You can never go wrong with clean simple elegant designs when planning a baby shower or bridal shower… hence, “simply blue.” We launched a pink version, “simply pink,” several weeks ago and quickly realized that we needed to represent the baby boys and the something blue bridal showers. We chose a zen blossoms blue and brown plate …
In search for a few table ideas for our family fourth of July gathering this weekend, I liked these the most. The image above is from Pottery Barn. My favorite is the berry cupcakes… imagine that! These are both from Martha Stewart and I have to admit that my favorite pieces are props in the …
Okay, say what you will… BUT I swear I was planning to make the exact cookies tomorrow and of course post them here for you. Oh well, I’ll still make them, but now you’re getting them a day early from Martha. Here are the how tos. And since Independence Day is upon us, I thought …
I love this wedding cookie cutter; with a few trims of the dough you’ve got four cookie shapes from one cutter: Tier cake with a heart topper (as cutter is shown) Three tier cake (trim off heart) Wedding gown (trim off layered edges) Cocktail dress (trim off layered edges and length) And of course you …
I previewed the decor for this new design a few weeks ago and now I’m proud to say that the design is complete. And not only this one, “Blossoms,” but we also designed two more invitations, below, with this same color palette. All three designs and decor will be available for purchase early next week. Introducing …
As I mentioned in my hosting a hoe down post, my little one has food allergies. He’s a big fan of the rice crispy treat so I molded the sweet treat into star cookie cutters (available in our shoppe) and then iced them as favors for our guests. We placed them in pails that were …
My youngest is turning three and he wanted a wild west cowboy bash. So as you can imagine, I gave him one. {wink} Those who read me often know that he has severe food allergies so I needed to make a cake and treats that were dairy and nut free. (He was released from the egg …
I came across these fun felt owls and cute owl cupcakes this morning and wanted to share. Unforatunately I don’t have step-by-step instructions on these… yet. {wink} The fat little owl craft is from lerylin2, a reader on Martha Stewart.com. Her homemade hoots won a recent contest. She does tell us that she used styrofoam and …
I’ve belonged to a book club for the past six years {hey girls!}. Last week we had a potluck and I was to bring something sweet. My week was swamped and I never had a chance to bake so I ran to the grocery and picked up some chocolate covered graham crackers and strawberries. I …
Tis the season for garden parties and I thought these two flower pot cupcake ideas were so super cute. The first is from Georgia McDonald on flickr. I love the simplicity of them; simple, but very lovely. Just cupcakes with white icing, a fun sucker and gummy leaves with a little cookie or chocolate sprinkle. …
