Delicious treats

After a long day at work today, plus a super long commute, I came home to my sweet girl making the most decadent of desserts. These looked like they belonged on the Food Network Channel! And they were so yummy! They are called Mini cakes, but instead of a traditional cake taste and texture, they were sweet and a little crunchy, like the sugar caramelized on the edges or something. She filled them with home made whip cream, strawberry preserve, a lemon sugar glaze on top with a little more strawberry preserve on top of the glaze topped with a fresh slice of strawberry. O-M-Gosh! Talk about a little slice of paradise. How cute would these be for a baby shower?

This one didn't get the slice of strawberry yet, but still, yum!

Apron and all, love it!

Cutie pie

mmmmmmmmm! Strawberry!

Enjoy your day,

Rock the Block - Finished

Remember the Rock the Block that was featured a few months back?
Did you get one for yourself?
I did. Also, remember those pictures of my kids I took at our friends barn?
Well, those are the photos I used for my blocks. I'm super excited about how they turned out. I'm just loving them.

How did you decorate yours?
Enjoy your day,

Cookies

Here is this weeks cookies that my daughter whipped up.
I know I've said this before, but I am just in awe of her cooking skills. At only 12 yrs old!
I know when I was 12, I certainly wasn't in the kitchen cooking or baking. Might have been helping my mom make a batch, but to do it all on my own, no way.
I just love that she has a passion for baking and cooking.
These are peanutbutter cookies with either a Hershey's kiss in the center, or a few mini peanut butter chips. Delish!

She called me the other day while I was at work and asked if we had any heavy cream. I said no, but what did she need it for. She said, "well, I was going to make sour-cream banana cupcakes, but it takes milk chocolate ganache, which takes heavy cream." I'm thinking to myself, "what? ganache? how does she know what it is or how to make ganache?", but then thought, who cares how, if she wants to make it, I'll get her some heavy cream! lol
So, she now has heavy cream which I will remind her of, and will show you the results soon.
Until then, enjoy your day,
