Anniversary Cookies!

I've been working today on baking wedding cake shaped anniversary cookies. I baked shortbread cookies using this recipe:

They taste delicious! I will post the royal icing finishing touches I am adding tomorrow. I believe creative cookies are the new cake pop and cupcake.

Feeling the Tropics With Conconut Water

Try some fresh coconut water to refresh your thirst this summer. It's quite healthy and completely natural. Simply get a young coconut, chop off the tip and stick in a straw. Maybe add a little Malibu Rum for a kick.

The Gift of Brownies

Try cutting your brownies with a circle cookie cutter. They make for a clean and simply beautiful presentation.

Make Room For the Party Food!

For the perfect party you must have yummy food. Try mixing Philadelphia Milk Chocolate Cream Cheese with a tub of Cool Whip for a creamy fruit dip. A beautiful fruit presentation will make it disappear even faster. Caprese skewers are refreshing on a hot party day. Heavenly scented roses with fresh mint create a spectacular yet simple backdrop to a day everyone will enjoy.

Elegant Birthday Cake

A cake once again inspired by the pastry chefs at Whole Foods. I melted chocolate on a wax paper covered cookie sheet to create the flat chocolate pieces to create the "crust."

Yes, TASTYKAKE is Here!

I never thought I'd say this but THANK YOU WALMART! They are now carrying the yummy snack cakes by TASTYKAKE. They were out of my favorite, the peanut butter Kandy Kake but they had many others. I may have to stalk Walmart until they get in more of the peanut butter yummy delight.
