Allens Birthday Cupcake

2011-01-17T23:33:00.002-05:00

Close up..everything on here was edible..the broccoli was tootsie roll fruit chews split then icing piped on tips then dipped in green sanding sugar..the lo mein noodles is just buttercream icing tinted with a little ivory icing, the pork is tootsie rolls as well as the egg and the scallions are twizzlers sliced thin...got the containers and the chop sticks at my local chinese take out...this was def a great idea..

THE WORK IN PROGRESS !!!

2010-09-26T20:40:00.004-04:00

Started out with cupcakes that were made with jumbo papers in standard pan..to give fluted look...then tied lavendar satin ribbons around each cupcake to cinch.. a bit..put in box then decorated with fondant ivory and lavendar flower accented with pearl center and dotted pearls on icing..those were the colors of the flowers..the bridesmaids wore eggplant as well as the brides shoes..so we decided to wrap boxes in eggplant organza ribbon...I thought there were elegant and very simply classy !!!!!

Jack's 50th

2010-03-14T23:58:00.003-04:00

Jacks Birthday cake...Jack is a big big fan of Buddy,,aka Cake Boss...I really really tried to come up with a Buddy cake..but I was requested to make a cassata cake...which as you can see was done...we were at dinner not that long ago and were trying to get out of Jack what would be his ideal Buddy cake...and Jack being a huge fan of A Christmas Story.. chose to have his ideal BUDDY cake be that of him decorating a christmas tree with lights..well as you can see I tried to get the lights to get at least part of his dream cake...I know it tasted really good..as they all said...funny twist to this was ..when Aunt Franci walked in she said OHH you got the cake from Patsy's ??? which was such a huge compliment to me..Patsy's is one of the best italian bakery on Long Island !!!! so I guess I passed the test..it wasnt A Buddy Valastro masterpiece..but I'm the only CAKE BOSS YOU ALL HAVE !!!!

Anniversary Cupcakes

2010-02-26T20:51:00.000-05:00

Ricotta Cookies

2010-02-26T20:40:00.000-05:00

I have been trying to perfect the ricotta cookie recipe for a while now..they are either to soft, or to hard or too flat or too wet or too dry..but believe it or not last month in I think It was a Family Cirlce or Womans Day magazine I go the recipe and made them and they were pretty good...actually really very good..but I of course had to mess with it..they were a wee bit dry for my taste so I increased the ricotta by a half cup and I think that they came out just about perfect..next time gonna do something different with the icing..maybe thinner and not as white..more like a glaze..but they were delish anyway...everytime it snows and god knows we have had our share ..I bake and bake..there is nothing more comforting than the snow falling while the fire is burning and the smell of cookies in the oven filling the house...warms the heart and soothes the soul !!!!!

I hope he had a wonderful birthday..I know he was sad at the end..he is a sensitive kid...and he holds things in..but I know him like a book..when he read the card from Patrice and Phil and it said love Uncle Phil, Aunt Patrice, Philip and Nick...I saw him cringe..he didnt say a word then..but when they left..he cried and cried and I cried and cried...I know how much he loved Hope..and how he thinks bout her all the time..like myself......and I guess the reality of not seeing her name on card..hit home...I think bout her a hundred times a day...I hope she knows how much she was loved..Allen went to bed crying for Hope...I told him she is always around him and is watching over him every minute of every day..and is his guardian angel....my heart broke for him....I know he will never forget or never stop loving her...for his whole life....she was such an intergral part of our lives....its almost impossible to still believe she isnt here.....a part of all of our hearts are broken...Happy Birthday Allen..MEMA loves you more than anything or anybody..and Hope is looking down and watching over you..!!!
