Hello again.

Since the move, I haven't been keeping up on the blog. I have made a few things this last week. I forgot my camera both times, so you'll have to settle for pictures from my phone.

Vanilla cupcakes with fresh strawberry butter cream and white chocolate curls. Made for a lemonade stand at the local Community Arts Center to benefit Make-a-Wish foundation.

Vanilla cupcakes with whipped vanilla butter cream and mini rice krispy treats, made for a 6 year old birthday party. They were a hit.

In the process of getting my licensing here. Also looking in to shipping treats...

More to come on that.

Bye for now. The sun is out and I need to go bask in it.
