganache, toasted coconut and then a drizzle of some more caramel. THEY. WERE. DELICIOUS.
Once all of the cupcakes and cookies were gone, I pledged to myself that I would never order all those cookies again....that is...until next year! hah :)
