Cookies, cookies everywhere....

I just finished 400+ sunflower cookies for the Keller High School Band Banquet. I realized Wednesday night, that is over 6400 petals that I piped. I know it doesn't end world hunger or anything, but part of me feels like freakin' wonder woman. I don't know quantum physics or how to climb Mt. Everest, but if anyone ever needs anything piped with royal icing through a leaf tip, I'm your gal. :)

Believe it or not, the decorating was the easy part of the week. The hard part was coordinating baking, storing, icing, drying, bagging, and then boxing in the small space I have to work with. Thank goodness I am a problem solver and organized. And after tackling 400+ sunflower cookies, I'm in for whatever. Which is why I didn't even blink at the 100 football booster cookies request from my friend Caprice. I'm so glad she asked AFTER the sunflowers...

I have 2 fondant cakes to do next week, and I am looking forward to it. The week after I bet I will be wishing for more cookies to decorate, or cupcakes to make. I get bored and distracted easy, which is what makes me a great baker, because.... oh look a squirrel!... now what was I saying?
Hey, did you ever want to see how 400+ cookies look ready to be transported?

You're welcome :)

Have a great weekend!!!

A wedding to remember...

One of my best friends, Sarah, got married this past December. I was lucky enough to get to do all of her cakes and desserts for the reception and gift bags. It was the biggest order I've ever done, and it was so amazing and wonderful to get to be a part of Sarah and Jeffs' special day. My frIend, Ashley Rutland, who owns Ashley Rutland Photography, did the photos for the wedding. She is an amazing photographer in the DFW area and if you're around here you should really check her out! www.ashleyrutlandphotography.com Ashley had a friend of hers, a blogger named Kim, do a write up of the wedding. Kim's an amazing mom, wife, and blogger, and you can read her blog here at: http://adventuresinimperfectparenting.blogspot.com I wanted to share her write up with you. It really encompasses the atmosphere and feeling of the wedding, and Sarah and Jeff as well!! Winter weddings always seem to capture a certain type of elegance that can only be enhanced by the magic of the ...

Why are there not more hours in the day?

How do people do it? I see all of these amazing women on instagram every day and they look perfect, their kids look perfect, their houses look perfect, their businesses are bigger than mine, and they do it all with a huge smile on their face. Sometimes I can't get out the front door without the kids having WWIII, dropping my purse, dropping my phone, and at least someone (usually me) crying in the process. Maybe it's easy to look perfect when all people are seeing is a photo glimpse into our lives once or twice a day. But sometimes it just seems that I am hanging on by a thread. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side, I remember when my kids were small and everyone constantly asked me, "How do you do it???" I have 4 kids. My oldest, he is 17. I have twin boys who are 12, and the baby girl is just about to turn 11. Yes, I had 3 in diapers at one time. Yes, I know what causes babies lol. I remember constantly being a...

Favorite Cakes of 2014

2014 was a crazy year for me over here at Sugar Cubed Bakery. I technically "started" the bakery in 2013, so I had a registered bakery name and got my food handler's license, but I didn't start getting the home bakery out to the public until early 2014. I needed that year to sort of get my bearings, get comfortable with my work and techniques, figure out what to charge, and how to manage my time etc. I didn't want to rush into taking a bunch of orders and get overwhelmed. So after a year of "growing", I started the website, along with social media, and never looked back. So when I decided to do a "Favorites of 2014", I was surprised that all of these cakes were in 2014. It feels like ALOT longer than a year ago or less that I made them. So much has happened since then. And yes I know it is almost April and everyone else's BEST of 2014s were put out in January... I'm still catching up people! lol Just be happy I'm bloggin...
