Fairy Cake

This set up was for Poppy (don't you love that name?), who turned 3. The party was fairy themed, so there were cake pop fairy wands, and flower cupcakes and cake. The cake was pink lemonade, cupcakes were vanilla and cake pops were strawberry.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'll be honest here. I've never been someone who really gets into Valentine's Day. Sure, I loved making mailboxes in elementary school and giving valentines to my classmates (and I did save the best valentine in the box for the cute boy). This Valentine's day might hold the most excitement for me because my 5 year old told me tonight that she's going to get up in the morning and put something special on my nightstand that she made in school. She also said with a totally serious face, "sorry, mom, I didn't make blue hydrangeas or marzipan at school for you," (my two favorite things).
To help me get into the spirit of things a little, I baked up some goodies. Some heart sugar cookies (recipe here):

An owl/heart cake for Elizabeth, who turned 1. The cake is red velvet with cream cheese buttercream (very Valentinesy): 

And lastly, some heart cake pops- red velvet, of course!

I am looking forward to spending the day with my family, being outside and eating yummy food. But who needs a holiday to do that? 

Christmas Goodies

I can't believe I had enough in me after these to make more sugar cookies! For our friends, I made some simple sugar cookies with royal icing.

For other friends, I made Bakerella's cake pops, covered in white and red candy melts and painted them with gold luster dust.
