Baking is so much fun

It's been a while since I last posted in here. I haven't been baking much this year since I've been busy with work and school. So here are some of my baked creations that I have made since I last posted in here.

Sugar cookie pops for a Willie Wonka theme at work for Halloween. It was my first time making cookie pops and I had a lot of fun. Very simple to do except when I was trying to make the icing colors real bright and dark. I had to use a lot of icing color gel, especially to make red. But it was a huge success!

I made these adorable football themed cupcakes for my co-worker's son's birthday bash. They were chocolate chip flavored and a big hit. It was tedious piping the green grass but it was worth it. The footballs were made out of chocolate from a football mold.



I made these orange marmalade cupcakes for fun oneday. I got the recipe off of Martha Stewart's website. I made a cocoa flavored, cream cheese frosting with a hint of almond extract and added the almonds on top. They were delicious!

Vanilla poinsetta cupcakes made with buttercream frosting. Made these for a co-worker's christmas party. I also made some red velvet cake pops for him. They were simple pops covered in white chocolate and I piped green and red colored chocolate all over.

I made these fudge brownie, mint chip cake pops for a christmas party at work. Everyone loved them!

First Post

Greetings! I am so excited to start this blog and give everyone a peek into my world as I bake and make yummy treats. I just started baking this year and learning a lot. I took a cake decorating class at the local Michael's Craft store and got hooked. I've been making cupcakes, cake pops and two-layered cakes with buttercream icing. It's been so much fun and a lot of patience, especially with the cake pops. I am looking forward to trying new recipes and new decorating techniques. I sure hope you join me in my journey!


Here are a few pictures of my creations...
