I won’t even try to deny it… I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas!!
The coolest new products come out right in time for the shopping season. From cool gift ideas, to crafting supplies to cooking and baking goodies.
Heidi Swapp definitely brought it with her NEW Holiday Collection!!!
You know it!!! I’m back with more marshmallow cupcake toppers for YOU to love.
Every time I make a new set of toppers, I say “these are my favorite!” (You can see each set here: Valentine’s Day – St. Patrick’s Day – Easter – Patriotic – Halloween)
The truth is that they are ALL my favorite because I made them with marshmallows and I was able to let my creativity run wild, hahaha.
Doing projects like these and teaching people how to recreate them is one of the best things about my position with KRAFT JET-PUFFED Marshmallows.
Time for cupcakes!!!
So far, I’ve made marshmallow topper tutorials for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and Patriotic cupcakes.
Now, I’m back with Halloween cupcake toppers.
I believe these have been the easiest I’ve made yet. They also came out so stinkin’ cute!! [Read more…]
Chocolate, coffee, cinnamon and Kahlúa… all staple ingredients in a Mexican kitchen.
I grew up drinking “calientito (warm)” Chocolate Ibarra during the cool months. When my parents entertained at our home, they always had a bottle of Kahlúa ready for the “cafesito para el postre (little coffee with dessert)”. [Read more…]
It’s kind of fun when your kiddos are old enough to get involved in their birthday party planning.
My eldest son, Aiden, is obsessed with parties and entertaining. He’s always putting together little parties for his stuffed animals, setting up the table when his friends come over for play dates and he’s quick to volunteer in my Studio when I’m crafting. Every year (way ahead of time) he tells me what theme he want for his next birthday party.
For his 6th birthday party he wanted a CAMPING PARTY!
He was involved every step of the way LOL [Read more…]
Imagine a creamy, luscious, frozen strawberry dessert that melts in your mouth like butter when you take bite.
Yup, that’s pretty much how this dessert rolls.
It has a cream cheese base with fresh strawberry puree and topped with homemade whipped sweet cream and crunchy tiny marshmallows!!
My friends, there’s a time and a place for everything!
Sometimes I go all Thomas Keller and sometimes I go all Sandra Lee. If I’m making French macarons, there are no shortcuts or semi anything. I make those delicate, little cookies from scratch. When I make cake pop balls, I use cake mix for my dough. No need to make a cake from scratch when I’m just going to crumble it and dip it into candy coating.
Let me tell you about my latest semi-homemade adventure…
