A little springtime baking.......No chocolate today

Well I needed to move out of my chocolate mood so I made some springtime goodies. I really could make miniature baked goods all day if life would let me. Really brings me joy. I think I miss the bakery so much. Went to visit the old place and it was completely gone. It had changed owners several times since us but now there no bakery at all. Sad.....

Miniature one is almost done. Soon I will share it. I'm going through boxes of minis for a flea market this Sunday in Sacramento. I will see Marsha there. Any one else in the area this is always a wonderful event that shouldn't be missed. Oh did I mention I have real snickerdoodle cookies in the oven .... I do... and there is the timer! Mini hugs!

Sorry....I'm not out of my chocolate mood yet.....

okay so I'm still in a chocolate mood. It is what it is. Stephanie you offered good advice last time but I really need chocolate so moderation it is for me. But mini baking in chocolate the skys the limit....no calories. I'm having a blast. I wanted to share some pictures of the mudslide cake and the brownies I made yesterday. So for all of those who share my love of chocolate enjoy! Mini hugs!

When you can't have something...the more you want it!

Well I'm trying to be good but I truely have chocolate on the brain. I made these little goodies today. I had fun making them but do I still need chocolate?.....Yes! I do so I have decided there is no way I can cut it out completely. Yesterday proved that with half a bag a m&ms. So.....it will be all about moderation. I will let myself have chocolate everyday just small amounts. I just can't give it up cold turkey. No way...... Anyway wishes for a Happy and Creative weekend. Mini hugs!

Some chocolate fondue and a wonderful surprise.....

Today I made some chocolate fondue in miniature. I really have such a hard time staying away from chocolate. I have to say I ate a 1/2 bag of peanut m&m's today. Not the small bag either.So much for the diet Lol. I also wanted to share the wonderful surprise I received from Marsha (Sassy Mini dolls) This little cutie came and made my whole day. She even made the cute mouse ears. Thanks so much Marsha. You are a sweetheart. I look forward to seeing you in a couple weeks. Mini hugs!

A very tall Croquembouche in miniature...

Okay I got a little carried away with my tower of profiteroles maybe it was because I was so hungry while I was making it. Started a new diet because I have been eating way too many sweets lately and well things are fitting tight again.... I thought this would be fun to make. I saw a real one being created on the food network and boy it made me very hungry for some. Well here it is.... my miniature version. I need to measure it ...Kinda tall but best of all it was something new I had fun making......But didn't help to make me not want to eat the real thing. Lol Where did I hide the chocolate?.....Oh please somebody stop me. Mini hugs!

Still in a miniature baking mood....

Hello.... I did some mini baking yesterday and I thought I would share my latest cake mood here. Some strawberry angel food and a raspberry cheesecake. I'm still battling my nasty cold but at least I felt like doing something in miniature. Just haven't felt like it I cough so much it makes my head hurt. Can't you just see these cakes in a shabby bakery? Me too! Soon........ Mini hugs! Oh did I mention these are scented? Yes they are.

Miniature loaf cakes for my country store....

No too much new here in my world. I seem to have caught a bad cold but feeling a little better today. I thought I would share my loaf cakes I made for my country store. I thought they would be fun to display sliced on the counter. I have been in the mood to go into some of my finished projects and see what new things they need. I had fun with the sliced pound cakes and I think they will be a nice new addition. I will be taking pictures soon of my updated projects and the changes I have made. Hubby is going fishing this weekend so I should have some extra time. Yippee!!! Mini hugs!

Thank you for all the kindness....

I'm sorry to have to share that Ceasar passed away last night. He died with the love of his family all around him. He did not spend one minute of it alone. He knew he was loved. I will miss my little friend very much, but I'm sure he has a special spot in heaven now.
I wanted to thank you for all the kind messages and loving thoughts you sent us when we needed them. I will not forget. Animals are a special gift and it is nice to know so many of us feel the same way. xoxo Kim and Ceasar........

My baby is sick......

I haven't been around much I know.... My little bird Ceasar is very sick and I'm having a tough time. He is a sweet little guy and he needs me right now. Think good thoughts for him.Please! He needs them. Mini hugs!
