Halloween Party

Our office at work is "partying" all day tomorrow.....translation: eating all day!
My contribution is Candy Corn Cupcakes, Treat Bags of goodies and Spooky Mini Peanut Butter Cups.
It may be hard to see but there are three layers of color...orange, yellow and white. Just a little fall touch to triple chocolate cupcakes. I used a chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding and threw in a handful of chocolate chips. Move over Paula Deen....there's enough fat grams in there to last until next Halloween.

Goodie Bags filled with more chocolate :)


Mini peanut butter cups with mini fun toppers. I needed a 1" punch but I didn't have one so I cut them all out by hand! These are a fun last minute treat for friends.

More From KandA!




In case you missed Monday's post I'm spotlighting a new Mom and Daughter team. They make beautiful cakes and cookies and other exciting projects! Hop over to their new blog and follow the girls. I can't wait to see what they will be sharing next! And A tells me we may have a "give away" in the new future. Oh I can almost taste those yummy iced cookies! Here's what A had to share.

Hello to all you Bella & Bambino followers! We are so happy to be "spotlighted" if you will on this awesome, talented blog! We've been a follower of Mrs. Karen's since around May of this year when were "introduced" through cookies. What better way, right? We are new to the blogging business but we are not new to crafting. My mother has been crafting for as long as she can remember and I recall growing up in a home where there was always a project going on. Fast forward to when I became a mother to a little girl and crafting took on a whole new meaning to us. We baked our first cake in November of 2007 for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We scoured the internet for information, bought a few supplies and went to work. It still makes a giggle a little when we think back that it took us two full days to bake and decorate a small 10" round cake! So that's us! Hope that you'll join us as we flip flop back and forth to baking and sewing and everything in between!
See you around!

Meet KandA

Love this cake! Isn't it perfect for a Sweet 16 Birthday?
I'm not 16 but I'd love it for my birthday, too.

I met this young, talented and creative lady on-line after I met her mother in person. They have a mom and daughter venture where they make the most beautiful cookies and cakes. I have tasted them and they are also super delicious! I want to tempt you with a picture of one of their creations but please come back later this week when "A" shares her story and more pictures of her fabulous cakes, cookies and parties.

Grayson's 2nd Birthday and Christmas Sneek Peek

Grayson had a celebration Saturday for his 2nd Birthday! His mommy did a wonderful job as always with her savvy party planning. She is so talented and creative. Check out her blog this week so you can see all the details of his Blue and Green TRAIN Party!

Elf shoes!! Just had to stop sewing pumpkins, footballs and baby things for a minute and try a new design. I used non-traditional Christmas colors.....rosey pink and green although this would look so cute, too in reds and greens. I have a little girl in mind for this one so if she likes it I will add her name in green or maybe pink and green.
Ok I did it now back to fall sewing......LSU, Saints, pumpkins, etc.
Have a relaxing rest of the weekend :)) Got a guest coming this week to my blog so don't miss her!
