Sprinkles from Anne

I think it more than just a coincidence that my daughter's birthday falls during National Cupcake Week. Acutally, I didn't know NCW existed until I saw a tweet about it yesterday. But, now that I know, i'm in...I'm ALL in. So in honor of this weeklong national holiday, I would...

I can't stop reflecting on yesterday. It was seriously the best day I've had in a really long time. This past week was rough. Busy schedules, family health issues, and lots of commitments and responsibility - plus a ton of orders on top of it all. But yesterday more than made...

It's been a busy crazy week with our family and with cookies! I don't have much time, but I had to share this project I shipped last week. It was for a bridal shower with a 1950s Housewife theme. I had a blast designing these cookies.  I made pearl necklaces....

Football traditions are deeply embedded into every school’s identity. At Penn State, many traditions are for fun and school pride, like Old Main ringing the Alma Mater the Friday of a home football weekend, camping out at Paternoville, Whiteouts, and our ‘We Are’ chant. But so many of these traditions...

Topher and I just celebrated our 'dating' anniversary. We celebrate all of our anniversaries...the day we met, our dating anniversary, engagement day, and of course the biggie, the wedding anniversary. We don't usually do gifts or big dinners, but we do take a little extra time to say I Love...

Here it is. September.     While I love summer, I really love autumn! It's my favorite season. I think it's the start of everything: school, football, cooler weather, changing leaves.  This week, I took my mom to the Centre County Grange and Encampment Fair. I think it's the largest, longest...

Are there a lot of golf courses in Ohio? I keep getting a bunch of golf cookie orders that are shipping to my neighbors to the west (I'm in PA).  Last week I got an email from a buckeye!  Not from a nut. A Buckeye is an Ohio State fan....

I have a super cool niece. She is smart, funny, and super nice. She is almost 10.  Usually when we hang out it's with our entire family. We don't get a lot of silly one-on-one niece/aunt time. So, when I found out the Secret Keeper Girl LIVE Tour (check out their website...

You've heard of Crab Cakes, but what about Crab Cookies??   These crabs were made for a local golf event that had a crab and corn bake for the dinner.  I had so much fun making these favors. I loved the crabby claws. He is so fun. I think it...

What are you doing this weekend? Are you interested in making some easy yummy breakfast treats? I made the following sweets for my Aunt and Uncle's recent visit to Happy Valley! I am a huge fan of making things using regular ingredients that I always have in my cabinet.  During...

Do you remember my super amazing Flour Box apron? Handmade by my super amazing Aunt Annie?  My Aunt Annie and Uncle Tim have four wonderful, talented and intelligent children. Really, there's not a dud in the bunch! Well, her oldest daughter, Ellen, just graduated (again) from Villanova. Ellen is one...

So the week leading up to our week-long vacation in Avalon, NJ was quite hectic to say the least. Toph had a crazy, busy work schedule and I had my regular web orders, PLUS a large order for the local hospital's ribbon cutting ceremony. Here are the test cookies I...

I feel like I have so much to say that I don't know where to start! I know I promised updates on the blog while we were on vacation, but obviously that didn't happen. Our house did not have internet as we originally thought. So I was forced to take a week...

Before I announce the winner to the contest, I want to let you know that Flour Box will be CLOSED from Friday, July 23 - Sunday, August 1st.  We are heading to the beach!! Any orders placed during this time will be processed immediately upon our return and will ship...

I'm celebrating today! The Flour Box Bakery Facebook page is now more than 400+ fans! I can't believe how quickly it happened. That page was only started 6 months ago. In appreciation of all the wonderful supporters and customers we have, I am hosting a super cool GIVEAWAY! Read to...
