The New Year

2012 huh. Crazy right?
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!

Perfect Holiday breakfast

So pinterest has taken over my life. . . Its a love hate relationship, I love the ideas on there, but hate that looking through all the pages takes up my WHOLE day ;)
So I saw an idea for cinnamon roll cupcakes and decided to create my own recipe for it and can I say they turned out delicious! I Love sweet things in the morning so I think that this would make the perfect holiday morning treat.
It may not have all the nutritious values we need but hey its yummy right?
Here are my results:

Fresh Outta the oven, and I must say the buttery cinnamon smell was amazinggggg

all frosted up with cream cheese frosting!! Ohh the goodness :)

So tomorrow I go in for my 18 wk baby check up then two weeks from that we get to find out the gender :)))) YAY
So i will be doing a fun baking project for that to announce to everyone what we are having, so be on the look out!!
I think we are having a baby boy, due to the fact that I'm as big as another little lady I work with, who is 7 months along and having a baby girl.

The beginning of the Holiday Season Has Begun. . .

Christmas music on the radio, walking into the stores and smelling cinnamon and pine cones and seeing all the beautiful happy Christmas decorations. . . This is my FAVORITE time of the year. My tummy tickles around all the excitement and hustle and bustle of the season! I hope everyone is enjoying this as much as I am.
I thought that I would share with you what I have been up to the past few weeks since I haven't talked to you in so long! I had my first big cupcake order for a breaking dawn party!! I had so much fun being in the kitchen day and night baking cupcakes and decorating them. Here are my end results:

310 Cupcakes all finished.

vanilla cupcakes with black sparklies!

Chocolate cupcakes with red swirls...

red velvet cupcakes

I was proud of my first order :) and it made it all worth it when I received compliments via text and facebook on them!!

Have a wonderful day full of lots of holiday cheer!

National Smore's Day

Well Yesterday was national smore's day :)
YUM such a great day!!
I decided to create a different treat that
still incorporated s'mores
and this is what I came up with...
S'mores cupcakes!!!

This is a dark bittersweet choc cupcake
with crushed graham cracker in the cupcake
coated with choc ganache and topped with a
whipped marshmallow meringue and garnished
with some more crushed graham crackers!!
The best part of these is that they are just
as messy oooey gooey as the real smores.
That was half the fun of watching all of my
co workers eat these :0

Well I hope you all celebrated national smores day with an ooey gooey sticky treat if you didn't Shame Shame on you. You have to take advantage of these silly little holidays that give us an excuse to eat some yummy fatty treats right???

Heaven in the form of a cupcake

My addiction to cupcakes is still continuing.
I swear I dream about cupcakes at night and
they are all I think about during the day.
So of course I whipped out the handy dandy
kitchen aid. He is my right hand man.
I love him.
I decided to go with an old fashioned favorite.
.Vanilla.
When my soon to be brother in law said throw some raspberries in.
I have to say his idea was excellent. These
cupcakes came out heavenly. :)

And I decided to put some melted chocolate in the buttercream
and it made it even more heavenly when I topped these
badboys with this frosting. . YUMMY im drooling just
thinking about it.

Don't forget me for your special days or special events. . . you can order online at the following link:

Cupcakes

It was my sweet little nephews 6th birthday this Saturday so I thought I would whip him up some cupcakes in coordinating colors to his iron man themed birthday!! (plus I have been itching to have a reason to bake up some cupcakes) I visited a local store here that just opened its doors. A cupcake shop!! I wasn't too impressed but my wheels got to turning about cupcakes after that...
Here they are, they were a hit :)

Dutch chocolatey goodness is what I like to call these!!

Well just a short post for now

ta ta ta will have more posts later!! I have a big order of scooby doo pops this week... they will be fun to show off :)
