Petits Fours

My friend Soo and I decided to make fancy treats for a retirement 'tea party' for one of our lovely colleagues at work. Soo had the brilliant idea of making Petits Fours. What a perfect idea for a tea party! And of course, she just happened to have candied edible flowers in her freezer. These adorable buds were the final touch to make these little gems mini works of art. So pretty, and tasty too!

That's One Giant Cupcake!

Well, it had to happen one day...why make multiple little cupcakes when you can make one great big giant one?!
This giant cupcake was made from a chocolate chip pound cake recipe with vanilla creme cheese icing.
It seems my friend thoroughly enjoyed her birthday cake, and so did everyone else for that matter.  Happy birthday to you!
