After my daughter’s wedding, I gave coupons to all the people who helped us out which were good for one free baked good – cake, cookies, cupcakes, you name it and so my friend Teresa texted me to cash in on her coupon for some cupcakes for her son Janson’s birthday. He likes sports, baseball … Continue reading
Our friend Alecia graduated from UVU and got accepted to the U of U so her sister Whitney called and asked if we would make her a graduation cake. We had visions of this looking like a mountain but it didn’t quite work out that way, it’s more of a very well defined plateau! But … Continue reading
A neighbor called to ask if I could make treats for another neighbor’s future daughter in law’s wedding shower (did you follow that?) and of course I said yes then she told that the shower was going to be a camping shower and that all of the food was going to be on sticks! So … Continue reading

Delicious dinner last night courtesy of “The Pioneer Woman”, Ree Drummond. I’m leaving Sunday for 5 weeks so I thought I’d better get in some cooking for the boys (that would be my husband Bob and son Zach) before I leave. I’m going to Sicily and London for work so no cooking or baking for … Continue reading
Friday was Courtney’s 21st birthday and I wanted to make her something fun! She and Jaren came over last night for a birthday dinner so I spent some time on Saturday making this birthday treat for her. The idea came from the book “What’s New, Cupcake?” by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. I made all … Continue reading
It’s my friend Gina’s birthday tomorrow so I used half of the cupcakes for the basketball cupcakes and then the other half to make this flower for Gina for her bday! I just rolled them all in decorating sugar – 1 in pink for the center, 6 in yellow for the petals and then 6 … Continue reading
