Chocolate Cameos





I finally put to use some of the chocolate molds I bought back at the beginning of December. I got a few different molds shaped like vintage cameos, which I excitedly hinted at here. I think these are just spectacular! I spent a couple hours Friday evening while the hubby was out puttering around in the kitchen playing with a couple of my molds. I decided to make these in white, pink and red since Valentine's Day is coming up. I always think cameos are so whimsical and romantic and they look lovely in these shades. I took these picture in a hurry this afternoon before the hubby and I went out to do a little shopping/have dinner. I want to take another picture with the chocolate cameos next to the identical vintage ones. I am just so tickled that I can now create edible versions of the very cameos I use in my designs! I've decided that I'm making a bunch of these for shoppers next time I do a trunk show or the like. Wouldn't that be so fun?

You'll have to excuse the photos. I was having a bit of fun with the aperture on my new camera. This camera handles quite a bit differently than my old point and shoot, but I'm loving it! It's so wonderful having a camera again. I've missed sharing snippets from my days. I'm baking macarons again tomorrow. I hope they turn out lovely so I can share them with you soon!

Cutest Cookies Ever!


As if my list of things to bake wasn't long already, these Colorful Spiral Cookies from Sprinkle Bakes are now on my list! I mean, how cute are these? I love that they can be frozen and sliced/baked whenever. I need to get my hands on some adorable jumbo nonpareils and some fruity extract--perhaps some Raspberry Flavor or Orange Extract--and then I'm set! I am planning to do share my baking more often now that my new camera has arrived.

The new camera came in today and I am beyond excited! I've played around with my usual features a little tonight but look forward to seeing what it can really do tomorrow once there is sunlight. I'm going to do some baking this weekend and will be busy photographing new items for a shop update next week. More details on that to come!

So Sweet!
