We are hanging on...

Hello everyone!

How is the blogsphere since my last post?! 

I have tons of photos of the goodies I created in the last year since my last post I just don't seem to have the time to sit down and write my posts... Instead I have being using Facebook to post most of my pics. BUT this blog is about recipes therefore I'm posting my pics there and the future plan is to post link back to the blog with a recipe... If I can find the time.

Sneak peek alert!

The picture is of buttons for the peonies I'm making for next week's wedding cake. My first!!! I'm no longer only the designated baker for friends birthday parties and events. I'm actually getting paid now to do Something I love.

So if you want to see more of this pics LIKE ME ON FACEBOOK haha :) 

See you next time!

Reason to be MIA

Hello again bloggers!
After 3 full weeks of 60 hour work week, I realize that there must be life after death. Crooked joke...
Well, I have tons of posts (pictures and ideas) I just didn't quiet had the time to write them down.  Lot's going on as I'm working and coming home only to sleep. 
I try to squeeze some time to finish up decorating my neglected apt. But I'm almost there. I'm trying to take pictures of most of it. So soon I will have lots of "before and after" pics.
I have to say it's coming out great!

But this is a post to show what's eating Tati's grapes.
I started working for a personalized stationery company last year. It's a brand new company so there are lots of figuring it out as we go. But we have come a long way since last year.
Like, we just launched the web store and we're working on tons of cute camp stationery at this moment.
Selling like crazy!!!  
So hop on over there and take a look. a little card company
the shop

And I will be back soon with a baked good recipe!
This still a baking blog! FOR THE BAKING SAKE! (I love when I can fit the title of my blog into a post) :)))))

Have a good week.

Cupshoot.

So I was practicing my cupcakes for a girl's birthday on Friday and as always I ended up with a bunch of cakes. So I had the bright idea to call up some friends and have them drive by and get it out of my house (before it went all in my tummy)
One of those friends has a professional photographer for a husband. So he took some pics of the cupcake I gave them.

And for today's recipe:::

White chocolate buttercream on lemon cupcakes.











Ingredients:
6 oz of good white chocolate
2 sticks (one cup) of unsalted butter
2 cups of confectioners sugar
3 to 4 spoons of half and half

How to:
Melt the chocolate and let it cool
beat the sugar and butter till creamy
add melted chocolate
and add the cream spoon by spoon till you get right consistence.
You're ready to pipe!

I used lemon cake mix.
Also for filing, I made lime mouse (the same one I used on the pie last week) But this is for another post. The mini cake I'm working at right now.

I just wanted to show off the pics of the cupcake. Came out great. Thank you Betty and Jaymz!

Look forward to have more of my cakes and creations photographed by him again!

So there you have it! Working on my mini cake (to top the cupcake tower) :)))
