Spring. Now is probably the best time to check if ski jackets at PeterGlenn.com are already on sale. Haha! I made this pink and purple garden-themed cake in September last year per the request of a friend. It’s for her daughter’s first birthday, just the perfect occasion for a custom cake. This was a fun cake to make and relatively easy too. All I needed really were my cutters, except for the mushrooms and the girl figure. It’s one of those days when everything just goes according to plan.

Cheers! Go out and smell the flowers!

Hubby celebrated his birthday last week, Thanksgiving week. That’s one of the reasons why Thanksgiving week is all the  more meaningful to our family. Per the birthday boy’s request, I made him a cheesecake, a Fudge Truffle Cheesecake. I could have made blueberry or cappuccino, but I chose a chocolate-y cheesecake. It’s a no-brainer! Hubby got his cheesecake, and I got my chocolate fix! You got me! I’m a chocoholic! Hee hee. I just might need the chocolate counterpart of a methadone detox rehab treatment center.  Hee hee.

You can find the recipe for this super yummy cheesecake HERE.

Cheers, y’all!

We.love.chicken. Come to think of it, who doesn’t? Frying is one of the simplest ways of  cooking chicken. I like making Japanese-style fried chicken, karaage. One time, I received a karaage mix sample in the mail, which simplified the entire process even more! And this is how the chicken turned out…

Yum! You can read more about it HERE.

Thank goodness we are not allergic (to chicken or any kind of food for that matter)!  We sure don’t want to land in one of ‘em food allergies austin clinics! Bok-bok=bok!

Cheers y’all!

One of 3 cakes I made with a fairy topper for the month of September was this cake, a Candy Land Cake!

This has got to be one of the most fun cakes I had the chance making. It was for the back-to-back birthday celebration of the daughters of good friends of ours. They had a game night of sort of thing going. None of the Gears of War 3 type of games though! Just fun, good old fashioned board games. *wink*

The birthday girls loved their shared cake, and so did their parents and other friends of ours present at the party. And that, for me, made all the hard work well worth it.

Cheers!

A nurse friend of mine and her husband asked me to make a Fairy Garden – themed birthday cake for their daughter’s first birthday. Here’s that pink and purple cake…

I had so much fun making this cake. I made all the decorations ahead of time – around 2 days before the party. The cake, it’s safe to say, was very well-liked and received a lot of compliments from the birthday family’s relatives and friends (mostly nurses, and no, they were not in nurses uniforms!).

This is the 2nd of 3 cakes I made last month that had a fairy topper.

Cheers, y’all!
