Banana Streusel Muffin


I bought a huge bushel of bananas the other day for my babes. They eat so many so quickly. The just purchased bushel of bananas went from green to brown over night. So sad. In the morning my little guys were asking for bananas and I didn't have any to give them. I decided to make some muffins with the brown bananas. Now they keep asking for cake. :)

Golf Themed Grooms Cake

This is a golf themed cake personalized for a groom. What a lucky man to have a woman that surprises him with a cake just for him.

This cake is filled with buttercream and cut up Snickers.








The groom has a springer spangle named Calli and the Bride ask if I could try to make her. I tried. I think it came out ok.

Chocolate cupcakes with Marshmallow frosting... YUM!!

This cake was for a 3 in 1 celebration. This was a High School graduation, 45th birthday, and a 40th Wedding anniversary.

I filled the cake with yummy fresh strawberries.

I made a bunch of different fondant items to decorate the cake with.

These cookies are a staple in my home.

Oatmeal Raisin. I found this recipe and I don't think I will EVER try to change it!

VBS (Vacation Bible School)

This summer I helped out with VBS at my church. This is a program that runs for 1 week (Monday-Friday). On Friday night there is a closing program. People were asked to donate snacks for after the 'show'.

The church was decorated with pandas so I thought I would incorporate that on the cookies. These are the cookies I came up with.



Wild

This cake was for a High School graduation. The theme of the party was safari/jungle.

The topper of the cake is an elephant. The graduate LOVES elephant.












Red, White, and Blue

For the 4th of July I made flag cookies and berry topped chocolate cake.


Don't mind the toothpicks. I almost forgot to take a picture before completely wrapping the try in plastic wrap.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate

These are just because cupcakes. I thought I would try out a different chocolate cake recipe so I made Hubs some cupcakes. His favorite icing is my peanut butter cream cheese icing and I knew he would love this icing on this cake. Just to be extra special I topped it with a chunk of a peanut butter cup.
