Blushing Valentine
I know it may seem a bit early to start thinking of Valentine’s Day, but it’s only a few short weeks away. If you like to make a special treat on Valentine’s Day, this is the cake.
It is a towering 4 layers high and lovingly encased in the most delicate rose-scented buttercream. It is outrageously good and worth every. single. calorie.
This is also the type of cake that could easily become adorned with say a few candles for a little celebratory birthday party? The colors could be swapped out for any, the flavor of the buttercream could be adapted to whatever you’d like it to be. Using a vanilla base for both cake and buttercream allows you the flexibility to change colors and flavors to suit the occasion or intended recipient….
Pour Some Sugar on Me!
It’s Christmas cookie time again and that means the cookie exchange! However, if you are buying jar after jar of colored sanding sugars to sprinkle on your creations it can get very costly rather quickly.
Working in this business has made me acutely aware of what things REALLY cost. Walking through stores and seeing someone pay $4.50 for a tiny 3 ounce bottle of colored sanding sugar for example… I know that they could make huge bags of it for $4.50.
I have a drawer full of them, I’m not immune to be sucked in by all the pretty colors… but no more!
It’s not that I’m cheap; I prefer to think of it as frugal, but what gets under my skin is paying an exorbitant amount of money for what I’m getting.
It’s all about getting a decent value for your money.
So, with that said: We are going to make our own sanding sugars this year for a fraction of what we would pay at the grocery store.
