Jungle Baby Shower Bliss


I love the shadow effect.

While many of you were prepping for Halloween parties on Saturday, I was at a baby shower for my cousin.  My cousin and her mom threw a nice party. Loads of food, yummy cake, fun games and cute decorations. 
Grab your Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate and enjoy the baby shower. 

Balloon greeting as you walked in the door
Diaper cake. Everyone who brought diapers was entered into a  drawing for a prize. 

My aunt had a great spread of food. No one went home hungry. 

Who's ready for some cake?


My cousin had blank bibs and onsies for every one to decorate.  What a fun memory :)

Congratulations Cousin!  It was a fun  and colourful shower.
p.s. my cousins babies coloures, hot pink and lime green were my husband and I's wedding colours. GREAT choice ;)

Cake Poppin Halloween FUN

I was just in Seattle with my aunt to visit my cousin.  We stopped at a Safeway and of course I HAD to look at the Halloween goodies.  Look what I found!
Cake Poppin Halloween fun!   Get yourself to Safeway and pick up one of these.
Just make the cake pop mix like you always do and press into these spooky forms.
Look at the Halloween spookiness you can create!  Perfect for kids who want to help too.

The Carving of Pumpkins

This last Saturday in the Portland, Oregon area would have been PERFECT for a pumpkin carving party.  It was the absolute best fall day.  I was considering having a pumpkin carving party that Saturday but I was in Las Vegas the weekend before, 2 of my friends don't even have gas money to get out to my house, 1 friend is no longer in the state and another friend is in the process of moving. Sometimes parties just don't happen even though you have all the ideas in your head for a fun one. 

We'd go out to the pumpkin patch and pick the best little pumpkin to carve than back to my house for snacks and a Halloween movie. 
A Halloween cocktail would be served such as this fun Vampire Cocktail 

Some Mummy Pizza to fill us up after traipsing through the pumpkin patch

Of course you have to have some pumpkiny goodies at a pumpkin carving party

Pumpkin Fudge from Recipe Girl
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles from Lillyella 

And of course pumpkin pie and pumpkin cookies. Be sure to send your guests home with pumpkin bags filled with all the delicious pumpkin treats they didn't have room for. 

I really do miss not having a pumpkin carving party this year. Next year I'll have to for sure.

Woo Hoo!! Wednesday

Short Woo Hoo!! Wednesday post today. I'm battling my first fall cold and it's making me sleepy. Actually, it's making me want to sit on the couch under my Halloween blanket and watch a movie. 

I just got back from a quick trip to VEGAS, Woo Hoo!! Had a lot of fun. Of course  I had to track down a cupcake shop while I was there :)  

Gigi's  is located just off the strip.  We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and they were wiped out! I got the last Boston Cream, mmmm.



These Peppermint Patty cupcakes look delicious too. I'm getting a sugar high just looking at them!


My breakfast Monday morning as we waited for our flight. My Boston Cream.   I was too stuffed from dinner on Sunday to eat it. Yes, I know. How could one be too stuffed for a cupcake!  The cake was really moist but I wished there was more cream.  I love when you bite into a Boston Cream and the filling just oozes all over. No oozing with this cupcake :( Perhaps I need to try making my own Boston Cream cupcake.

Woo Hoo!! Wednesday

I have competition now.  At work. With cupcakes. 

I'm always trying new recipes and bringing the cupcakes to work for the guinea pigs  
co-workers to try.  Monday when I came to work, what's this?
Is that a cupcake I see?

My new co-worker Rosalia made cupcakes and brought them in to share. Woo Hoo!!!
How cute are these little panda's she made?
I think I can handle a little competition ;)
