Be Audit You Can Be

April 10, 2011

Have you hugged a CPA today? It's that time of year when accountants are going nuts trying to meet the biggest tax deadline of the year.  I had the honor of making a set of Tax Day cookies. Definitely a sweet way to say thank you, right? I started working...

Is anyone else excited for Easter's arrival? I am! It's one of my favorite times of year. I love celebrating Jesus, spending the day with my family, cute floral dresses, egg hunts, and Easter baskets full of candy and surprises! What's not to love? It's a bright time when everything feels...

Decorator's Block

April 4, 2011

Decorator's block is a lot like writer's block. I find them equally frustrating. Most of the time, designing a cookie for an order comes naturally - especially when the customer has a clear vision of what they want. I always try to plan ahead for orders, even emailing cookie sketches to...

Toy Boat

March 31, 2011

On the way home from our recent trip to Indianapolis, we got a little punchy. After a long day of basketball, we didn't leave until 6:30pm for our 10-hour drive. A couple hours into the drive we were all tired, but no where close to home. That's when the tongue twisters came...

Jedi in Training

March 27, 2011

I think it is safe to say that when it comes to anything Star Wars I'm a Jedi that needs a little bit of training. Star Wars is certainly not a new party theme, neither are Star Wars cookies. I saw my first set of Star Wars cookies on www.bakeat350.com....

How to Host a Cookie Decorating Party

March 22, 2011

  Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting a cookie decorating party with a group of 11 cookie experts - a Girl Scout Daisy Troop in Bellefonte. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, of course I think that is in large part due to the fact that those little Daisies were...

Election Cookies

March 20, 2011

One of my favorite games to play with my little girl is "Name that Cookie Cutter". I order cookie cutters on a regular basis, and as soon as my little cutie sees a package in our mailbox, she knows it's time to play. Some cutters are tougher to guess than...

Out with the Green, In with the Pink

March 18, 2011

I hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Our family (including my mom) enjoyed a delicious dinner of Corned Beef and Cabbage and Mashies. Yum! We all wore green and ate until we popped a button - some of us quite literally! Our local public radio station, WPSU, played...

Smorgasbord

March 17, 2011

Blogging is usually my reward for when I have finished my 'to-do list' and have free time. This year, I haven't had as much time as I usually do. I have been out of town or busy with orders. I have really been bumped from my regular blogging rhythm. This...

Dessert Diet

February 26, 2011

This morning, I baked a bunch of cookies - especially flowers!! It felt so springy! I can't wait to share a few new photos soon. Baking all those flowers reminded me that I had yet to share the photos from a recent set of cookies for a Bridal Shower with...

Seems like my family and I have been on a journey this year.  I made a bajillion Valentine's Day cookies (that's just an estimate of course).  So many lovely cupcakes... and hearts ... and lovebugs... and owls... We've been making many trips to Hershey. During one of the trips I...

President Obama Cookies

February 3, 2011

Please ... before you read this post, please keep in mind that these are not political ... they are just cookies. Just flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. That's it. : ) With that said... It's kind of cool when the President comes to town. He is here today at...
