A Pirate's Life for Me - Arrghh!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
I had the pleasure of making the treats for a fun Pirate Birthday Party! And it was not a child's party either Smiley This was a particularly fun order for me because I finally had a reason to use my amazing Silhouette Cameo that I got for Christmas!!! The Cameo is a cutting machine that works very much like a printer but that cuts paper instead. See those fierce little pirate ships to the left? Well my fantastic Cameo allowed me to cut out these shapes on cardstock and make some lovely little cupcake toppers!! Awesome, right? Smiley

I can't wait to have many more projects with my new Cameo!Smiley The possibilities are endless!! Is it weird that I am so excited over paper cutouts? I think not. It's pretty darn cool that my amazing bf can create an image in Photoshop and then my amazing Cameo can bring it to life!! I can see lots more cupcake toppers in my future. Did you have an event coming up that could use some delicious cupcakes with a custom topper?! I am ready for it, give me a challenge!

I really LOVED this order! It was so much fun to create the toppers and the X's marks the spot island cupcakes?! Perfect! I could not have been more happy with how everything turned out. I hope the party was a blast!

Not ready for fall yet - Lemon Berry Muffins

With most bloggers getting ready for fall and posting pumpkin this and that, I am not ready to go into the fall season yet. Summer berries have slowly started going off sale at the grocery store, and this makes me sad. Not only because it affects my green smoothies in the morning but because I love baking with summer berries as well. I am making this month the last of the summer berries recipe month! Let's start if off with a simple breakfast muffin. Lemon Berry Muffins, adapted from America's Test Kitchen 3 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 tbsp. baking powder ½ tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. salt 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt 1 tsp. lemon zest 2 large eggs ½ cup butter, melted and cooled 1½ cups fresh mixed berries 1 tbsp. flour

Strawberry Banana Bread

Let's continue the last of the summer berries recipe month with a great quick bread. My boyfriend can tell you that I have a tendency to buy bananas and forget to eat them all before they start speckling and then I just use the excuse that I wanted to make banana bread even though I really just forgot we had bananas. I really should start putting them in a more noticeable location in the kitchen. I didn't want to make my normal banana bread since I have been forgetting about my bananas a lot lately... so I looked around in the fridge and we had some fresh strawberries and I thought strawberries, bananas, of course those flavors go together! I normally put plain Greek yogurt in my banana bread as well but this week, we didn't have anymore of the plain yogurt, but guess what?! We had strawberry Greek yogurt! Strawberry Banana Bread, adapted from America's Test Kitchen 2 cups flour ¾ cup sugar ¾ tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 1½ cups very ripe mashed banana...
