CHOCOLATE & RASPBERRY cookie cups!!

Our blogs been up for a couple months now, and thanks to stumbleupon.com we're up to 15,000+ views a day! :D  So, we'll be updating as much as possible   [even though we update frequently anways  :P ]

<3's to AZ for brainstorming help today!  

We made more sugar cookie cups, like we did when we made these for the 4th:

But instead, filled them with raspberry jam, topped 'em with milk chocolate & whip cream!

4th of July!!! ICE CREAM COOKIE CUPS & CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRIES!

Whew! That was a long title!
Well, 4th of july is always exciting,
but it's even more exciting for our family- cos it's my dad's birthday! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! :D

So, we decided to whip up a special little dessert just for his party.

After some brainstorming [and some combining of a few goodies some mamas showed me], i decided upon
Mini sugar cookie cups, with ice cream and dipped strawberries on top!!
[special festive strawberries ;)]

Our family loved it! Yours would too :D

Also, i had a camera emergency, so all the 'prep' pics, were taken with a 55-200mm lens, so, if you know anything about those [you can shoot an airplane with them], taking photos...was no easy task.

What you'll need

ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES! [for laura :D]

Sooooo a WONDERFUL mama sent us

so we wanted to make something dedicated to her

using it!

there were a few fails in this project :P
one, i had to use my back up camera, so appollogies for the photo quality,
annnnd, my icing recipe was too soft, so it went from being a cute fluffy ice cream cone, to...a melted, sad one   :(
BUT, we love her, sooooo...it's "special"   :D

The cake part


The [failed] icing part


The "we love you laura & family" part :D
 

SPECIAL POST! Carter's birthday cake! :D

Today was Carter's birthday party!
Ahhhh 6 years old!!!!

This was our FIRST attempt with fondant! [see previous post] So, no laughing! ;)
anyways, i'll keep this short 'n just show photos :D

and our choc dipped pretzels
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CBEAR

First time with FONDANT?!

So, this is a little sketch of Carter's birthday cake for his 6th birthday.
Imagine this..but about half the size :D

these are the cake toppers :D


originally i was just gonna use regular icing, and decorate with the same,

and though it's my first cake, an [awesome] mama suggested i try marshmallow fondant,
so, i did


i started getting warry about it though,
so the same [very awesome] mama suggested i try doing a little tester thingy'ma'bob.

Soooo i just finished doing that  
i haven't made frosting yet, SO i had to use caramel sauce  :P
Also, it wont be so bumpy looking on the finished product! i dont have a 'cake smoother' yet!

But, here is my teeny tiny [probably not very good tasting right now] tester cake  :D


Not too impressive, i know! But hey, it's my first time trying FONDANT!!! :D

Chocolate FILLED Strawberries!!

So, as you may or may not know, i have been on a quest to find a way to have THE MOST amount of chocolate on a strawberry.

It's serious.

:D

I've tried another way, it kinda...failed.
Though, it tasted awesome.





So this is what we tried today.

*Sorry there are no 'the baking process' photos, there was a camera issue, also, my 'good camera/my baby' is outta commish so i had to use a back up point 'n shoot'

These were the results :) We are quite pleased!

Mini PUPPY CHOW pies!

New twist on an old favorite :D
