The Sweetest Thing

Happy Valentines Day!

2011-02-11T13:33:00.000-08:00

This week is Congenital Heart Awareness Week. The support group I belong to were able to get over 500 cupcakes from Pillsbury donated. All we needed was someone to frost them and decorate them and pass them out...that's where I came in. As of today I have frosted and decorated over 550. I have 100 more to do tomorrow and then start the orders for Valentines Day.

This is why I do it.....for little peeps like this.

And this...this could quite possibly be the worlds most perfect heart cupcake.

And it is calling your name....shhhh....can you hear it? Its begging to be devoured....

Wedding Cupcakes...Trendy, classy and fun!

I am going to work on a Jersey for your favorite team.

You just let me know what team that is.....;)

Scotch....Scottish....mmmmm

2010-05-22T14:17:00.000-07:00

Scotch....errr... Scottish cupcakes.

The Scottish bark were scotch cupcakes.

The Chocolate bark were kid friendly cupcakes.

I was told they were wonderful!

I wouldn't know, because I am not a whiskey drinking girl...

But just let me know if you need some!

Whiskey drinkin', fly fishin, kind of guy....

2010-05-02T17:21:00.000-07:00

My friend Carrie asked me to make her husband some cupcakes for his birthday. She described him as a whiskey drinkin', fly fishin', hunting, Red Sox lovin' kind of guy. I ordered Red Sox baseball picks, but when they arrived, they looked like my two year old painted them, so I went with this theme instead.

A frustrated fisherman, with all his equipment floating in the water.....

Oh, and did I mention they are Chocolate Whiskey Cupcakes?

The blue frosted ones were kid friendly, but the chocolate....they were adults only.

I have an order for Chocolate Scotch cupcakes next weekend.....anyone else?

Breast Cancer Awareness

2010-04-15T07:01:00.000-07:00

Who is racing in the Race for the Cure?

You DESERVE these.....

I know....I can't help it.

They are so cute, so sweet and chic!

Babies anyone?

2010-03-22T16:45:00.000-07:00

So darling you cannot believe they are eatible!

How cute is this little cherub?

Gumpaste babies on cupcakes....doesn't that just make you smile?

It should!

Here is one of the cupcakes from Andreas baby shower.

Adorable!

I can also make their hair different colors and lay them on a fondant blanket.

Pink or Blue....or both!

Your choice!

Sweet...sweet babies...

The presentation and reaction of these little cherub's are so worth all the work!

Have any baby showers coming up soon?

Hoppy Easter!!!

2010-03-12T08:04:00.000-08:00

OK...so these are not my cupcakes...it's just what I am working on.

As soon as my candy arrives in the mail...

I just wanted you to have a preview of what you could be taking to your family Easter party.

Little bunnies scampering down their holes... Spring flowers in the grass...

.....the e mails are already coming in....don't miss out!

An Apple A Day.....

2010-03-10T19:55:00.000-08:00

My dear friend Lori..(YO YO) has a bad back.

Today I made her some brownie pops to get her better.

An apple (POP) a day....keeps the doctor away!

My camera is on the fritz....not a great picture.

But....come on!!.....these would cheer up just about anyone!

It's time to order.......

Pay it forward........

Sesame Street Explosion

2010-03-08T13:39:00.000-08:00

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

I know....you almost NEED these brownie pops, huh?

Not just WANT....NEED them?

Don't worry....I have them here, waiting for you.

Uh huh...I know....CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!

(idea and expression courtesy of Baker Ella)

Can't forget Cookie Monster!

Or.....Cookie Monsters cookies..

And then there is the Grouch.

He was my favorite....

I made these for Elmo and Oscar to eat later.

Only.....they were eaten at the birthday party so fast I couldn't save them.

Big Bird went to the party too...but he was not my favorite and I will be perfecting him in the near future.

Normally I reserve this blog just for cupcakes that I am selling, but this party was special.

So here is a picture of my "HEART" boy.

Happy Birthday and 2nd Anniversary buddy!

Valentine Chocolates anyone?

2010-02-04T08:44:00.000-08:00

Oh yeah....they are all cake. And a little frosting...and a little sugar...you get the idea.

Oh- right...and the box? Yes, it is all cake too. Heart shaped cake with a fondant covered "box". All eatible. All delicious.

2010-01-25T12:31:00.000-08:00

To FILL or not to FILL?

Filling the cupcake adds more flavor and moistness to the cupcake itself.

Sometimes I would advise NOT to fill them, and other times I would advise chocolate or vanilla pudding, strawberry preserves, raspberry preserves, apricot, whip crème and sometimes cream cheese.

For those of you who are not a fan of frosting...this may be your thing! No need for frosting!

This usually equates to .25 cents per cupcake.

Order two dozen and only fill half!

We are CraZy like that!

TV Dinner Anyone?

2010-01-07T18:56:00.000-08:00

THE TV DINNER

How Stinkin' Cute is this?

On Tonights menu;

"Chicken on the Bone" (as my boys call it)

Mash Potatoes with butter and gravy, Peas and Carrots,Pudding for Dessert

I couldn't resist the close up of the mash potatoes and gravy (vanilla frosting with caramel sauce) I mean, really...just so much fun.

Do you know someone that needs cheering up?

I know that these little cupcakes would work...just e mail me! I'm "tech savvy" like that.

The Candy Cane

2009-12-18T13:09:00.000-08:00

The Candy Cane
Red Velvet cake with Chocolate Peppermint frosting, crumbled candy cane and a candy cane for a later! Santa loves them...

The Winter Trio

2009-12-18T13:05:00.000-08:00

Ahhhh...the Winter Trio.
Red Velvet cake with vanilla or cream cheese frosting. Filled with chocolate pudding or raspberry filling. Too good to be true!

The Snowflake

2009-12-16T22:41:00.000-08:00

The Snowflake

Yummy and CUTE! I would suggest blue frosting but you can mix and match with these as well! These are scrumptious filled with chocolate pudding....fab-u-lous!

The Peppermint

2009-12-16T22:39:00.000-08:00

The Peppermint

Delicious with all flavors, just don't forget the peppermint bark on top!

The Christmas

2009-12-16T22:37:00.001-08:00

The Christmas

This is just an idea. You can order this with any flavor cake, any flavor frosting, and any flavor filling. Pick and Choose, you cant lose!

The Red Velvet

2009-11-25T14:53:00.000-08:00

Ahhhh...Red Velvet. Classy, sexy, popular and delicious.

Red Velvet Milk Chocolate cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting garnished with candy hearts and chocolate sprinkles.

I have also made these for my aunts 60th birthday in which I frosted them with red frosting and added purple hats to the top. (For the "Red Hat Club")

The top Red Velvet I made for my heart sister. I added another smaller heart shaped cake on top of the creamy milk chocolate frosting. I can make them several different ways..we just need to discuss what you are using them for.

Red Velvet really is The Sweetest Thing.

The Raspberry...

2009-11-25T14:28:00.000-08:00

The Raspberry...

Ooooo-la-la.....

Mouth watering raspberry cake with vanilla raspberry frosting. These are filled with raspberry filling and garnished with chocolate chards and one perfect raspberry. These are delectable. They are light and filled with scrumptious fruit. I can make them with any berry flavor. If you want it, I will make it.

These are "The Sweetest Thing's"

But not "too" sweet. (Is there such a thing?)

These are great for a Thank You gift...don't you have someone to thank?

The Cookie

2009-11-25T14:19:00.000-08:00

C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me....
White cookie cake with vanilla cookie frosting- just enough- garnished with a chocolate creme filled cookie. Deelish!
I'm thinking you should order these for game night, or family night. After all, cookies and creme goes with anything!
Oh yeah, they are that good.

The Pumpkin...

2009-11-25T13:33:00.001-08:00

The pumpkin spice...AND the pumpkin chocolate chip.

The Pumpkin Spice is a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, garnished with a dash of cinnamon and mini chocolate chips.

The Pumpkin Chocolate Chip is a pumpkin chocolate chip cake with cream cheese pumpkin frosting and garnished with a dash of cinnamon and mini chocolate chips.

I must give my Grandma Ella the credit for these. She always made us pumpkin chocolate ship cookies when we were kids, and I still crave them when the first smell of Fall is in the air.

These are great for brunch, as well as dessert.

Aren't they just The SwEEteSt ThINg?

The Princess

2009-11-25T12:44:00.000-08:00

Princess cupcakes! Complete with milk chocolate cake and PiNk frosting and a pink or white tiara. I also added "jewels" to the tiara's to make them extra special.

These are cheaper by the dozen!

What are you doing for your daughters birthday party? Or your girlfriends?

Or your moms?

Mmmmmmm...aren't they just "The Sweetest Thing"?

Happy Birthday Sweetest Thing!

2009-11-10T16:18:00.000-08:00

OK...here we go.....
I am sure that some of you are tired of looking at my personal blog that I originally started for my son and his health issues, and seeing all the treats I have been making. But the joke is on you, because........I haven't posted all the treats I have made! So there. I'm just kidding. But I do love to make cute treats, and there are so many creative and fun things to make out there, its almost impossible to make them all!

Oh yeah....but I'm gonna try.....Muuuuwaaa waaa haa haa.
So here we go...I promise the photography will get better soon. I only took these pictures for my personal use, but now- I am going to share them with you.

If you would like to order any of them, you can always e mail me! I will be getting a new e mail address just for this site and I will add it soon.

Enjoy! And don't feel guilty because everything on this blog is fat free....really.
It only has calories in it if I actually make it for you and you consume it, and then it wont matter because they are so delicious and delectable, you will be glad you experienced them.

I cannot remember why I made these thank you gifts....hmmm? Good thing I gave them to whomever I was thanking! I'm sure Lori received some of them and I may have eaten the rest. The sugar cookie french fries were sooooo delectable. The brownie, cupcake hamburgers were a little "TOO" sweet, yes, there is such a thing. I will change the recipe and make them better soon. And by the way, the french fry bags can say anything you would like them to say. And the little trays can be whatever color you wish. POOF!

This week I am very excited to make some Princess "Jessica" Cakes for her 8th birthday. I already have the tiara's made and will be assembling them on Friday.
