So sweet!

A sweet 16 cake! The checkerboard was all put on with a stencil. The bow is sugar and the ribbon is real.

Oh Christmas Tree!

I created this Christmas tree based on a design by Bronwen Weber. I love her cakes! It was for the Hope Kids Birthday Celebration this month. I love donating cakes to them, they are always so happy and appreciative and it's one way I can help out. Each tier was a different flavor of cake and filling.

Pizza Party!

A one year anniversary celebration. Nothing real detailed but look at the little tomato!

6th birthday

A cake for a very cute 6 year old. :) I made her mom's wedding cake years ago and have been blessed to keep in touch and make other special occasion cakes for her. This one was designed to match the party ware. I loved it and all it's glittery-ness.

Christmas is a time to give back.

Christmas is a great time to give back and a great time to teach our kids about helping others. I believe that if we all helped each other more we wouldn't have so many issues. There are so many charities and causes; these are just a few that I like.


Something we have always done is the Christmas Angel Tree. These are set up everywhere, the mall, grocery stores and we have them at our church.

Operation Christmas Child is another I like. This is something you can plan for all year as well. Back to school time is a great time to get a lot of the items for the boxes and of course save those boxes all year. :)

Now this one is one that has really been on my heart this year, Hope Kids. They are local, in Arizona. I donate cakes to their special occasions when they need one. They plan and create events and parties for the kids and families of kids with major illness. When children are that sick it is really hard for their parents to plan outings just for fun. They spend a lot of time at the hospital or doctors offices having tests and treatments and just don't have the time and I would assume the energy for those things. There are also often other children in the family too and they all need that time to just try to relax and have a good time. That is where Hope Kids comes in and they do an amazing job. I love working with them. You can donate on the website.

Another awesome cause is http://reecesrainbow.org/. They are there to help children who need to be adopted. Most are from other countries and are in orphanages and institutions. The children need homes! So they get the word out and if you aren't called to adopt you can donate towards a child's adoption fees. It is so expensive to take all the trips there and then going through the process. Everything helps.


Have a Merry and Blessed Christmas!

I wanted to share our Cocoa Cones! They are a great gift for just about anyone but are GREAT for employees, teachers, the mailman, :) kids stockings stuffers... You get the idea. Each cone contains 2 servings of yummy hot cocoa fixings, including chocolate chips (also can get white chocolate chips, Andes pieces or other flavor), marshmallows and Christmas Sprinkles. The candy canes are pretty decorations but are also to stir your cocoa. We add a pretty Christmas tag with directions as well. Each cone is $4.00 each.
