March 2010 Baby Shower- Unknown Sex

The theme for this baby shower was two peas in a pod (she had twins) and the sex of the babies was unknown.

First Cake!! August 2009 Baby Shower- Girl

This was the first cake I did! The theme for this shower was animals to match the room of the baby to be! The cake sunk a little in the hour and a half drive because it was super heavy (I loaded it with strawberries and bananas lol!)

Random Cakes I've done

Here are some random cakes I've done in the past-

January Baby Shower

I was asked to do a girl baby shower cake in January. The bottom layer of the cake was yellow cake with strawberry filling. The middle layer was chocolate cake with raspberry filling and the top layer is white cake with strawberry filling.






The baby bottle, rattle and shoes are all made out of fondant

Changes coming!!

So I'm going to be changing up the way I do this blog. I wasn't happy with the results I was getting and I'm not patient enough to keep taking pic of every step of every recipe so I'm changing the blog around slightly. Instead of recipes and steps I'm going to display my cakes and cupcakes and any other creation I experiment with. There will be photos but a lot less!!

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies!

Nothing beats warm cookies with milk after dinner! I like to make this large batch of dough and cook a portion of the cookies and then freeze the rest. For freezing shape the dough into cookie shapes and put on your cookie sheet into the freezer. Once they are frozen you can put them in a zip lock bag and make a couple quickly anytime you are in the mood for cookies!

Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 packages instant vanilla pudding (or get a different flavor to slightly change up the taste!)
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups peanut butter chips (or any other type you would like)
















Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour and baking soda together
In a large bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar















Beat in the instant pudding mix until well blended















Beat in the eggs and vanilla















Slowly add flower until well blended (this will get very messy and flower will go everywhere if you try to add it all at once)















Stir in the chocolate and peanut butter chips:
















Drop cookies by spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. When edges are brown remove and let sit for a few minutes and cookies will finish cooking the rest of the way on the pan.

And then you will barely have any left!
