Anyways, the way the economy is going nowadays and young couples still in love and still wanting to have something beautiful but a little more cost effective yet still elegant, might like to think about doing one of these great big cupcake platters. Also for the holiday this seems like a great idea for cookies and cakes and all that jazz (which I will definetly be using the next holiday season for the yummy treats I make, this year I found big red rounds tins at like Wal-Mart but seeing <strong>this </strong>full of brownies, fudge, cookies, and cake would be <em>way</em> cooler) I am just in love with the idea of cupcake towers and am putting a lovey tired cake stand or th elike on my wishlist.</div><div></div><div>Which already has like 13874647214 <strong>other</strong> things on it...but that's another post. =)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11056047416264571250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530243031880550557.post-22267157155739251492009-02-11T21:58:00.000-08:002009-02-11T22:13:12.800-08:00Valentine's Day!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVyFc44XEtblArnfwb9P4_gTHG3ShWi9ktEbod9Px6VS8Cx6WrNclHd7NrGUfXcZgwei5_p_aKT1FNq7_MSulZa1-SLBShBQUJSLOmkOTJlzpHIx7U3fwiVHfRbLLASleYagvJGVGeoUU/s1600-h/downsized_0209091049.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301789197500101698" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVyFc44XEtblArnfwb9P4_gTHG3ShWi9ktEbod9Px6VS8Cx6WrNclHd7NrGUfXcZgwei5_p_aKT1FNq7_MSulZa1-SLBShBQUJSLOmkOTJlzpHIx7U3fwiVHfRbLLASleYagvJGVGeoUU/s320/downsized_0209091049.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />For valentine's day we have really good deals going on at the store and that means good news for all those shoppers but bad news for us lowly workers. Today there were tons of single serve cakes, cupcakes, hearts cakes, mini heart cakes, heart cupcakes, round cookies, heart cookies, etc. to be made but somehow in the madness that was my almost 10-hour shift I got some quick shots of those sweet little sweets.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zaU5ATrVc5EzA4ags_f_eM5vNBz9PBNsCFkEuzz3X8Rplo96bvnGYf6Bv38BCF97CZlwq6QWu5mYQyEVEtYUIOgjFQ39InY0t6QrRsFxeZg7PdykEtYBIRqbIw4ZhRaMV7M99ylDxsY/s1600-h/downsized_0209091048.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301789195592959762" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zaU5ATrVc5EzA4ags_f_eM5vNBz9PBNsCFkEuzz3X8Rplo96bvnGYf6Bv38BCF97CZlwq6QWu5mYQyEVEtYUIOgjFQ39InY0t6QrRsFxeZg7PdykEtYBIRqbIw4ZhRaMV7M99ylDxsY/s320/downsized_0209091048.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHKHczFScyFGgxK7ayTMQuz2wfu5kZiZIwr0wL7JJFId6Dat9nvh82oMxnSD-uF9SPLDHCX2C1HQUGrh60RPM85BofwTllNAJ89jgZSVMr7-OZIF-W5rLteFhAGsGteaTHsG_VhnxOmuc/s1600-h/0211091512.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301789195035711794" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHKHczFScyFGgxK7ayTMQuz2wfu5kZiZIwr0wL7JJFId6Dat9nvh82oMxnSD-uF9SPLDHCX2C1HQUGrh60RPM85BofwTllNAJ89jgZSVMr7-OZIF-W5rLteFhAGsGteaTHsG_VhnxOmuc/s320/0211091512.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />One is fun to do.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEpPYy2KypMbJ3W-UvC16pe3tSl7ZRuFmz8ttLdm2aMoVADTv9LqLztZ8l-IGyenX_duN-A4M52kID6anFNTsEmsrwGWt2wFnCkMb88QeeTwC45cnZ3M6RRir2vLqDOP3EHuk1oz4mh7g/s1600-h/downsized_0211091512a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301789191819658418" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEpPYy2KypMbJ3W-UvC16pe3tSl7ZRuFmz8ttLdm2aMoVADTv9LqLztZ8l-IGyenX_duN-A4M52kID6anFNTsEmsrwGWt2wFnCkMb88QeeTwC45cnZ3M6RRir2vLqDOP3EHuk1oz4mh7g/s320/downsized_0211091512a.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />A couple more 'aint that bad.<br /><table id="HB_Mail_Container" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0" unselectable="on"><tbody><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFVaRwy46oW2uWlvTe52IOwuJPvic1pFXrNzfSAtY3Vebxim_jGIa8dvcPwBejoJMQwERMFErAVNBBjxZh9k3b_W3FaGkVggfeSZcWl-19UA01jhDRTA8YoWqR-k7scgebHuvQHiMR88/s1600-h/downsized_0211091512b.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301789191999781458" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFVaRwy46oW2uWlvTe52IOwuJPvic1pFXrNzfSAtY3Vebxim_jGIa8dvcPwBejoJMQwERMFErAVNBBjxZh9k3b_W3FaGkVggfeSZcWl-19UA01jhDRTA8YoWqR-k7scgebHuvQHiMR88/s320/downsized_0211091512b.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p></p><p>But THIS is <strong>insanity</strong>...haha work.<br /><br /><br /><br /></p><tr height="100%" width="100%" unselectable="on"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><td id="HB_Focus_Element" valign="top" width="100%" background="" height="250" unselectable="off"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></td></tr><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><tr unselectable="on" hb_tag="1"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><td style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height="1" unselectable="on"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div id="hotbar_promo"></div></td></tr></p></tbody></table>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11056047416264571250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530243031880550557.post-61210044590751921602009-02-11T21:47:00.000-08:002009-02-11T21:58:19.986-08:00Recent Cakes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTvfRkTb_QGU17-aRS00UheP5iihyphenhyphenbzTc4muS69XEWmiOQpNfvtZ54c9czuK3fx6GwAF2uWjMLJQixu0u6Z0a2V5-J7OQHsNJG7ercfZcQxESMRuma5IkJFFnqCFpzj2wi7MViUYrLfls/s1600-h/0126091423.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301784508689005106" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTvfRkTb_QGU17-aRS00UheP5iihyphenhyphenbzTc4muS69XEWmiOQpNfvtZ54c9czuK3fx6GwAF2uWjMLJQixu0u6Z0a2V5-J7OQHsNJG7ercfZcQxESMRuma5IkJFFnqCFpzj2wi7MViUYrLfls/s320/0126091423.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />So here are just some quick photos from some cakes I thought were worthwhile from work.
