Chair Valentine holder

This fun valentine holder is cute and it hangs very nicely on the back of a chair. This holder in the picture came from a certain website, but seeing how ever thing is over priced I decided to work on making my own. Felt, ribbon, velro and a sewing machine should do the trick.

Pineapple upside cake Twist


Since my hubby has become social event person at his work, it means that i have become the social event dessert provider. So for this fun twist on Pineapple upside cake I actually used pineapple juice in the mix for the batter. Using one of my favorite cake and cupcake recipe books (101 gourmet cupcake recipes in 10 minutes) I mixed, baked and decorated a dozen cupcakes and a cake as well. Since I was feeding a good amount of people I made the cake sized version. Everyone loved it and wanted more and I could make it even with two toddler's running around me. And that is tell you something! Here's to Cake!

101 Gourmet Cupcakes


This has become one of my favorite cupcake/cake recipe books. These are fun, quick and easy ways to add to boring cake mix. I absolutely love 101 gourmet cupcake in 10 minutes book and am so grateful for my wonderful mother who send this to me. Since my hubby has become social chair at work I have become the dessert lady. Bring all kids of cakes, brownies and pies. Since I try to bring a different dessert each time I am starting to run out of ideas. But thanks to this wonderful book I have a ton of seasonal, occasional and just fun ideas! Love it and would totally buy it if I didn't have one already!
