HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I saw these adorable "Ball Drop" cupcakes on http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.blogspot.com/ and thought they were sooooo flippin' original and creative that I could NOT resist giving them a try!!!

I had my favorite baking friend come over and heres how they look!!!

Happy New Year to everyone! 

My wish is that 2011 is an amazing year for all!!

Need a quickie last minute gift idea??

Don't we ALL have that one person (or 5 haha) on our list that we just DON'T know what to buy and really....don't want to spend a lot of money for??!!  

I have the perfect idea!! Why not purchase some of these cute little cupcake ornaments?!  Its a gift that can be enjoyed year after year and c'mon...who doesn't love a cupcake? 

I only have 7 left and am selling them for $3.00 individually, $5.00 for two or $9.00 for a set of 4!

They fit perfectly into those cute little Chinese to-go-boxes from Michael's Craft Store (they're only a buck!)

Here's a few pics of the yummy treats that are hand crafted by yours truly!!

 These are "mini" cupcakes...not full/standard size.

Thanks for checking out the blog and

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Rum and Eggnog Cupcakes!!

These aren't the kind you drink, but the kind you devour!

Rum and Eggnog cupcakes baked to perfection, lightly brushed with rum butter, frosted with a creamy eggnog frosting and lightly dusted with cinnamon! YOWZA!

So let me just be honest...I am not a fan of eggnog at ALL, but after several requests and inquiries I decided to get a recipe together...and viola...here they are!

My house was filled with the amazing smells of nutmeg and rum and I WAS kind of interested in giving them a taste...so I did!  I have to admit, they were very good but very dense and rich!  I made them into minis and not only did they cook better, but they were just the perfect amount!

 I was asked to donate my cupcakes to the teachers of our local middle school for their holiday goodie baskets!! I hope they enjoy!!! We LOVE our teachers!!!!



Women's Christmas Dessert!

I had the privlidge of providing cupcakes for this amazing event at our local church!  There were so many goodies and it was a great time with friends!!
Thought I'd share a few photos!

Scrumptious Snickerdoodle Cupcakes!!

These are awesome!!

 If you love Snickerdoodle cookies, you will love these cupcakes just as much (maybe more! )

This is a classic Snickerdoodle cake topped with a cinnamon kissed cream cheese frosting with a dusting of a cinnamon and sugar blend on top! 

Ready....Set....YUMMM!

These are simple, delicious and comforting!! 

One of these little gems paired with a cup of hot coco

while sitting by the fire sounds like the ultimate combination!
