I have always loved to cook and bake. I learned how to follow a recipe from my wonderful mother, who passed away five years ago from breast cancer. Growing up I was always in the kitchen. I love to try new recipes, some work, some do not. My family is very used to trying out new things. They are also very honest in telling me whether the recipe is a keeper or toss back. I kept posting pictures of what I made on my families blog and decided to give my creations there own place. I am not a professional by any means. Baking/cooking is just something I really enjoy doing.

This is a daisy cake I made for my nieces Birthday. I will have to say that it took quite a long time to make all the flowers. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out, it being my first fondant cake.

Chocolate peanut butter cupcakes

A chocolate cupcake, topped with creamy peanut butter frosting, toffee as a garnish, with chocolate sprinkled on the top. This is a recipe I got off the food network. It was made for the show Cupcake Wars.

Popcorn Cupcakes

These are cupcakes I made for our church children's carnival. To make, cook regular cupcakes and put a layer of frosting on them(frost just before decorating or marshmallow's will not stick). Cut mini marshmallow tops with four cross snips using sissors . Place marshmallows on top of frosting. Using Wilton color mist, spray on some yellow coloring. Place cupcake in pre-made wrap and there you have it. A cute and easy way to make a boring cupcake cute.

I also made the cover for these, using a store bought wrap as a pattern. Then I printed the popcorn word strip on the computer and glued them on the wraps.
