HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving Day!!

I am Thankful for...

What am I thankful for?

I am so blessed to have a wonderful supportive family. My children are the loves of my life! Without them I would not be the person I am today! They allow me to shine my best! They are my world and I adore them! My husband is the love of my life. He helps to make this family a whole. He supports me in everything I do! ( and I do a lot) I could not ask for a better friend or lover. When I sit and think of how fate allowed us to be together it makes me cry with happiness.

But most of all I am thankful for my Mom and Dad. They are the reason I am a loving and wonderful Mother and Wife. They taught me everything I know. I adore them with all my heart and soul! They are kind, supportive, and so giving!

They are there when I need them and always come through for me.

They know how much I love them!!

Subway Art

I love Subway Art. It's my new find! I print them out for all my events. They make a great art display for your tables. I allow my clients to keep their framed picture. It's a nice gift and they have a piece of the party to remember. A lot of my clients ask me to print them as gifts for special occasions. It makes a great gift.

This piece I found on www.eighteen25.blogspot.com. Her work is amazing. For Thanksgiving she is allowing you to print it for free. Go and check her work out!

S'more Cookies

When I saw these S'more Cookies who could not help myself and start making tons of them. They are so easy to create. and taste so good. I put them on a platter covered with chocolate and brought them to my friends house so we can sit and all eat them. I must admit you can't just have one. They are nice and small and easy to eat. We put them in the microwave for 8 seconds to get it nice and warm and melt the marshmallows a little. We all were in S'more heaven!!

More Apples

You know how I adore Carmel Apples. They are one of my favorite things to create for the fall season. I love just dipping the apples and making all these great creations. I saw these on another site and fell in love with the idea of making Carmel Acorns. So far have about 20 made. They are selling for Thanksgiving. They look great on the Thanksgiving tables

Brandey's Baby Shower Part 2

Here is a look at Brandey. She looks so pretty. Brandey is having a boy. She is glowing!! I love doing candy and dessert buffets. Because it was fall it allowed me to make my favorite Carmel apples and my S'mores apples/ Everyone loved them. The table looked great. It was a pleasure to do!!

Brandey's Baby Shower Part 1

What a great theme for a baby shower. The Fall theme. Everyone knows I love fall, and this one was so easy to put together. I love the colors that Brandey picked. Browns, yellows, orange and peach. Everything really came together very well. Here are a few pictures of the Cnady Buffet and the cute little pumpkins that were used as a vase for the centerpieces.

Happy Halloween..

Just wanted to wish everyone a great Trick or Treat. Don't eat all the candy!!

Happy Halloween!!

Mini Donuts

What can I say I love my mini donut machine. They come out perfect each time. They are so much fun to make. And so easy to eat a million of them. I had so much fun decorating them. I made them for the Carnival at school and sold out right away. I did not think they would go that fast. I had people wanting more. Now I know I need to make a lot of them. They come wrapped in a pretty bag with a bow. They make such a nice little gift when you want to say thank you. Here is a look at my Halloween Donuts. Aren't they cute?

Cookies.....

So in case you don't know yet. My Dream Party is getting ready to launch a new part of our business called "Sweet Servings." I am getting so excited about it. We will be doing Candy and Dessert Buffets. It's so much fun baking and creating themes for clients for their events. I feel that this is what I was meant to do. I just can't believe how this has taken off! A client had ordered 100 of my fondant cookies for a party. They came out so good, and I heard they tasted so sweet! It's a lot of work but so worth it. Thank you Andrea for having faith in me and ordering 100. It's you who kick started my business!

Apple Pie In A Jar

I just love this, and so does all my customers. It's my apple pie in a jar. All baked sealed and delivered. All decorated with special tags to say thank you, Have a Happy Day, Happy Thanksgiving and more. They make great teacher gifts for the holidays too. These can be shipped in the U.S., with our special gift tags and cards. Our Apple in a Jar stays fresh in the fridge for 30 days. All you have to do is warm it up and have yourself some warm apple pie, a scoop of ice cream and a tall glass of milk.

Pumpkin Apples

So I am on a roll with my Apple's.. Now I am trying to be creative with them. These are dipped in Orange chocolate topped with sprinkles. They were a big hit another sell out. I never knew how popular Candy Apples are this time of the year.

I can't wait to come up with an idea for Valentines Day..

Smor'e Apples

I had to try to make them and they ended up being such a big hit. My Smore Apples on a stick.

They came out so good. The hardest part is rolling the apples in the Graham Crackers and getting the thickness just right. I am having so much fun baking and trying new things. It's great to get such positive feedback from everyone. This week I sold 45 Smore Apples. Thank you to all. If you are wanting to order please email me. There is still time!!

Homecoming

My weekend was none stop. From working all week at school, and on the go since it was homecoming. Taking the kids to doctor appointments. Baking for a carnival at school for Friday night along with the school football game, and to finish it off getting my daughter ready to look her best for the homecoming dance Saturday night. I am in the need of rest! But I must say as I sit here and think about it all. I would not have traded one second. To see how my daughter has grown into a beautiful young lady makes my heart melt! Time goes by too fast. Can I hit the rewind button?

Here is a picture of my daughter getting ready to leave the house for her 10th grade homecoming dance...

S'Mores Pops

Got to love them and everyone does. S'more Pops. I have got so many orders for them this month that I dream about them every night. Everyone is in love with them. I heard they taste GREAT. No can you believe I have not had one. I promised myself I would not eat any sweets until after New Years.. I hope I can do it, cause everyone is talking about these

Haunted Forest Centerpieces

Hi everyone, I wanted to share this GREAT idea with you. I saw this from Parents magazine and just about fell on the floor. I love this. How smart. It takes a little time to do this. but just think of what everyone will say when they see this. It makes a great table setting. I think I am going to have to try this one for sure~~

Witch Hat Cookies

These cookies are the easiest cookies to make. They come out so cute. Great for the kids in my class to make. I think I made about 30 of them so far. Once you get going with them you cant stop! Fill the in a box or a pumpkin pail wrap up with cello and it makes such a cute gift.

All you need is:

Keebler Fudge Stripe Cookies. Turn them upside down

Orange tube icing, and attached your Hershey kiss to it. That is it!

You have created a great little cookie.

How fun! The kids will love them.

Boo-Nilla Shakes

Today I found these cute little Boo-Nilla Shakes on Martha Stewart's website. Aren't these so cute. I found these little glasses at Pier One Imports. They are becoming such a hot trend right now. Great to add desserts and display it. I am using mine for Thanksgiving. These shakes are simple. Just follow this recipe.

1- cup of whole milk

2- pints of vanilla ice cream

1- cup of heavy cream

1 table spoon of confectioner sugar

Mix it all up in the blender and poor into your glass.

Make the faces with melted chocolate and paint it inside the glass before you pour.

~FALL~

I LOVE fall. I love that it gets darker early, Love that the weather is cooler. I love to decorate in the great harvest colors, so I get out my pumpkins, my harvest yard signs and get it all ready for the season. Best of all I love the way my house smells with the candles burning all the time. My house smells like someone is baking all the time. So I decided this year to post some of my favorite blogs out there and what great Fall ideas they have. I will be trying some myself.

The first blog is The Cupcake Blog. They always have great ideas for all holidays, but this one I could not pass up and share. How cute is this? All this takes is on cupcake liner. It's simple and fast and dresses up a cupcake without you having to get so detailed. You can even do this for birthday parties too.
I would love to see if anyone else can come up with any ideas using cupcake liners. Email me your ideas and I will love to post it on my blog. You might get to win a little prize too!

Happy Anniversary

Today is my anniversary. My husband and I have been married for 17 years. Gosh time has just flew by. I am so grateful that I have Roger in my life. He is an amazing father, husband, and friend. He supports everything I do. He is there to pick me up when I am feeling down, to help with the kids, and when anyone needs him he is the first to help. Some people might not know but I have known Roger since I was 13 years old.

In my diary it says I am going to marry him when I grow up.

Who says dreams don't come true?

To the love of my life....Happy Anniversary.

French Macarons

The other night I was watching my new favorite show Dessert First. I was glued to the TV on how easy she makes it seem. She was making French Macaroons. I have seen these cute little cookie filled desserts all over and wanted to try it myself. They came out perfect! I boxed them up in a cake box and took them to my parents house for dinner. They all thought they were purchased at a bakery. Everyone loved them. You must try it!

Tifany Bridal Shower

A few weeks ago I did a bridal shower for such a nice couple!. Her theme was Tiffany.

I now will tell all my clients to go for the chair covers. It completes a party! Let me know what you think!

Blogging

I need to attend one of those blog camps. Take notes and then be ready to tackle this. I have so much to share with everyone. My goal this week is to blog! To show off just some of my work, fun ideas, recipes and more with my readers. To kick it off I am having this amazing giveaway starting right now and will run until October 7th.

Hi Everyone,

So Sorry I have not been updating my blog, but life has me so busy. I have been so busy with parties, and adding cupcakes and balloon deliveries to my business. I am also starting to plan my daughters sweet sixteen. Which is not until March. I know it's early but I want to make sure everything is so perfect. The room is booked, DJ is booked, and now it's dress hunting time.

I wanted to share with you the Princess & Knight Royal Tea Party I did. It came out so pretty. There were 25 kids Boys and girls. It was a hit!

Enjoy the pictures!!
