A Whole Lotta Love

I'm a little late on a Valentine's post but I still want to share some of the goodies I was whipping up last week. Last weekend I made small boxes filled with pink (duh) peanut butter cookies with a kiss, sugar cookies, chocolate truffles and then a smaller container of chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. These packages went to some very special people in our lives, our 'babysitters' aka my fiance's family and my parents who watch our daughter while we're at work. A LOT of love went into creating these packages. Best part, everyone loved their tasty gifts!

I also received an order from an old school friend to create a special gift for his fiance. Since I was already baking up a storm, I included the same items from above. Although, I tried a different sugar cookie recipe and modified it a bit. These sugar cookies are amazing! I'm talking about melt in your mouth sugary-buttery goodness! The cake box I used was much larger so it was a complete package that included the cupcakes. I spoke to my friend after the goodies were delivered and his fiance LOVED them! What a great way to tell the lady you love how special she is.

For now, XOXO

NM Wedding Guide Bridal Fair and a Cupcake giveaway

I was asked to make two dozen cupcakes for the NM Wedding Guide Bridal Fair to be given away as part of a giveaway for two lucky brides. There were two types of cupcakes: chocolate and grapefruit both with champagne buttercream. I wanted a soft-airy vibe and achieved that by using soft pinks and sparkly gold.
