Can you believe Valentine's Day is almost here?! It was just Christmas!!
Well, I've been busy getting samples ready to take pictures, post and start getting orders.
Here's a couple of cookie sets I'm finished with and will be offering for this year. Remember to start placing your orders asap as I will be offering only a limited quality for each set.

These are mini cookies (2 inches each). There something for everyone. Sports for boys, Shopkins for girls, Star Wars for anyone and emojis for teens 😊

And back for another year are my Conversation boxes

just for fun 😀



I just need the Paint Your Own cookies to be photographed.

But here it is, so start placing your orders. Send me an email [email protected] or on fb or ig!!
 

Let me start by saying I loooooove Lavender! The scent is so soft and relaxing, the flavor is sweet and floral with a lemony taste and it's such a cute little purple flower.

This summer lavender is my biggest seller. Lavender cake, cupcakes and buttercream. I've had requests for lemon lavender, coconut lavender and almond lavender. (Is your mouth watering yet?)

So when I heard about a Lavender Fest, I HAD to go!

It was the 10th annual Blanco Lavender Festival and this year it landed on June 13.

I went with my family, as it was a farm we were going to tour and then go the the festival. We went to Hill Country Lavender farm. There were several people already walking the fields, enjoying the breeze.

There were two more farms that were open to the public and were ready for tours but we decided on only touring one, the sun was too hot.

There goes my little cowboy :)

It was sunny and hot but when we got to the shade, it was really enjoyable. One thing I didn't knownwas that the lavender plants grew in bushels. Little round bushes with little purple flowers peaking on top.

So the farm was lined with little balls of lavender.

They also had a little scavenger hunt for little ones to keep busy. There were also Fairy colonies, which really interested my 5 year old as he was about to lose his first tooth.

And there was also a sand box that my 2 year old just loved.

So we walked around enjoying the scenery and scents

If you look closely you'll see the fairy colony :)

After our tour we went to the farm shop. Oh, so many goodies!! There were soaps, lotions,bath salts, essential oils for headaches, lavender infused honey, lavender BBQ sauce, lavender rub, teas, lavender sugars...so many awesome products!

So I bought a lavender soda and got in our truck to go to the lavender Fest at the town square.

There were so many vendors!! I wanted to buy everything that I forgot to take pictures :(

I bought lavender buds to use in my buttercream.

Bought the lavender sugar, lavender vinegar for my sister and her boyfriend, lavender almonds

Black tea with lavender

Some wooden handmade swords and shields for my boys and some lavender plants that I'm praying will survive.

We also enjoyed festival food: BBQ sandwich and ribs for my boys and a crepe for me. To drink, lavender lemonade of course!! OMG, it was delish!!! We bought big glasses of it, yes, that delish!

I hope you will also check it out next year and have as much fun as we did. We had so much fun and hope to keep going every year.

And some more Race Car Cookies

 

This cake I totally Loooooovvvveeee!!!!! Aside from the fact that it is Chanel...it has pearls...lots of them.

It reminds me of strands of pearls little girls put on when playing dress up. Love it! And the signature quilting for the top layer just like a purse.

This cake is perfect for a super elegant birthday party with your girlfriends, hanging out, drinking wine

Or a bridal shower. More girlfriends and drinking mimosas.

Or for a wedding. This is a perfect off white,two-tiered cake. Take of the chanel logo and put the couples initials.

Everything in this cake is edible. Flower, pearls and logo.

 

I was contacted and got a request for cookies to match an invite she created.

She does super cute invites!

The invite

Super cute right? Then, she said she didn't want round cookies. Yikes! So that meant I had to hand cut the dough. So this is how I do it.

First I had to draw out the characters. Then cut it out.

I started with the trees. I used a Christmas light bulb and trimmed it a little to make the shape.

Then I did the snowmans and gloves. You noticing a trend? I'm working on the cookies that I could use a cookie cutter hehehe.

Then off to the handcut ones. I decided on the raccoon because it's too cute! The top hat and the eye glass!

Then off to the fox. His little skate!

Then lastly the deer. So sweet!

Arent they adorable?! I really loved working on these.

 

I started seeing these super cute colorful round sandwiches on Pinterest and had to see what the deal was with all these pins. Martha Stewart has lots of macaron displays and I started researching them.

Now, I've seen a lot of people and sites that confuse French Macarons with macaroons. They're not the same. They're two different things. Both are gluten free but the French macaron is more of a meringue cookie (from egg whites) and the macaroon is made of shredded coconut and condensed milk. They're done in ten minutes, while a macaron is more difficult and takes about an hour to make.

See the difference,Big difference!

I really didn't know about how a macaron was supposed to taste or look so I kept researching and found out it's supposed to be a crispy shell with a soft gooey melt-in-your-mouth center with a nutty flavor.

The French macaron, pronounced macarOHn, is made with almond flour, egg whites and sugar. A lot of people have trouble with them because if you under mix you don't get the cute ruffly bottom, known as feet, and if you over mix then they won't get the hard shell and fluffy top. I was super scared and intimidated to try them at first.

Once they're piped onto the cookie sheet, you must wait for thirty minutes for them to rest. Then you put them in the oven for 10-13 minutes. Once you see the "feet" you will do a happy dance, because you got the batter just right :)

Yay, feet!!

What's super fun about Macarons, is that you can make them in any and all colors! I've only done two batches so I've only done these two colors but I want to make more, more colors!!

Aside from the infinite possibility of colors there's also a wide range of fillings to put inside. From buttercream and meringue to ganache and jellies. There's tons of combinations to work and experiment with. The possibilities are endless! Can you tell I'm a bit obsessed :)

My first batch I went basic and added Nutella as a filling. Yum, Macarons and Nutella-Heaven!!

The second was amaretto buttercream. Oh, that one was just right, not too sweet and not bland, just delicious.

Picture
Look at those beautiful "feet"

I've been busy with cookie orders so I haven't had a chance to make some Macarons, but the first break I get I will make some mango macaron or some snickers macaron, oh yeah, I can't wait.

And just like fine wine, they taste better the longer they sit in the fridge (covered).

So if you can't go to France and taste the real deal, place your order with me ;) but if you are lucky to go to France, make sure and bring me some authentic French Macarons!

 

I got an order for a 50th Surpise Birthday Party-how fun!! I was given the super cute invite and pics of what they wanted.

This super lucky girl got not one but two birthday cakes!! One on her birthDay and the other for her party. How lucky is she!!

Her Mommy said she wanted Olivia and Peppa the Pig, Ninja Turtles, Minnie Mouse and a couple more I forgot.

The piggies were for her real birth Day just family. I made them out if gumpaste :)
And then for her big party she had Minnie :) I had been wanting to make one, so when she told me how she wanted it I got super excited. I love the round top with the ears and the bow.
It was all buttercream with fondant decorations. Bottom strawberry cake and top one was chocolate. Even the head was chocolate cake :)
Oh, and who can forget cookies!!
 
Between Easter, Spring Break, parties and last minute orders I've kind of neglected my blog. So I'm uploading my latest orders and a couple more from the past :)
This Easter/1st Birthday Cake order really got me stressing. The bunny's face. That's what had me losing sleep. I made it out of Rice Krispies but I had to get it just right, so that he had a cute expression.
And here is the cake at the party. The Mommy had such cute decorations. Look at those fluffy chicks!
