My Favorite Gift of 2011!

2012-01-03T18:51:00.003-05:00

The BEST gift ever for the baker! A friend of mine got these for me this year... Are they not the BEST?! Love them! I admit, I do love personalized stuff, but how great are theses spatulas?

X-MAS 2011 RECAP!

2011-12-25T11:48:00.004-05:00

Below are some picutures of the final products for X-mas 2011. String of lights.... still my fave! I have to say it.... love the custom holiday tags from beecustom.blogspot.com. I really think the small additions pull it all together at the very end! Believe it or not....I already have x-mas 2012 ideas... Here's your clue.... Fa La La La La La La La La! Merry Christmas!

Holiday Event!

2011-12-02T20:39:00.004-05:00

Mason & Madison (http://www.masonandmadison.com/) just hosted a really fun event at their store in Middleton, MA. The theme was old Hollywood glam/Marilyn Monroe. There are some really cute pictures of M&M on facebook, definitely check it out... I made some "X" & "O" cookies and some YUMMY red velvet cupcakes.

2011 X-MAS COOKIES!!!

2011-11-23T10:41:00.005-05:00

Finally! Here they are.... I am taking a limited number of orders for the 2011 cookies. Please contact me if you are interested. GUESS WHAT?!!? The string of lights cookie set is my new favorite! I stacked them neatly in a box with a "pull here" tag - ADORABLE! Great hostess gift and you can use them as a runner down the center of your dessert table. Also, I have a larger version of the light and wouldn't that be cute to use at each place setting as a seating assignment!

$2.50 per cookie

$3.50 - $4.00
I really like the personalized one, but my kids didn't! It's kind of difficult to see in this photo, but the white snowflake has a "D" in the center. Again..... another great host/hostess gift.

LOVE the traditional wreath. I'm not usually traditional, but for some reason I really love this... must be the glittered center on the bow.
$4.00

These are more my speed!! Love the funky wreaths and love the color combo. Not traditional, but really fun.
$3.75

I wonder what's inside this nicely wrapped gift box (you guessed it - calories!) Is there a better gift people, is there? AND they are worth every single calorie, love the taste of these vanilla sugar cookies and a nice cup of hot tea.
$3.50 - $4.00 (small & large)

T A X I!

2011-11-23T10:39:00.003-05:00

I just love this one!! I think it would be adorable with a small fondant x-mas on top... too cute!

Final Boarding Call!

New favorite! Enjoy!

1st Fall Festival with the Ternullo Real Estate Team!

2011-11-09T11:47:00.005-05:00

I recently attended the 1st Fall Festival hosted by the Ternullo Real Estate Team at Ipswich River Park. I was there with my cupcakes... chocolate & pumpkin with yummy buttercream! It was a great event for the entire family! My kids enjoyed decorating pumpkins! And, yes, the RE/MAX hot air balloon was there and offering rides! Maybe this will be an annual event (hint hint)... check out their websites for updates (and more photos)! www.ternullorealestate.com

Maine themed cookies for a wedding!

2011-09-15T10:22:00.007-04:00

I just finished these cookies for a dessert table for a Maine wedding. The wedding colors were navy & coral (great color combo). The print on the base of the boat and the print on the backing if the initial cookie had a quatrefoil print, which played a big role in this wedding... If (I mean when) I get a picture of the complete dessert table, I will happily share with you. I can tell you that this bride took "small detail" to the NEXT level!

CRAVE Boston Event

2011-08-26T14:53:00.006-04:00

I had the pleasure of attending a CRAVE event. Crave (Boston edition) is a guide to connect you/me to people you/me NEED to know!! I did flip through the entire book - good stuff!

AND of course, I made some themed cookies for the attendees (Crave's logo)... Enjoy!

Minnie Mouse Birthday (2 of 2)

2011-08-14T19:14:00.023-04:00

THE dessert table!!

I just loved how everything looked once it was displayed in front of the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner. It was important to Nadia (and me) to keep everything red, white, yellow & black. I made the cake (I filled the cake with "red" buttercream - you know how I love small details), Minnie, Mickey & bow cookies (and thanks to ecrandal.com for making me 3 custom bow cutters; they really made a huge difference), cupcakes with fondant Minnie toppers & red/white polkadot wrappers, red velvet whoopie pies (delish!), smores truffles, buttercream cups, cake pops, strawberry shortbread squares. Nadia added some fun items for the kids... custom M&M's, red & white swirl pops and yellow twister pops. JUST PERFECT!

Have a "magical" day!

Minnie Mouse Birthday (1 of 2)

2011-08-14T19:05:00.022-04:00

I just completed a dessert table for a client that I have worked with in the past....

She's not your average client - a little over the top (when it comes to birthday parties) to say the least (she reminds me of someone - not mentioning ANY names!)

Anyway, Nadia was planning her daughter's 2nd birthday party and just like my parties; it all starts with the invite. Nicole at beecustom.blogspot.com designed a really unique invite.... I know there are a ton of Minnie invites out there, but this one was just different and I loved that the bow was glittered. This is what makes this invite stand out from the rest!

I knew the bow was going to have a big part when designing the dessert table, so was super excited when I saw the invite. I will post the desserts in the next post, but did want to share with you the favor bags Nadia made, which were really cute and worked perfectly with the theme. I inclued a picture of the birthday girl and her family (and YES, Mickey & Minnie made an appearance & the birthday girl's dress did match the party)!

Bridal Shower Cookies

2011-08-10T10:52:00.008-04:00

Custom bridal shower cookies ("R" "P" mini heart cookie and "thank you" tag).

SNEAKER THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY!

2011-07-28T11:22:00.009-04:00

"MY GIRL" just turned 7! Now that she is 7, she knows EXACTLY what she wants when it comes to designing her birthday party! She wanted a sneaker themed party at Chuck E Cheese's and the sneaker HAD to be green & blue . My first call was to Nicole at Bee Custom Design (http://www.beecustom.blogspot.com/). I gave her the details and she suggested a mouse & cheese theme, which I LOVED, but the 7 year old, not so much! Anyway, below is the invite, which was AWESOME! Nicole, somehow, was able to make it perfect! Also, I loved that she designed a "converse" sneaker; so stylish! Once I got the proof of the invite, I contacted Ecrandal Copper Cookie Cutters (http://www.ecrandal.com/); I needed a converse and knew from past searches on the web that a converse did not exsist! Well, they did it and it was PERFECT. The cookies would not have been complete without the "thank you" tie on that Bee Custom designed. I love those tie ons; they complete the package and tie the theme together every time!

Next, the cake/cupcake mission. I wanted to make cupcakes for all, but Madison wanted a cake. We decided to have a small cake for Madison and then we would serve cupcakes to all the guests (cupcakes are the way to go people, especially when you have kids involved... no cutting and you can pick them up with your hands; HUGE FAN!) Now, how do I keep this theme going? I wanted to incorporate the entire invite, not just the sneaker. I decorated the cupcakes with blue & green frosting and then topped with a fondant "M" or "7" (just like the balloons on the invite). Well, I couldn't stop there... The cake: I then decided to use "RUN," "JUMP" & "PLAY" on the sides of the cake and then topped with a fondant 7 & sneaker! PERFECT! I loved how the sneaker theme was present, but all the elements of the invite were there as well!

Me & MY GIRL!

Baby Gift!

2011-07-28T11:09:00.012-04:00

I needed a baby gift and knew that the mom loved owls. I purchased an owl hooded towel, but this gift needed more... I had to "Paige Reese" it. I made owl cookies to match the towel, but felt it needed a little pizzazz! I decided to make some "E" cookies to add a little personalization and the bottles to keep it babyish. Hello- adorable!

Stella & Dot Jewelry Party!

2011-07-28T10:22:00.015-04:00

I was asked to make some cupcakes for a Stella & Dot jewelry party. If you go to their site (http://www.stelladot.com/sites/briannelee) you can see the ADORABLE earrings I got - they are the golds ones on the home page! Anyway, the hostess of the party sent me a link with their packaging and logo color scheme (turquoise, orange & green) for some inspiration for the cupcakes.

First, I wanted to get the cupcakes made so I could focus on the design; seeing it's as important as the taste (it is to me!). I made chocolate cupcakes topped with peanut butter frosting and white chocolate cupcakes topped with vanilla bean buttercream. I got the recipe for the white chocolate cupcakes from The Garden of Yum's blog. This is her site, definitely check it out. (http://thegardenofyum.blogspot.com/search/label/cupcakes). These are delicious! I love white chocolate; probably my favorite food (that's considered food, right!)

Now... for the design... I wanted to incorporate the colors as well as the design on their packaging. I decided to cut out some fondant shapes that compliment Stella & Dot's look. AND THEN I had the idea to do one of the cupcakes with the company name "Stella & Dot." I loved the finished product, see below.

Personalized Cookies for Girls Night Out!

2011-07-11T13:18:00.006-04:00

I know... I say it every single time, but I LOVE THESE! Just finished these up for a Girls Night Out (I love those too!) Perfect colors for the summer season. I think these would make a great favor for a bridal shower. Enjoy!

1st Birthday Party Cookies!

2011-07-11T11:47:00.008-04:00

I love these! This was for a birthday party that did not have a specific theme. The invite was light pink with hot pink dots and the mom of Miss Sofia wanted to incorporate a flower. I wanted to make these really cute, but elegant and simple (yes, for a one year old's first birthday!) as well. I went with a light pink background (like the invite) with a raised dot (to incorporate the dots on the invite) and then topped with hot pink "1" and "S" for the birthday girl's intial & age. Lastly, tied with pink polk a dot ribbon & tulle! Happy Birthday SOFIA!

Baby Shower for TWINS!

2011-06-24T10:54:00.011-04:00

First off... what is not to LOVE about a hot pink & turquoise themed baby shower! Love these colors! I was working with the Grandma to-be on this project and boy (and girl) was she EXCITED! She decided on a mixture of hot pink & turquoise rattles & bottles with a hint of mango (love mango!) I knew she liked vintage (me too) so I was quite happy with the final design. I absolutely LOVE the "thank you" tags! They complimented the cookies perfectly!

Rehearsal Dinner!

2011-06-24T10:42:00.007-04:00

I loved this idea! I just had a request for favors for a rehearsal dinner. The client wanted a wedding dress cookie for the bride, a tux for the groom and groomsmen (groomsmen got blue flowers vs white), strapless dress for the bridesmaids, a little dress for the flower girl, a dinosaur (blue, of course!) for the ring bearer (I didn't have enough room for that photo), and for the rest of the guests... wedding cakes & initials! Very cute!

Graduation Party!

2011-06-24T10:33:00.006-04:00

2011-06-14T11:19:00.009-04:00

So here it is... My Donnie Wahlberg inspired cookie! I think it's SO very appropiate! As I was making them, I could not stop at just one.. I made two others; not DW inspired, but still very cute. Enjoy!

Welcome to BOSTON!

2011-06-14T11:10:00.006-04:00

I made these beautiful swans for a "welcome bag" for a wedding... Thought this cookie was a great idea (not mine, lol!) for a Boston Wedding, which was taking place not too far fom the Swan Boats.

NICE HAND!

These were for a 50th Wedding Anniversary... I 100% love the way the cake came out... So pretty. I also made some 50th cookies...They had different patterns in the backgroud (dots, floral and MY FAVORITE quatrefoil). This client was a lot of fun to work with... she definitely got very involved and took it to the next level; love that! Enjoy!

2011-06-06T19:45:00.006-04:00

Are these THE cutest? These cookies and lollipops were for an owl themed birthday party. The mom was using the cookies for the favors, but wanted something else for the kids to have....I made up some coordinating chocolate lollipops! Adorable!

Emerson's Ice Cream Parlour (Part 3)

2011-04-23T21:31:00.005-04:00

These are the cookies I made for Emerson's Ice Cream Parlour Birthday! After searching high and low for the perfect cookie cutter, I found it at ecrandal.com. I absolutely LOVE them! They are definitely my new favorite. The detail on the whipped cream gave them so much character! All the cherries were glittered with disco dust which was the icing on the cake for me! The Ice Cream Sundae Cookies were used as favors for the kids... I did want to have cookies for the adults as well... I thought spoons would be a great compliment for this theme. All the guests got a kick out of them; so mission accomplished! I hoped you enjoyed! Thanks.

Emerson's Ice Cream Parlour (Part Two)

2011-04-23T21:00:00.012-04:00

My favorite part.... the dessert table. I loved the way the dessert table looked... It was exactly what I wanted. I made:

Ice Cream Sundae Cupcakes... I made mini cookies with red royal icing and disc dust to use on top of the cupcake for the cherry. I just loved the way they came out and they were yummy!

Ice Cream Cake Truffles... (I stuffed mini sugar cones with a cake truffle mixture and then dipped in pink and white chocolate, topped with "hot fudge" (dark chocolate) and a mini red M&M for the "cherry".

Banana Nut Cake Truffles... (these are my favorite).

Lastly, the cake. I thought the cake was a perfect compliment for the party theme. I wanted a simple cake with a cherry on top. The top layer was chocolate cake(super moist and fudge like) with buttercream frosting and the bottom layer was yellow cake with buttercream frosting. I covered the cake in white fondant, and accented both layers with fondant polkadots. The cherry was made of fondant and my sister took a bite out of it; she couldn't resist!!

I didn't have enough room for the cookies; so that will be on the next blog... (Part 3) Enjoy!

Emerson's Ice Cream Parlour! (Part One)

2011-04-23T20:23:00.010-04:00

I knew I wanted an Ice Cream Sundae Birthday Party for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I had so many ideas, but knew my first step needed to be the invitation. I contacted Nicole at beecustom.blogspot.com to discuss my theme idea. Nicole suggested using traditional Ice Cream Sundae colors as my color theme (pink, brown, white). What a great idea... (I love the vintage feel the colors gave the invite). The invitation, as you can see, is PERFECT! She accented the cherry and whipped cream with glitter just to add a bit of cuteness! She then came up with the image on the front of the envelope, LOVE IT!! In my opinion, that added a bit of perfection to an already PERFECT invite! I truly thought the invite was perfect. I also had Nicole make matching water bottle tags, "thank you" tags for the adorable cookies (not because I made them!), display tags for the toppings and desserts and the "Emerson's Ice Cream Parlour" sign.

Next mission... OUTFITS! I need to find Ice Cream Sundae shirts for my girls. I contacted Kristina at Modern Frills via Esty.... I wanted a top that was classy, not "too cute." I sent Kristina a picture of the invite and she was able to custom design a shirt based on that.... Kristina suggested sewing a button on top to accent the cherry... ADORABLE!

Next Mission... CENTERPIECES! I was going to use flowers, but wanted to try something different. I found this company called Twirlie Whirlies via Etsy. They were able to custom design twirlies to match my theme. PERFECT!

Next Mission... DESSERT TABLE! I will post that in "Part Two."

Rapunzel Birthday

2011-03-02T14:19:00.013-05:00

I just finished an order for a Rapunzel themed birthday party. We wanted to have 2 different designs; one for the boys and one for the girls. After some brain storming we decided on swords for the boys (seeing Flynn Rider was such an important part of this movie, his sword would be perfect). Now... to represent Rapunzel.... her dress, the tower, her hair, the magical flower, her BFF chameleon, Pascal? One small detail....it was very important that it be an accessory to coordinate with Flynn's sword... a BRUSH! Finished off with a tie-on and for those of you that saw Tangled, you will agree, this tie-on captured it all! BTW - Flynn Rider is one of my favorite fictional characters... He was HYSTERICAL!

HOSTESS GIFT!

2011-02-10T13:06:00.005-05:00

What a great hostess gift! A bottle of wine with the most ADORABLE wine tag (purchased the wine tag at http://www.beecustom.blogspot.com/) and a box of fresh baked sugar cookies. This past Saturday we were invited to Joe & Sherri's house for dinner and laughs. Joe and Sherri are very familiar with the kitchen and are expected, I mean known, to make some of the most delicious food! Joe took care of the main dishES and Sherri took care of the dessertS... What do you bring to someone who has it call under control???? YOU BRING THIS - SEE BELOW!

Here I am, ready to go!

P.S. - They did supply the laughs as well!

Lingerie Bridal Shower

2011-02-10T13:06:00.004-05:00

I just completed an order for a lingerie themed bridal shower. It all started with one really cute invitation personalized for the bride to be, see below. Nicole at BeeCustom (http://www.beecustom.blogspot.com/) has a very special talent at capturing details and then putting it on paper... she has done it again! Okay, back to me! I made some white lace and pink polk-a-dot bras & panties. I hand made each rosette and it was worth every minute (I mean hour!) that went into it! Sometimes it's the small detail that brings it all together... ENJOY!

FRESH FLOWERS!

2011-01-31T15:19:00.002-05:00

"FRESH" flowers, literally! My sister, Kristina, just graduated from nursing school and wanted to give some of her peers a "little something!" We made HUGE bouquets of flowers for them. We even tied a "leaf" on the outside of the packaging! Absolutely adorable....and who wouldn't rather smell buttercream fondant over roses?

FRESH FISH!!!

2011-01-31T14:37:00.002-05:00

I just received a request for "Under The Sea" cookies! These are DEFINITELY my favorite (this week). They are so cute in person... The seahorse is my favorite - so much detail that you can't see in the picuture below... all the raised dots running down the back are glittered! SO CUTE!

ONESIE Cookies With Button Tie-On!

2011-01-28T14:28:00.002-05:00

I just finished this order for an upcoming Baby Shower... I matched the blue on the onesie to the invitation and must say....what a cool color.. accented with a chocolate "R" and a green button cookie tie. VERY JCREW, if you ask me!

2011-01-28T14:14:00.000-05:00

MISSION: Come up with creative cookie idea for a 30th Birthday Party...

SOLUTION: After many consultations with EVERY person I came in contact with.... I finally decided to make star cookies... I came up with a few different styles for each cookie (SUPER STAR, ROCK STAR, SHOOTING STAR & MOVIE STAR).

My new favorite cookie!! These are adorable; love them.... I just had a request for "Pilates Night Out." The gang was headed to a Mexican restaurant and wanted a festive cookie.... What's more festive than a Margarita? I did "salt" the rim (with sugar, of course!) and added a lime wedge tie-on; complete with "salt" at the bottom of the bag... Ole!

Toy Story Birthday!

2010-11-22T11:08:00.002-05:00

I just had a request for some cookies for a Toy Story birthday for brothers turning 1 and 3 years old. All the girls attending received a dino with the the number 1 or 3 tied on and a personalized tag. The boots & hats were for the boys (I tried to get a close-up - LOVE THE STITCHING accent)... each cookie was personalized with the birthday boys' initials ("D" & "C"), the number 1 or 3 tied on and a personalized tag. I really think the dino is my new favorite! I love the color combo; really cute in person!

Ice Cream Sundaes!

2010-11-22T10:52:00.002-05:00

Do you eat your Ice cream sundaes without a spoon??? That's what I thought! I just had an order for a birthday cupcake... The mom was turning 30 something... but as you know, the birthdays are all about the kids.... I tried to come up with something delicious for the adults, but kid friendly... I thought the kids would find the chocolate spoons OVER THE TOP! Each cupcake was topped with "hot fudge," a dollop of "whipped cream" and a red fondant cherry (lightly brushed in edible glitter, of course!) These cuties were 100% edible! I even loved the red striped cupcake liners (not edible)! Happy Birthday Corinne!!

Small Change Global Impact!

2010-11-22T10:14:00.002-05:00

I LOVE THIS COOKIE! Different from the usual "cute" stuff... This was a corporate order and the cookie was designed to match the logo, which you can see that I added the logo as a tie on. They looked awesome in person..

Soccer Ball Cookies....

2010-11-11T09:28:00.001-05:00

This is my most recent custom order.... Soccer balls... They were all tied with ribbon that coordinated with the team's colors (light blue & white)!

2010-11-05T15:09:00.001-04:00

2010-11-04T11:00:00.001-04:00

I just had an order for some football cookies... They were for the Andover High Football team. I packaged in clear bags with a tie-on of the team's logo.

It's A Jungle Out There!

2010-10-26T15:26:00.002-04:00

I just finished an order for some jungle themed cookies... Let me just tell you how much I love it when the customer leaves the design up to me! I loved the pink & black zebra, so so cute... You can't really see the spots on the giraffe in this picture, but it looked really cute in person. The elephant was my favorite.. I just love the detail on the trunk (I made 2 small holes at the very tip) & feet and not to mention that adorable flower in her hair!

SPOOKTACULAR Treats!

2010-10-25T15:54:00.001-04:00

Below are some recent Halloween treats that I made for a couple of different Halloween parties... I made some SPOOKTACULAR cookies. I packaged them in a parchment envelope and clipped them with a decorative mini clothes pin, LOVE IT... (those were shipped to California, Boy... I hope they got there in one piece!), "I'm Watching You" cake pops (btw, these are delicious!) Check out Bakerella's web site...http://www.bakerella.com/ for recipes and A-mazing ideas (I want to submit my eyeball cake pop; I think it came out SO cute-I mean scary!) and "I'm Batty Over You" cupcakes. Mind you this all started because of ONE phone call from my brother and his annual Halloween party... I need a life!

50th Wedding Anniversary Cake!

2010-10-19T12:05:00.001-04:00

I recently had a request for 50th Wedding Anniversary cookies to use as a favor.... (WOW, 50 years!) I ended up making 3 tiered cakes with a scalloped edged "50" for a topper, accented with mini flowers with a "pearl" center... all white and gold, of course!

Trick or Treat!

2010-10-13T13:57:00.001-04:00

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins!

2010-10-13T13:41:00.000-04:00

These are absolutely DELICIOUS and easy... I suggest you try making them this season. I found the recipe on allrecipes.com; here is the link... http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pumpkin-Cream-Cheese-Muffins/Detail.aspx. Once they were assembled, I drizzled with caramel, A MUST!

Caramel Apple Cupcakes....

2010-09-28T12:04:00.000-04:00

Who doesn't love a caramel apple.... Thought these were really cute and a good project for the kids... (decorate your own caramel apple). I did roll some in chopped pecans & chopped peanut butter cups... you could use mini M&M's, or any chopped candy. I used red cupcake liners for the cupcakes, frosted with buttercream (I did frost one in red; needed to see what it would look like), then drizzled with caramel and rolled some in the chopped pecans. I accented them with a green fondant leaf...

2010-09-13T12:06:00.001-04:00

I attended a dinner on Saturday night and wanted to bring along some cookies for the girls to enjoy.... Finally, I put my nail polish, lipstick & blow dryer cookie cutters to use. I had only used them once before and could not wait to use them again.... Each nail polish was personalized with the initial of the girls' first names... so cute!

Peanut Butter Cookie Cups!

2010-09-13T10:30:00.001-04:00

I was on Cookies and Cups blog and bumped into these treats.... Please visit cookies and cups blog to view the recipe. http://cookiesandcups.blogspot.com/2010/08/peanut-butter-cookie-cups-white.html. They are 100% delicious and SO easy to make. I made some slight modifications... I used a Peanut Butter Cookie recipe I found on epicurious/gourmet.... http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Peanut-Butter-Cookies-105746. I baked them at 325 for 12 minutes. I also used a plain buttercream frosting... The White Chocolate Buttercream sounded delicious, but i had some buttercream already made... Not only do these taste great; they look "pretty" too! (warning: must LOVE peanut butter) ENJOY!

Tutu cute cookie!

2010-07-26T13:24:00.002-04:00

I got this adorable (or shall i say... tutu cute) cookie cutter from ecrandal copper cookie cutters http://ecrandal.com/. ecrandal have some really unique cutters and they are quite helpful. I have been wanting to make the tutu cookie for a while, but wasn't sure what I wanted it to look like... Finally, this is what I came up with...I used pink fondant for both the tutu and the top. I added some dimension with a textured rolling pin for the top only, tulle overlay on the tutu and a white fondant rosette accented with light green leaves.
