New and Old Recipes

Last night I made my mom's Honey Oat Bread in my bread maker. To go with it I made some honey butter and some raspberry honey butter. My favorite was the raspberry and Mark liked the normal honey butter best but they were both so yummy! 

Today was our first day of our pact to eat in. I made Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas. I really liked the flavor of the chicken. I forgot to cover the enchiladas with tin foil though and the tortillas came out a little crunchy but they were still satisfying. I also made some cocoa brownie bites for dessert. I've made these a couple times before and I think it's my favorite homemade brownie recipe that I've had. I really like how they taste but they are very rich.

I forgot to take pictures of everything but all the recipes are posted on my Recipes Page.   :)

My brother is coming home!

YAY!! My brother J.D. is coming home from his mission in Ohio on August 6th. His flight comes in around 4:40 that afternoon. We are all so excited to see him! August 6th happens to be my dad's birthday too so we are going to have a big party with all of us and there will be lots and lots of cake! :)

J.D.

We have been in a bad habit of eating out almost everyday... It just seems so much easier seeing as there is just the two of us. We also thought that it was cheaper.... oh how wrong we were. We decided that it was time that we tried making our own meals here at home. I bought enough food for about 12 different meals and we'll be able to make each one twice. I tried to make it so that the things that I bought could be used for more than one or two meals. It ended up coming out to be less then $5 dollars per meal for the two of us together! Wow! They aren't just hamburger helpers either. ;)  Each meal looks really yummy and they are new. I found all the recipes from different blogs. So as we try out each one I'll post up the recipes if they turn out to be as good as they look.

Brownies, Etsy, and 7 eleven

The Sweet Tooth Fairy Bakery is doing great! This morning I made some ultimate brownie. YUM! We had strawberry cream cheese, chocolate cream cheese, and peanut butter chocolate.

For about 6 months I've been working on setting up an Etsy Store. I have my account all ready, now it's just a matter of getting some things up to sell. One of them will be felt cards like the one I made for Mark...

 These bracelets...

I also have something else that I'm really excited about that I'll have ready soon hopefully.

This is a gumpaste sheet that I made to place on top of my father-in-laws birthday cake balls. Yesterday was his birthday, 7-11 hence the 7 eleven logo :) I made chocolate in chocolate cake balls, red velvet in white chocolate and coconut in white chocolate.

Blog Changes

So I added a couple of pages to my blog so now I'll have a page for all my cake and a page for my crafts. Check out the cakes for some new pics!

My sister Shealyn and I made this cake while she was staying with us.

New Cakes

Work at the bakery has been busy but I am loving it!! It is so much fun and it is exactly what I want to be doing. I love going into work everyday. For those of you who haven't made it over there yet, you should definitely make a trip over and check it out. It is the cutest little shop. The word about us is getting out there and we have a lot of fun things that we are planning.

I haven't done any really amazing cakes there yet but I do have some coming up in the next couple of months. Also I'll be finishing up one for tomorrow that should be cute.

Here are the ones that I've made at home over the past few months.

I'll be making my first wedding cake tomorrow. Yikes! I'm nervous but so so excited! It's not only my first wedding cake but also my first cake made at The Sweet Tooth Fairy Bakery. I'm praying everything will go perfectly because it really needs to be perfect.
