Mom...I'm hungry...AGAIN!

I am a Mom, of boys...boys who eat me out of house and home, and we haven't even hit junior or high school yet...yes I am a Mom of a 6 ½ , 5 and 2 year old.

To help combat their hunger and hopefully save a little bit of money and still provide them with the best and freshest ingredients we have a garden...or two. One here at the house and one at our local community garden.

Of course with my baking business unless I take time off it's rare to find a week of down time...and wouldn't you know that my garden is ready for me to can, freeze and pickle so many wonderful things...RIGHT NOW!

So this week I am trying to balance my orders and my garden. So I'm keeping busy, I've blanched and frozen my broccoli and my husband will work on beans while I work on a birthday cake tonight, and over the next week we'll have to tackle the beets that can't be ignored any more.

I know before too long it will be the cucumbers turn, and don't get me started on the tomatoes which usually run into applesauce season.  At least I know what I’m putting into my kid’s body. 

Happy Gardening!

Cookies for Pudding's Birthday

I was honored to make some cookies for Pudding's 9th Birthday Party.

Pudding is somewhat of a celebrity...he was featured in People Magazine (http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20586862,00.html)

for saving his owner Amy Jung's life by waking her and her son Ethan up when Amy was having a diabetic attack...and if you didn't know Pudding is a cat.

So here are the cookies that I made for his Birthday Party at Door County Floral (http://www.doorcountyfloral.com)

Thanks Amy, Kyle and Jeremy for thinking of me.

Door County Half Ironman

As you may know I spent the last 7 months training for my first Half Marathon and my first Half Ironman. This past Sunday I completed my first Half Ironman.

(1.2 Mile Swim, 56 Mile Bike and 13.1 Mile Run for 70.3 Miles)

I made some cookies to help me and my training partners celebrate this accomplishment.

I also made each of my training partners a cookie with a word for each of them to focus on during the race.

Surprise Baby Shower

Heather's friends had a surprise baby shower for her. It happened to be the same week that her family was here and she ordered the Peeking Baby Boy cookies. So she got a double dose of cookies that week. :)

Thank you cake

This past weekend I went with a friend and her cousin to ride a portion of the Ironman Wisconsin Bike course.

They are both silly enough to be training for the full Ironman, and I'm silly enough to tag along and ride the course just for fun.

We enjoyed some good food, and great chats, and we even enjoyed some cake.

Betsy and James' wedding treats

Betsy and James were married this past weekend, and I was truly honored to be part of their special day.

Betsy and James' cake was a two tiered cake sort of a his and hers.  The bottom tier was a white cake with a triple berry fruit layer and the top tier was a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. The entire cake was topped with buttercream and made to look like hydrangeas.

For the wedding guests I made white cupcakes also with the hydrangea buttercream flowers and chocolate cupcakes that were filled with chocolate that also had the hydrangea flowers, but the chocolate cupcakes also had a cherry buttercream frosting.

Congrats Betsy and James!

Thank you Patty, Betsy and James!
