Coconut Tres Leches

This tres leches is made with coconut cream (not coconut milk), evaporated milk, and condensed milk pour over a rich white cake. Just enough to cover the cake and make it very moist without leaving it soggy. Let rest over night, cover with homemade whipped cream (or one container of Cool Whip), coconut flakes and serve. Variations can include crushed pineapple on top or strawberries. This cake is the best tres leches recipe I've tasted. =)

Foam Animals

During my pregnancy, I made these with every intention to put them together as a "Noah's Ark" collage but after I had my baby girl, I haven't gone back to finish it. I made each of these out of foam. I cut the pieces myself and adhered them to each other using a hot glue gun. Once I get this project completed, I will post the finished product.

Yummy Desserts!

Best Homemade Apple Pie
I filled these delicious pies with sliced granny smith apples and baked them for a pretty lengthy period of time at a low temperature and they came out tasting just as good as they look! And yes, even the crust is made from scratch... =)

Gourmet Sugar Cookies
I made these cookies after trying some from a local restaurant. My take on this cookie came out just as good as the original I tried! The base is a soft chewy buttermilk sugar cookie with a small spread of cream cheese icing, topped with oreo crumble,  two strawberry slices, and drizzled with milk chocolate and a little but of sifted powdered sugar. Now this is a cookie!

Raspberry Buttermilk Cake
This cake has quickly become one of my favorite cake recipes. It has a wonderful buttermilk flavor complimented by fresh tangy raspberries and topped with sugar for a delightful sugary crunch. Yum!

Pink & Black Wedding Invitations

These pink and black wedding invitations for my aunt's 25th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal were inspired by an invitation she had seen on the internet. The front was similar with a different color scheme.

For her invitations, I used pink card stock called "Razzberry". I used black card stock for the pocket and base. Vellum was used for the inserts and to wrap up the design I used Fuschia colored organza ribbon.

This was the turnout:

Butterfly Wedding Cake

I made this cake for my aunt's 25th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal. I made the flowers out of gumpaste to give them that life like petal appearance and tinted them with petal dust. The top tier is Lemon, the second is tier is Raspberry Buttermilk, and the third tier is Chocolate Marble. The coating was made with homemade marshmallow fondant versus traditional buttercream. It came out great and everyone loved it! =)
