New Beginnings Cake

Miranda volunteered "us" to create a Wedding type cake as the dessert for their Young Women's New Beginnings. So, I began searching for a fun idea to create.
I ran onto THIS post and knew it would be perfect for the occasion.
Miranda wanted it to be all white, so white it would be :)
Here is how it finally ended up. 

Pretty good if I do say so myself. I felt it was lacking a little somethin-somethin, so I quickly whipped up a topper right before leaving.
Whew... much better!

She also wanted the flowers glittered...love it!

It was a fun and fairly simple cake to make. And the best part...Miranda and I made it together :)

Heart of Gold

I was cruising around the blog-o-sphere a while back and I saw the cutest idea.
 I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it, so I promise I will post it when I remember :)

Any-whoo... I used a dollar store candle holder and spray painted it a lovely shade of red

Then I found a darling heart bowl at Target

And I glued them together with the fabulous E6000!

But it get's even better....
I filled them with gold candies...added a custom designed tag and voila!

They made the perfect little gift for friends :)
Happy Valentines Day !

Soy Sauce anyone?

Miranda was just in a play where she was a Chinese character.  So we decided it was only appropriate for her to bring Chinese food cupcakes to the cast party
Just a little Lo-mein noodles with broccoli and some fried rice :)

 I just love the broccoli...I think any kid would eat this :)

Everyone loved the cupcakes, we even had a couple kids ask if the broccoli was real he he... just our little secret

Welcome Sophia

A friend had a baby girl and I whipped up this simple 1 layer diaper cake for her.

After I took the photos, I realized I had spelled the baby's name wrong... so I quickly printed out another label :)

S'more Love

I created these little gifts for our Visiting Teachers in the ward.
We LOVE them!

These could easily be converted to a Valentine gift too...hummmm... might need to try that one too :)

A new level of fun

I found a new love....
Chocolate Transfer Sheets!
I've always like making dipped oreos, but now they have been taken to a new level!

I picked up mine from Global Sugar Art

I also ordered some for Valentines Day...I can't wait to make more!!!

Bow- Dazzling

My daughter wanted to make something homemade for each of her friends this year for Christmas.
After much debate, she decided to make hair accessories.
Here is just a few that she came up with...
Such talent :)
