Peanut Butter and Chocolate!
Fall Treats
Carmel Apple Slices:
Chocolate Mousse in Phyllo Cups
Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes:
Apple Spice Cheesecake:
Halloween Goodies

Dark chocolate and white chocolate crispy candies (think nestle crunch):
Ghost and Bat Cookies:
I just used a simple butter cookie recipe, then melted up some dark and white chocolate with a small amount of oil and spread it on. The eyes are little orange sugar beads.
I packed up one of each in these adorable spider web bags (Martha Stewart Crafts of course!), punched two holes in the bags and tied them off with black ribbon. I made up the bat shaped gift tags in photoshop, punch a hole, and tied them on. They read: "Happy Haunting From Colleen"
These little guys are pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I baked them in mini bundt cake pans (roughly the size of cupcakes - slightly larger). The steams are mini pretzel sticks, and the final product is placed into candy apple wrappers.
There's lots more to come, I promise!

Another Cheesecake
Eleyn's Wedding
So, here are a few (OK, a lot) of pictures of what I was up to this past weekend. My co-worker Eleyn got married, and I contributed these monogrammed cookies (atop cupcakes) for her desert buffet. The "E" is for Eleyn (the bride), and the "B" is for Ben (the groom). They are a simple butter cookie with a blue tinted royal icing (it doesn't look very blue in the picture, but I swear it is), and white buttercream for the letters. Most of the cupcakes were gobbled up before I could get a picture, hence why the plate looks so bare. I also did all of her flowers. I love doing flowers, I wish I had more reasons to make bridal bouquets! This wedding was very simple. All blue and white.
For the centerpieces I did blue and white daisies. The groomsmen had blue carnation boutonnieres. And the bridesmaids had matching blue and and white carnation bouquets.
The groom got a white double white rose bout.
And the brides bouquet was made with small white roses and white lillies.
