Strawberry Cheesecake

Here is a picture of the Strawberry Cheesecake that I made from a recipe from http://annies-eats.com/2010/04/23/strawberry-cheesecake/. Instead of the almond crust I made a graham cracker crust made with graham crackers, sugar, cinnamon, and butter.

Sarah's Bridal Shower

Bridal Shower Water Bottles

I made these personalized water bottles for Sarah's Bridal Shower. I just bought water bottles and took all of the tables off of them. I measured the size of the labels and I designed the personalized labels on Photoshop. I just printed the labels out onto regular paper and I cut all of them out. To make them waterproof or water resistant I got tape and taped both sides, which hopefully will work!! I attached the water bottles to the water bottle just by hot glueing the edges of the label together.

Bridal Shower Favors

I made personalized Hershey bars for the Bridal Shower Favors so they would go along with the theme. Since Hershey bars no longer have the silver foil around them I had to order some from ebay. I made the outside wrapper on Photoshop and then I got the ideas of a wording from a website that I found.

Bachelorette Party Invitations

Theses are the invitations that I made for Sarah's Bachelorette Party. We are going to Glen Ivy Hot Spring Day Spa in Corona. I did the flip flop invitations so they would go along with the Spa Summer feel.

Bridal Shower Invitations

I am going to be the Maid of Honor for my friend Sarah's wedding on July 10th. I have been planning the Bridal Shower which is going to be this weekend so I will post pictures from that soon. Here is the picture of the invitation that I made for the around the clock bridal shower.

Amy Butler Snow Mum Pillow

This is a pillow that I made using Amy Butler's Snow Mum Pattern. http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/products/me_patterns.php. I just bought that black material and made the pillow cover and then I made the snow mum using felt and a button for the middle of the flower.

Beach Cupcakes

Here are some beach themed cupcakes that I made from my friend Ellie's birthday last year. I made some vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. For the vanilla cupcakes I frosted them and dipped the frosting into crushed graham cracker crumbs. On top of these cupcakes I added chocolate seashells and mini cocktail umbrellas. For the chocolate seashells I used a chocolate mold from Michael's and some yellow and white candy melts. I melted the candy melts in the microwave separately and added a little bit of both the melted yellow candy melts and melted white candy melts and swirled them around with a toothpick to get a more realistic looking seashell. The mini cocktail umbrellas were made with paper, hot glue, and beads. The link on how to make the seashells is at the bottom of the page. For the "water" cupcakes I piped on the tinted blue frosting in a swirl and added blue sanding sugar on it.

Cheeseburger Cupcakes

A while ago I made the Cheeseburger Cupcakes with the sugar cookie french fries for my friend Bryant's Birthday.  I got the idea from Bakerella which included a tutorial on how to make the cupcakes, fries, and the template for the french fry holder and the tray.  I used the template that was provided on Bakerella and customized it. 

Recently it was Bryant's daughter Peyton's 2nd Birthday so I made miniture versions of the cheeseburger cupcakes. All I did was cook cupcakes in a mini muffin pan to get smaller versions of these cupcakes. The picture that is posted of the mini cheeseburger cupcakes is before the sesame seeds were added.
