So it's been awhile since I last posted a blog. I haven't been baking much lately b/c of the weather here. It's crazy hot, and who wants to turn on an oven when it's already hot enough. Well that has come to an end. I'm having withdrawls from not baking, so I should be uploading some pictures and another post to come soon.

My momma and I went to JoAnn's today and I picked up a new Cupcake decorating book. I'm so eager to use some of their ideas!

Anyways, it's late so I'm going to head off to bed!

Have a great rest of the weekend!!!

Easter Cookies!

Ok so all day Friday my momma and I baked and decorated cookies for our church Easter Egg Hunt. I didn't get to snap but one picture of just a few of the cookies I decorated. I wasn't too thrilled about them, but hey they are cute and I got lots of compliments on them and how they taste :)

I'm still working on getting down the "right" consistency of flooding my cookies. It seems as though it's either too thick and clumpy or too thin and runs over the sides. (any suggestions are welcome?!) So with that being said, I want to thank everyone who has helped me and given me advice thus far. It makes me want to keep on going and just work at getting better everyday and for that I thank each of you! I wish I knew how to link your blog but i can't figure it out. If you know how please let me know.

here's the pic of the cookies. They were set on top of each other before compeltely dry, so some are smeared.




I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter and a terrific week!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

I Timothy 3:16

What an awesome verse about the Easter story! Happy Easter to you & yours and remember what the meaning of Easter is!!

I encourage you and your family to go to church tomorrow! I promise you won't regret it!

*Be Blessed*

a change..

So as most of you can tell, I changed the name of my blog and the layout and a few other things. I figured since it is the internet and anyone can access this page, I don't want it to be so personal. I'm fairly new to blogging so I haven't learned much about how you can keep it more private, so I first thought, I'd start a new blog because really I just want a blog to share my baking adventures..but then I would loose my followers and I'd have to go back through and find everyone. So at last, I decided to just change things up here!

Anyways, last night I was up till about 1am decorating/baking cookies. The cookies turned out awesome! They were so buttery and fluffy, but didn't spread too much, it was awesome. Now the icing was a pain, to say the least. I ran out of piping bags, and the first batch I made was too thick and the second was too watery. So I had to make do with what I had and I left about 10 cookies to play with later tonight! I'm trying to get better and better quickly so I can make some cookies for a friend's baby shower. My husband asked me this morning.."Can you please make some cookies, other than onesies, stollers, and baby feet, so I can take some to work and people won't ask why I'm eating baby shower cookies". Ha ha! So I better get good soon so I can move onto other cookies so my hubby will be happy :)

So anyways, I'm off to read up on The Pioneer Women's blog. I love her! My cousins got me her cookbook for Christmas. I read like 60 pages the first week I had it, and I don't like to read, at all :)

I'll leave y'all with a piece of my heart!!!

Cake Balls & Cupcakes

Here's a couple pictures of the cake balls and cupcakes I made over the weekend for my Momma's birthday and for my Children's church class! They were both a big hit! I can't wait to make more and get better at decorating :)
