Kandice Patrick text me and asked me to make her another one of these "notorious babies". Well, I had told Susan Grandey that when I hit my first goal with my weight that I'd make us one.....hit that mark Friday. I made one this afternoon and took Susan a few pieces. I'll let her share with you her comment. All I can say is......."It's Sinfully Delicious!"
Jeanna Cunningham's daughter Sarah will be celebrating her 5th Birthday tomorrow. She absolutely love "The Wizard of Oz"! So what better could she have than......A Yellow Brick Road Cake! This cake is Classic White with the Yellow Buttercream Icing. The Witches Hat, Broom, the Green Pool (That Old Wicked Witch Melted), and the Lolly Pops were handmade out of Rolled Fondant. Every time I look at this cake....it makes me remember the song that Judy Garland sang....."Somewhere Over The Rainbow".
Every little girl needs her own Ruby Red Slippers!!!!!
Jeanna wanted some treats for her guests along with the cake. She ordered 3 dzn. Ruby Red Slippers, 2 dzn. Pretzel Rods and......
A tray of delicious Strawberry dipped in Gourmet Chocolate!
Happy 5th Birthday Sarah!!!
Wayne Kilgore called me and asked me to make him a Strawberry Shortcake.
Mr. Kilgore was so excited when he picked it up!
Kandice Patrick texted me and asked me to her a cake like Jayme Jaco's cake for this evening. I used the same cake recipe, but.....changed the icing a little bit. I first made some fudge and drizzled it over the entire cake. Then I melted some chocolate chips and spread that through the fudge and garnished it with milk chocolate chips.
Kandice left me and Katie some sweet gifts. Thank you Kandice for my new cookie cutter and Thank you for Katie's K koozie holder. She immediately put it on her bottled water!
Tonya Rains called me yesterday and told me that she wanted to redeem her daughter's Gift Certificate. Tonya's daughter was crowned the 2009 Snow Princess.
Jayme Jaco called me yesterday and asked me to make a Double Chocolate Cake for her husband. She said that he has been home helping her since she had her shoulder surgery and that he has not left her side. She said that his favorite is Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate. So....I whipped up this little creation. It's a homemade double chocolate cake with chocolate morsels on the inside and a my favorite chocolate fudge icing drizzled all over it and to garnish it chocolate morsels sprinkled all over it.
I couldn't resist this putting it on this beautiful multi-colored tray and decorating it with a beautiful black net ribbon. When I delivered it this morning....they were all excited! I hope you and Monty enjoy it and I hope you are feeling better soon!
I got a call from my friend Jeanine Bain in Smithville asking me to make a small Baby Shower Cake for a co-worker. She said that she wanted my classic white cake with my almond buttercream icing trimmed in blue. I couldn't resist putting this darling little duckie on top of the cake. I love the colors and it is so cute....especially for a Baby Shower.
Saturday, the 21st is my "Little Prayer Warrior" Kristy Navartte's birthday. I wanted to do something special just for her! So.....I whipped up some Homemade Sugar Cookies and decided not to dip them in glaze, but to use some buttercream icing and "bling" them up a little bit with some of my red and green sugar crystals.
I think that these really turned out really cute. I know that yesterday was St. Patrick's Day, but....I love the clover leaves because it's one of the things that remind me of Spring!
Easter Eggs, Clover Leaves, Tulips, & Easter Bunnies are absolutely darling!
My wonderful friend Susan Grandey got me all of these cookies cutters as part of my birthday present (less the clover one, I bought it a little while ago, and she got me a baby buggy cutter and a baby bottle cutter too!) along with a beautiful pearl ring and an awesome tangerine basket. Susan knows how I love to bake and I was so excited to get to use them yesterday. I can't wait to make some Mickey Mouse cookies/sandwiches! She picked him up when they were in Orlando and Disney for the Nationals in the Dance Competition. I now have 3 different bunny patterns, two different butterfly patterns and am ready to take orders for Spring!
With the finishing touches added to Kristi McCormick's Mother's Surprise 60th Birthday Cake added, it is absolutely beautiful. Thanks Kristi for all of your business!
Jessica Higgins ordered my "Secret Recipe" Chicken Salad on Croissants for a Baby Shower for this weekend. There is nothing more refreshing than Homemade Chicken Salad on Croissants! Thanks Jessica!
Christy Partain asked me to make her two children's "dual" Birthday cake. She asked me to decorate it in royal blue and hot pink polka-dots. Happy Birthday Dylan & Becca!
Ruth Ann Webb asked me to make her son Joseph's Birthday cake. He loves UT Football.
Kristy McCormick asked me to make this beautiful cake for a Birthday Party for a very special Lady! It's my Classic White cake with pink buttercream icing with white Cornelle Lace on each layer, Chocolate Brown Grosgrain ribbon and that "Special Birthday Girl's Initials".
I wanted to share these pictures asap. I took about 135 pictures last night and here is a sneak peak.
Patti had asked me to make the Pretzel Rods dipped in Chocolate with the festive Multi-Colored Sprinkles on them as well as a couple of trays of Strawberries Dipped in Gourmet Chocolate.
From Cheese Trays, Veggie Trays, Zuccini Casserole, Red Beans and Rice, Chicken Tenders, & Boiled Shrimp. Everything was delicious! I do highly recommend Stones River Country Club as a perfect venue for a wedding reception or any other party. Their staff was wonderful and it is an absolutely beautiful place!
Laura Minor, Susan Grandey, and I were enjoying some wonderful conversation during dinner.
Lauren Grandey and Scott Dunham are the sweetest couple. They had a "good time" as well!
It looks like my eyes are shut, but I promise they aren't. With all of the sickness that we have been through in the past year, John and I really enjoyed getting out and enjoying the night. This is the "Hostess With The Mostest" Patti Clarke. Patti is a wonderful friend and an awesome Mother! She and Tommy are so happy that their children have married wonderful spouses! Rae and Scott are a perfect couple and Meagan and Charlie are just another perfect couple as well! Patti and Tommy have done an awesome job with Rae and Charlie. Their personalities are so happy, uplifting, and just plain down right FUN! Patti made sure that "someone danced last night!"
John and Joey are having a blast! Check out Mr. Grandey's hat!
This is a wondeful picture. Joey Grandey and his beautiful daughter Lauren are having a "Father/Daughter Dance". I caught them all hugged up and I couldn't resist. Happiness begins at home!
Meagan Clarke and Rae Boutte'.
