mini{ature} food

i don’t know what it is. but. every time i see miniature food. i cannot resist aaaand just want to eat it. all.

mini sliders, mini meatballs, cupcakes, cake pops, mini key lime pies, mini apple pies. you get the idea.

maybe because miniature food is so cute it’s that i want to eat it even more than normal size food? do you find the size of your food appetizing or is it just me?

i think mini edible things are perfect: bite size, mess free, less calorie intake, compact flavor one bite at a time, and the list goes on.

as you know, i make sweets of every kind. so when i got this custom request of mini cheesecakes i was stoked.

here are some pics i snapped of the delicious {mini} cheesecakes. enjoy!

sunshine

it’s been pretty sunny for the past week or so in the fargo-moorhead area. and. i’m. truly. enjoying it !

since it’s still summer, i want to introduce you to mr. {cute} sunshine.

but before i proceed, i’ll give you some background first.

this little boy wanted some cool cupcakes to bring to his daycare. why? so he could be the popular kid of the entire class.

well, it was more like he just wanted to share the little cakes with his little friends and eat them after nap time.

but, i like my version better ;)

not unusual, but a really specific request:

nothing chocolate
light frosting
something on top of frosting

see? specific.

hmm, what do kids like? i know they love bright colors and fun shapes. right?

so i thought and thought about what to make. and voila. i had my aha moment.

confetti cake with a cute sun on top and sanding sugar. boom!

by the way, the boy was the most popular kid at the daycare that day. his mom told me his classmates kept telling him “thanks for bringing the cupcakes – we loved them” over and over again.

my version wasn’t that far from reality ;)

what about you? have you been enjoying the sun lately? if yes, leave me a comment saying how!

love post

recently celebrated 5 years of being together with the boyfriend. it was on a saturday, so we had the whole day {insert weekend here} to ourselves.

confession: didn’t bake anything for the big 5. it’s okay. i’m saving it for his birthday !

there was a bike ride, picnic with a blanket where we had delicious handmade bread with wild blueberry jam, more bike riding, fancy dinner and out & about with friends.

did i mention everything was planned by my other half?!? i had no idea what we were going to do because he kept telling me we were just going to “hang out.”

i love him. with. capital. l. {i don’t use caps but who cares??!? LOVE YOU bf, love you !}

here’s a recap in photos.

p.s. swing by clock tower cafe for cupcakes this week and leave me a message on here or facebook with your feedback ;)

air force guard

i truly admire what the armed forces do for me and for you {if you are civilian, of course}. i have close friends who have served in the army – and they’ve done an splendid job. thank you! {you know who you are ;)}

a few weeks ago, i was contacted by one of my lovely clients.

she tells me, “carolina, i need cupcakes for my daughter.” i’m thinking okay, great!

“cupcakes need to have something else besides frosting” she goes on.

in my head – awesome! {love when clients are specific!}

“oh, and you need to drop them off at the air force guard offices in fargo” she adds.

“aaaand. this is for the air force guard?!!?!”

honored! the only word that can describe how i feel every time i’m part of the armed forces. even if it’s one. sweet. at. a. time.

make this week, a happy week!
