I moved!!!

Sorry for the delay in posts. I have been so terrible lately, but hopefully that can stop now. I got a great new job and have recently moved to Birmingham.
I promise to do my best to post more!


For now I'll just leave you with a picture of Gus. He was upset he hasn"t had more face time on the blog. I told him if he would pitch in a little more and actually bake something then we could talk...





Happy Thursday!

First birthdays are the best!

This cutie pie smashed his "smash cake" to bits, leaving only half the cake left!
His mommy said he loves chocolate, so that's exactly what what he got. I had a great time making these cakes, and I hope Jaxon's family enjoyed them as much as he did!
Happy 1st Birthday Jaxon!

Lime Melt-aways

Good morning!
I have a light, yet tart & super sweet recipe for you to try out!
This cookies are very easy and something different to take to that party, shower or potluck. Please feel free to leave comments or email me with any questions :)

Lime Meltaways

3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup of powered sugar
zest of 3 limes
3 Tablespoons lime juice (fresh squeezed from the 3 limes above)
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Then add juice, zest and extract,
2. Sift dry ingredients together and then add to butter mixture.
3. Divide dough in two. Roll each piece of dough into logs just over about a inch in diameter.
4. Refrigerate dough until firm about 1 hour.
5. Slice cookie dough about 1/4 inch thick and place on a cookie sheet.
6. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 12 minutes just until barely golden brown.
7. Let cookies cool about 5 to 10 minutes and then gently completely cover each cookie with powdered sugar.
8. Enjoy!!!!

One can never have too many cake stands...

Hello all!
And by all I mean my 10 or 11 faithful readers..jk!
I know I always start out saying how busy I am, but really....I AM! I have so many orders coming in at work that I am super tired to blog about my orders coming in off my blog! I am getting some super super sweet clients here lately and I am so thankful for all of my referrals!
This post is mainly to dream out loud...not too many people know about my beginning collection of cake plates and stands, but I am determined to collect at least a few a year in order to get as many colors! patterns! (and hopefully vintage)style cake stands as I can. Right now the collection is very slim (so slim it is almost not worth posting what I currently have. However! I do enjoy browsing for ones I long to display in my china buffet. I couldn't resist posting a few I am currently drooling over...maybe I can throw these out as a birthday gift idea(hint hint).
If anybody has some beautiful cake stands in their collection, please feel free to send a pic! I would love to see them!

Just another day's work...

Happy Wednesday! Posting a couple of cakes ordered for today...fudge chocolate fudge cake and carrot cake. Can't go wrong with either of these!
