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!

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone!

So this week has been pretty uneventful in the baking department. The cookies I'm about to show you are actually the second batch I had to make, hubby ate the first ones before they were finished!!

I learned alot doing these cookies!


Also this week I got to try out my new food markers!


Its Midnight!



Yep 2010!


On another note, you will now see that I have to approve all comments, because someone anonymously was posting rude comments. Those comments  are now deleted. So when you hit comment, it will be emailed to me and then after I approve it, It will appear under the picture. Thank you for your understanding.

On a brighter note, this week we are going to have a little draw. In your comment, name something you would like to see on a cookie. A cartoon character, a scene, anything you think would look good. A design will be chosen at random, and then will be displayed on my next posting.

Please comment by Tuesday January 5, at 7:00 pm MT

I cant wait to see your suggestions!

Until next time!

Christmas Time

So this week is the beginning of Christmas Baking for me. 13 days left to bake my christmas heart out!
I don't know when I thought of this concept, but I always thougth to myself “wouldn't it be cool if you could make an all edible snow globe?, not just a cookie, free standing”. And now I finally had a chance to try it out.
Well it was definatly a learning process (which included my penguin smashing his poor eye!) But this is what I came up with!





Plus this week, I posted this picture on www.cakecentral.com (check this page out if you love baking) and it was one of the top favorited pictures of the day!




I was so excited! 43 favs and counting!


As well as all this, michaels is holding a contest for the most creative homemade gifts, so I thought I would enter the snow globes. The first prize is 2 tickets to NY to see the Martha Stewart show, and a $250 gift card to Michaels! Also every week two people will win a $100 gift card to Michaels! But I'm going to need your help on this one guys.... go to this link http://www.michaelscontest.com/uploads/2605 and rate my cookies. Easy enough right? I will also have it posted under the About Me on the right, as well as on my facebook page, so be sure to ask all your friends to vote to please!!


Well thats all for this week, but stay tuned for more Christmas goodies!
