I'm Baaaaaaaaack!

Hello everyone!

Long time no see! Well I had a wonderful trip, and visited lots and lots of family. Although I didnt bake alot, I do have a couple pictures for you!

First! Here is a cookie bouquet I made just before I left! Also, although there are 5 cookies in the picture, my little cookie monster ate one!!!


Its made with blue and yellow glace icing. With blue sugar around the edges!



Now here is a first! I made HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOWS! And piped them into an icecream cone!

Would you like to see how they turned out??

Hard to tell if they are real icecream or not, eh???

Also, I should mention my one fail over my trip tho. I tried to make sponge candy. And although I watched it carefully, it went 3 degrees over, and BURNT!
I still poured it out, and it still sponged up. But goodness! The smell of burnt sugar is not pleasant I tell you!


So now, is the count down to opening day at the farmers market. Lots to do, but I am very excited!

I'm off now to go do some prep work for the market (april 17th). It feels great to post again! 

Until next time!

Busy as a Bee!

What a busy week it has been!

I have been testing out cake truffle flavours for the farmers market. about 150 truffles made to give out!

I have also been trying to get my ducks in a row for the farmers market, which is soon approching!

I sadly do not have any pictures for you today. Have you ever heard of the cookie monster? Well I haev a cookie monster running around my house, who, when my back is turned, steals cookies from the counter. I had a awesome set all ready for you guys, and when I went to take my picture... there was 1 single bite out of each cookie!!! What a gremlin!!

Although I have no picture for you, I will give you a sneak peak of my truffle flavours before they are out!

Vanilla
Brownie
Carrot
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Chocolate Mint
Peanut Butter Cup
Cheese Cake
and last but not least Cinnamon Bun!

All the testing is finally paying off!

This week coming up, I will be testing my candy recipes and some other treats. So we will be taking a short break from decorated cookies. But I hope you still enjoy what is to come!

Until next time!
