Poll Results, Feedback Wanted and Upcoming Projects

Poll Results

The results from our last poll are in. This weeks question was "Which cookie is your favorite?" There were six voters and the winning cookie is: Chocolate Chip- the great American pastime. If you missed the recipe for Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies check it out now to learn the history of the chocolate chip.

Upcoming Projects

The end of spring and all of summer is an extremely busy time for us with lots of great celebrations. This week I will be posting a recipe for Bird Nest Cupcakes- perfect for Easter, fun to make and children love them! I will also be posting a Lemon Dream Cheesecake- also great for Easter and perfect for celebrating the start of the citrus season.
Next week I will be tackling my husbands 30th birthday cake. An Italian Cream Wedding Cake (our favorite flavor of cake) with White Chocolate Frosting. But it won't be as simple as that. Here's where my cake decorating skills will come into play. I will be creating a beach scene on a half-sheet sized cake using edible items to create sand, shells, beach grass and waves. Plus I will be molding a two-toned 1959 Ford truck out of rice cereal treats to place on the beach with a surfboard hanging out of the bed of the truck. I will show you step by step how this is done so you won't want to miss next week. There will be so many steps to this cake that I will be posting the cake recipe, the truck, the frosting recipe and the decorating in separate posts. Again, don't miss it (it could get interesting). :)

As I mentioned before there are lots of celebrations for us all summer long: 7 birthdays in the family, our anniversary, three different holidays...the list goes on. Follow all season long for great recipes and ideas for all of your celebrations.
Happy Baking!
