Mini Candy Corn Cakes

I saw these on a cake decorators website and I had to make them...they are so cute! The cake is just a regular old yellow box cake mix. I baked it in a 8x3 round pan, cut the cake in 6 servings and decorated with vanilla buttercream. I used piping bags with star tips for a cool effect. Fall baking...now on to my gourmet apples!

Mary's Red October

It's awesome to have a great friend who shares the same passion as I do. My friend is Mary. Mary & I have been friends our whole lives! We grew up next door to each other and I always felt like I was a member of her beautiful family. We recently re-connected on Facebook, and I couldn't be happier! Last Friday, I delivered Phillies cupcakes to Best Uniform - (where Mary works) - you see, Mary started somewhat of a Phillies "pep rally". If the Phillies make the post season, every Friday Mary & her co-workers bring in TONS of delicious cakes, cookies & snacks...some which are adorned in Phillies red. It was so nice to meet the other employees, and share the pride in our beloved "boys of summer".

Red October - what a beautiful thing.

Mary's contribution to the pep rally. GO PHILS!

Melting Snowman

I had so much fun with these cookies. As much as I dont want to accept it, winter is just about here, so it was time to try some seasonal cookies.  I made the first snowman really mad...and it added so much to the character! The other snowman looks just so content with melting away.  These are rolled sugar cookies, iced with royal icing. The 3-D pieces are all made from marshmallow fondant. These are offered on my website for $15 a dozen if anyone is interested. The link is in the upper right corner of this page. Enjoy!

NL East Champs - AGAIN!

For the 3rd year in a row our beloved Philadelphia Phillies took

the National League East Championship!

I was only able to catch the last 3 innings, but they

were OUTSTANDING. Big thanks to Mary for texting

me the updates :)  Let's hope our boys can do

it all again and take the big one.

Pack your bags ~ it's on!
