April Fool's Dinner

My kids LOVE April Fool's Day. This year, with the holiday falling on a Sunday, it was easier to "get 'em"!  They didn't realize it was April yet. I found the perfect joke to play on them by searching the internet. My kids would never eat chicken that they could see bones in it, thus a bucket of KFC fried chicken (rice crispy cereal treats with bran flakes & pretzel rod bones). We also had corn on the cob (Twinkies) & baked beans (sugar babies). These baked beans received lots of laughs about not causing gas. My reply....."they make cause cavities instead!" Enjoy.

Anniversary with a little "Bling"

If you don't wear the "bling" on your finger, where should it be? Why, on the cake, of course!!! My parents celebrated their anniversary with this "blingy" 3 tier cake. Flavors of the layers were Cinnamon Roll, Strawberry Swirl and Chocolate Chip.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Oh what a "lucky" day my kids had! We had tons of green goodies. There were cupcakes, cake truffles, rainbow sugar cookies, Lucky Charms, Grasshopper cake, chocolate covered oreos, green snowballs & beer (Root Beer, of course)!!! So what are you to do with kids after a sugar high....lots of playing outside!!!!

Margarita anyone?

This cake was for a margarita lover. The surprise party was for a gal turning 40 who also loves Jimmy Buffet. What could be more fitting? Top tier is red velvet & the bottom tier is Devilish Chocolate.

Take it to the Hoop!

In celebration of our last basketball game of the season, I had to make these.

I love the backboard and hoop cookies. The basketballs are even textured. (Thanks to Callye for the idea!)

Ladybug cookies (revisited)

There's always someone that has to be different! One family member has a favorite icing.....it's called a glaze. For that reason, I had to make more ladybug cookies for Valentine's Day, but with a different icing. They're not decorated quite the same either!

Valentine Heart Cookies (in disguise!)

One of my children absolutely loves dinosaurs, so these were a hit!

.... another likes ladybugs.

....and another loves music!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY everyone!!!
