Favorite Dessert- right now

This is the best ice cream sandwich cookie ever.

I have been eating this brand since I was a wee little girl.

You could only find them at the "mom and pop" convenience stores.

Alas I have found them in Stater Bros. and they have a new flavor.

If vanilla ice cream sandwiched between soft oatmeal cookies

dipped in chocolate sounds good to you, try one you'll fall in love.

Back to School

Well after many tears and talking to different departments

I am finally back to school at Cal Poly!

I am very excited about my classes and my teachers

are all pretty good so far. I love it when I find a professor

who is totally passionate about their subject. The only

bad thing is I get super excited too and want to

change my major and get all into it.

I have been an Art , Biology, Child Development, and Liberal Studies major.

So lets hope I can stay on track this quarter!

Happy New Year

One of my resolutions this year is to be happy in the moment I am in.

So much I find myself saying I'll be happy when (fill in blank)...

I will try to say I am happy now because (fill in blank).

So good luck in your new years resolutions

and remember to be happy even if we fail at them.

Ornament Mini Cupcakes

The holidays always put me in a baking mood. So when I saw this book "Hello Cupcake" at the library I knew I wanted to try one of the designs. I made mini cupcakes and decided to do the ornament design, so I bought all kinds of different candies, red hots , dots, sprees, laffy taffy etc.

As I was finishing up my vanilla frosting my sister brought over my six year old nephew.

Right then I knew I had to abandon my idea of making these look like the pictures in the book, and made the decision to just have fun and let my nephew use his imagination to make the cupcakes look however he wanted.

We really had a good time, I only wish I had taken more pictures

of the great designs we came up with.

Yum.

I recently checked this book out at the Library, Martha Stewart's Cookies.

It has her whole collection of cookies, arranged by texture. Light & Delicate, Soft & Chewy, Crumbly & Sandy, Chunky & Nutty, Cakey & Tender, Crisp & Crunchy, Rich & Dense.

They all looked and sounded so delicious.

Whoopie Pies.

These little beauties came from the

Cakey & Tender section of the book.

They are basically a chocolate cookie

sandwiched with a fluffy peanut butter filling.

If you love the chocolate/peanut butter

combination this is a must try.

I had Ryan yelling Whoopie!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to send out a message saying

I love you all!
