Reagan's Birthday....

Reagan had a great idea the other day....she thought we could get ACE of CAKES to do her birthday cake....LOL
She wanted something extra chocolately-I wanted to use my new xlarge cupcake cookie cutter....here is what I came up with the solve the dilemma-for the school party. Cupcake shaped Brownies! Brownies dipped in chocolate, frosted, sprinkled X2 w/a M&M "cherry" on top. The spare parts were used to make tiaras, shoes, and stars. She loves them.

Drawing of the Girlies...

While looking over my blog I noticed I hadn't posted the latest drawing I did of the girlies. Well, I can't have that...here it is: And the original...

OBSESSED!

Have you seen this cake mold? It is a Martha Stewart Beehive Cake Mold from her online catalog-which is no longer in existence. I have been obsessed with having this mold for YEARS! Really. Seriously. Please if you see this mold, have this mold, or know someone who does...I would love to purchase it, or buy + draw your child's/grandchild's picture, or just borrow it to make one of these cute little cakes. Thanks guys! Kelly

Milk Chocolate Curls Cake

Here is a cake I did today for a Bridal Shower for one of my niece's friends. It is milk chocolate cake, frosting, and curls and garnished with milk chocolate and white chocolate piped whimsical flowers. I hope she likes it....BTW-her colors are brown and green.

Emme's Birthday Cake...

What a Birthday Party Emme had! Her theme was Chocolate and boy was there CHOCOLATE! I had the honor of doing her cake-Milk Chocolate with Milk Chocolate Frosting, decorated with cake "kisses" dipped in chocolate, fondant "kisses", and M&M's. One large cake "kiss" adorned the top with the banner that reads "HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMME!" She also ordered 24 additional individual cake "kisses" for this party as well. I have also attached a couple of pics of the party....IT WAS FABULOUS!

The tables weren't completely decorated when I took this pic-she later scattered assorted chocolates up the center as well as added the individual cake "kisses" to the tables. She also had lots of brown and pink balloons. Gloppy, from CandyLand, showed up again as a backdrop to the main food table. She lined the walkway from the door to the party with a (paper)M&M path. All I can say is: AWESOME! Do you think Paddi would throw me a Birthday Party?lol

Hershey "KISS" cakes

Hershey "KISS" cakes for Emme's school party. Next week I will be making a fab 3 tiered all chocolate cake for her home party with 25 more of the individual kisses for her guests to enjoy. She is having an all chocolate themed party. I cannot wait! Thanks Paddi for letting me be a part of the celebration! Check back next Saturday for pics.

YUMMY! Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, and dipped in Hershey's rich milk chocolate, wrapped in foil with a personalized tag-boxed $2.50 each with a minimum order of 15. If you would like to order any of these favorites, or have something creative in mind, give me a call! Kelly @ 931-808-5518

100th Day of School Cakes

A Kiss is NOT just a KISS.....

My newest adventure began with a request for a Hershey Kiss Cake for a friend. I then took the idea of and transformed it into individual ones for my own daughter's birthday party at school. Needless to say the kids LOVED them! Who wouldn't love cake and frosting nested inside a Hershey's chocolate shell? I posted a pic of Jordan holding one of the "cakes" so you could get an idea of the size. Take care and have a great weekend.

I'm so crafty....

I LOVE THIS!!!! One of my pregnant friends has this on her myspace and I had to add it to my blog. Enjoy!

Rachel

A girl at work asked me to do a painting for her to give as a gift to a dear friend who is expecting.

I hope she enjoys the painting...

Tip Junkie Contest

Tip Junkie is having a contest for the "word" of 2009. http://www.tipjunkie.blogspot.com/

When I first saw this on Tabetha's blog I was very intrigued at what her word was and what she had to say....her word for 2009 is "relax". I started thinking of what my "word" would be for the new year and I tossed around "enlightened," "pure," "inspire," "potential," and "vital," all beautiful words, but the one that my heart spoke was "aspire." Picking my word for 2009 and defining it for my life and sharing it with all of you is a great experience and I encourage you to find your WORD, whatever it may be, and share it with others. Thanks Tabetha.

ASPIRE....as·pir'er To have a great ambition or ultimate goal;
To have a fervent hope or aspiration: dream. Idioms: reach for the stars, set one's heart on. To strive toward a goal: aim, seek. Idioms: set one's sights on. To soar.

to be a good FRIEND....

to be the BEST at whatever you do.....

to live a full, and meaningful LIFE...

to OVERCOME....

to LIVE an imPOSSIBLE dream...
