Happy Mother's Day

So I had this idea last year for Mother's Day, which I'm not sure how to top this year, but instead of just buying my mom flowers I decided to make her chocolate flowers. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the finished product but I do have a picture of the flower pot I painted that held the bundle of delicious chocolate bouquet. 

The purple, blue and pink roses were simple chocolates I experimented with putting macadamia nuts and almonds in them. Quite tasty :) 
Also, I used the purple roses for a wedding in October 2010 (again unfortunately I don't have a picture) but so I was told they were a hit.
 

Breast Cancer Awareness

Now these were help fundraise for the 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer. I just made vanilla cupcakes with buttercream icing which I tinted pink and iced them together to look like the awareness ribbon. I thought they turned out quite cute. 

 

 I must admit my photography is not the best. :P

Relay for Life 2010

These chocolates I made for my sister to help her raise money for the Relay for Life in summer of 2010. They were lots of fun to make. These not only included making fun yellow flowered chocolates but I also hand painted little flower pots for them to sit in as well.

And let it begin...

Welcome to my first blog. 

My goal is to create a site filled with delicious sweets to inspire others to have fun with baking, just like I do. I hope you all will enjoy what I make for an event, or just to fufill an urge to make something. I have high hopes for this and I hope everyone will take this new road with me.
