Page One of a New Chapter

Wedding Album First Page

The numbers are from a set of dies that I just got. 
I cut out the numbers and then had to do this page!
I was very pleased with how it turned out!

How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Taste The Ways

I love this frosting!  I made this based on a new recipe and my favorite recipe.
It's great and is my new favorite!

The cupcakes are the chocolate cake that I always make, with this new fluffy white icing.
I made them for my small group, for a birthday, and everyone seemed to enjoy them.

I was so excited when I almost accidentally discovered this frosting!  I set out to make my usual icing and this came about.  The texture, flavor and color are perfect!

Last evening I was in the Test Kitchen, and today I am working on the Creative Design side of things.

Happy Brownie To You......

Brownies in the shape of Cupcakes!
I made these for a friend's birthday.  These are the plain brownies with a touch of sea salt on top.  If I were to do this again, I think I would use large sugar crystals on top.  It was not easy to cut out the cupcakes, but they turned out well and made a fun birthday dessert.  I could only get four cupcake shaped brownies from one pan, which left lots of odd shaped brownie bites.   That is not a problem with my taste testers - the brownies taste great no matter the shape!

Today I am making a cake, not sure which kind yet.  Over the next few days I will be working on albums and cards.  I would like to test one Christmas cookie possibility by the weekend.  I am looking forward to having some time to focus on creating things!

Pink Cookies And The Three Little Girls

Pink sugar cookies were the perfect pre-concert dinner party dessert for 7 and 8 year old little girls!

The cookies are pink and then I covered them with sprinkles to make them extra fun!

A Cupcake By Any Other Name.......

Today is the unveiling of my new logo!!!

It's 6:30AM and I am making brownies.  My mother is coming to visit and has never had my brownies!
Amazing!

I would eventually like to name my desserts something other than their traditional name.  Last week as we were eating the chocolate cupcakes for dessert, I asked our 7 year old, whose face was covered in chocolate frosting, how she would describe the frosting.  First she said delicious and when I asked for another description, I got "so not disgusting"!  I don't think that one will make the menu board, but it's a thought!

Today I am off to show some scrapbook/album examples and then pick up mom at the airport.
Next week will begin the testing of the Christmas dessert recipes!
