Soon I can sell baked goods "legally" from my home!

Arizona just passed a program that will allow residents to sell home-baked good! SWEET!!! This has gotten me excited to start baking again...I really enjoyed making cupcakes, cakes, and goodies for others! Here are a few things I have recently made!

Baby shower rubber ducky theme! One cool duck....

Made of yummy fondant!
Cupcakes to match Kaya's 12th b-day cake

Kaya's fondant zebra cake...this is my 3rd cake ever!

We are finally getting settled!

Before we moved to our home we purchased we were renting...(UGH) and what could go wacky...DID! Our laptop stopped working and it took forever to get into our home. We are still getting completely settled. I also started watching my baby niece so I have been slacking on my blog...

My goal is to be back up once school is out in 2 weeks! Whoo Hoo!!! I miss it!

See you then!

Many Blessings,
Jen

Fondant Christmas Cookies

I was making sugar cookies with the kids and I decided to play with some fondant. I didn't make very many cookies this way since there was sheer frosting and sprinkle madness happening at the same time in the kitchen. I used the same cookie cutter to cut the fondant a but smaller since the cookie spreads a little while it is baking.
I then used other color fondant to decorate the cookies.
This was fun (for me) usually I make pour cookies and that also takes a long time, but they are so yummy!

These are just a few pictures to show what my little bakers in the making made.....


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Pumpkin Cupcakes for School

SHHHHH....don't tell but I was asked to make cupcakes for a classroom party!! Now a days that is a NO NO. Which in a way I understand, there are certainly some people I wouldn't want making food for my kiddo's. BUT...whew I guess I am not that person for others! We made chocolate cupcakes with butter cream frosting and marshmallow fondant pumpkins.
When they arrived in the class I guess some people still thought they were from the store. I take that as a compliment with regards to they trust them to eat them! However, mine look much better than any regular grocery store will make them! Not to mention fresh & Delicious!!!

I am so far behind on here...tomorrow is Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Halloween Baby Shower

I was asked by my sister-in-law (http://glambieandbrian.blogspot.com/) if I would make cupcakes for her baby shower which was a Girly Halloween theme. Of course I will do it....duh!!! Even though we had just drive from Washington and moved into a rental home the weekend before in AZ. I was a little nervous about how my fondant would act here in the heat. It looks like it did fine! I made a little baby blanket with her cute skull design (with a bow) blanket and made tiny feet sticking out the bottom.

On the other ones I made girly skulls and black stars.
The cupcakes are my YUMMY Seattle's minus the coffee filling. The pink frosting was SO FUN!


The momma to be was VERY happy with how they turned out! What to make next? I really need a kitchen with double ovens!

Pumpkin Cupcakes

I made these pumpkin cupcakes for my WONDERFUL friends that came over and helped me box up my house! I handmade the fondant pumpkins and added them to the tops of my FAMOUS Seattle cupcakes... if you haven't had one yet (you are missing out!)
If you are not sure what my Seattle cupcakes consist of, head back a few posts and you will drool! I mean understand!
They were a big hit with the ladies and the fondant i make is YUMMY! I feel bad for everyone (Pastor Jeff) who refuses to taste my fondant because he has had the NASTY store fondant that is disgusting!

I need to get some "orders" once we get a home that has a kitchen that I want to bake in...I CANT wait to come up with some FUN cupcakes soon!

I am thinking Cardinals if they can ever win a game this season.

Practice with fondant

My sister in law asked if I would make cupcakes for her baby shower which had a girly Halloween twist. So while I was waiting for my house to sell in WA I practiced my ideas.I am AMAZED with how the baby feet turned out! So CUTE...yes "back to sleep" is out the window here!
This is a CUTE skull with a pink bow, she is cute and just what I was hoping for!

This photo was the best shot of the skull and crossbones so OF COURSE it wont turn straight! This is my typical life!!!
