Valentines Day is Coming!

I know I know its only January 11th, but I get super excited for Valentines day. . .
all the beautiful pink and red colors floating about in the stores and the yummy treats and flowers that go hand and hand with Valentines day get me all smiley:)

Like many people including myself, we don't know what to get our special someone's for this holiday. Its not like Christmas where you can justify spending a couple of hundred dollars on a person. Most of us are looking for a special sweet treat to surprise our loved ones with! What better gift than a bouquet of Valentines day cake pops or a package of decadent cupcakes!!

I'm running a small special with the code: Valentines12, when ordering mention this code and you will receive 10% off any orders of $25 or more! Orders may be placed via email at kellsey.ball.08@gmail.com!

Here are some hearty valentines cake pops I did a while back!

my cupcake creation. . .

So I'm sure many people have seen the popular show Cake Boss!!
Since my fiance and I don't believe in paying an ungodly amount of $$$$ for cable, especially when every time you turn the tv on there is NOTHING on to watch anyways, we have been watching cake boss on netflix!
Being a baker I love the show, I love his creations and the drama of the show. My fiance on the other hand hates that they push the dramaticness in the show and hates that his big huge italian family is SOOOO loud and obnoxious. He also hates that they use rice crispy treats to build some of the cakes because in his eyes its not a real cake if you aren't using all elements of cake!! Its acutally hard to watch the show with him because of all his bratty comments :) But I still love him, he just doesn't appreciate the true art of dramatic television hehe!!
Well in a few of the past episodes they have made cakes filled with cannoli filling and have made cannolis for certain special occasions. Well I have never had a cannoli in my life, but boy did they look delcious. Every episode that has this creamy cannoli goodness filling cakes makes my pregnant body drool!
So tonight while I was sitting there itching to bake something and trying to come up with something different that I haven't seen before, I thought YESS thats it cannoli cupcakes!!
So here they are I started with a white chocolate cupcake, filled it with this cannoli goodness and topped it off with a creamy whippy chocolate frosting!

Yum I love the cannoli filling. its not too sweet and its light and creamy!!

Love to hear your feedback and comments!!
Tata for now, until my next baking experience:)

The New Year

I am excited to see what the New Year will bring
I will be bringing my first baby into the world,
I have many goals set that I am going to acheive
& I'm sure the year will bring along many good and bad suprises!!

As you know I am having a baby boy:)
My wonderful Fiance suprised me today,
I have been dreading painting the baby room,
so today we got our old clothes on to paint
and my fiance opened the door and it was all done!!
I was so HAPPY!!! It looks perfect, we still have to add a few
final touches and we have a couple of really cute jungle vinyls
to decorate the walls but here it is.

I haven't had much time for baking the last few days but hopefully soon, and when it happens ill be sure to post some yummy pictures!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!
