1-100

Going through some photos from the past few years I found a couple of cakes that I thought could be neat to post together...Cakes from 1-100!!  A 1st birthday and a 100th birthday!

 The cakes and treats that I make are for such a wide variety of events/occasions and I am so happy to be given such opportunities! So I would like to take a quick moment to thank everyone for thinking of MMB for your cake needs! I am forever greatful and always excited for new challenges!

Heroes in a half shell!

 I've had a few requests over the past year of ninja turtle treats!  So far I've done cookies(2015), cupcakes(2015), and cake pops(2014)...all thats left now is a cake....hrm...who will it be...? ;) I really enjoy making TMNT  treats..they're colours are so vibrant!

The cake pops and the cookies were both requested by the same little guy 2 years in a row on his birthday! What a sweetie! <3

Catching up with Christmas!

Okay - So I very clearly dropped the ball on Christmas posts so I am squeezing in some of my favourites from this year...well..last year :) I had a lot of fun with the cookies this year, and I now have 2 boxes of Christmas cookies cutters .....lol Yes some of them are multiples. This was the first year that at the end of everything I was glad that it was over. Normally I just want to leave the tree up...it's so pretty... but this year, I was itching to take it down! It just takes up too much space in our apartment!!!  So now Christmas is over, and the new year has begun...and here are my super fun cookies of Christmas just past :)

 I ended up taking so special requests this year - which was good and bad. It was good because it allowed me to branch out with different themes and colour schemes. It was nice to have some variety in decorating the same cookies over and over. It was bad because I let too many requests in - and different half orders with different requests. Personalized cookies is where it started to get to be too much! I had an order that got a little mixed up and it turned in to a hassle for me to provide more cookies to make up for missed names. As a lesson learned, when it comes to Christmas time, I will not be doing personalized cookies again. It took a little the fun out of it for me unfortunately.

Even though I'm pleased that it's passed, I do look forward to next Christmas so I can do it all over again! I look forward to new cookies :D I hope that my little Christmas post inspires a little joy in your Monday!

2015 / A good year...

 Happy 2015! (a little late) I'm sure you're all getting used to my blog tardiness by now! I was on the phone with my grandma the other day, who reminded me that some people don't have Facebook! Which is fair, it's a bit of a life suck! haha Anyway I thought I would get back to my little bloggy here...and let you know that I believe it's going to be a GREAT year! For me, for MMB, for everyone ;)

To start the year off with some sweet treats! Here are some new years cookies! They were my first order of the year, which makes me pretty happy as I've never done new year cookies before!





 I realize that my blog neglect means that I missed posting all my Christmas cookies! Do not fret! it's still early 2015... I have a little bit of time left to show you! I'll pick the best of the best for you to see! Stay tuned!

All Christmasing aside..

I understand that I've been talking about Christmas and christmas related treats since the beginning of the month...lets take a break from that for a little while huh?

In other news...my girlfriend is expecting a baby in the middle/end of January! :D Weeee! So before the christmas (sorry) holidays get really going, we threw her a baby shower at work! Of course I volunteered to make the cake!! :) Now, as much as its killing me!!! Her and her husband have decided not to  find out the sex of that little cutie!! So they're going with a jungle theme in the sweet little nursery, and we followed suit for her shower! (Even though we're convinced she's having a little girl!!!) ;) So here is her jungle theme cake :)

 I recently purchased an elephant cutter cutter for another baby shower I did, and I just love it so much!!! It is just the cutest little thing!

 I also attended her family baby shower this month and was asked to bring some camo theme cookies. The colour scheme of the shower was gray and yellow so I tried to pull those colours off with some camo onsies...I personally don't think it worked out that well...She originally requested the cookies before she was even expecting, based on a previous order for camo onsies that she saw me do...I should have gone with normal colours. They were still cute though! And a pretty big hit at the shower...

Below are the original camo onsie cookies that I made...

Oh Christmas Tree...

As you all know...this girl is getting pumped for Christmas! And to start the season off right, I've made 300 Christmas tree cookies for an event that was held last weekend! It took a very very VERY long time to get all these trees ready for delivery! But I made it just in time!!! (Seriously - I was up until 4am the day they were due!!!! And I worked on them again from 7-830. To say I was sleepy is a crazy understatement!)

 So off they went...

Get your Christmas cookie orders in today! ;) <<<--

C is for Christmas cookies!

Christmas cookies and all Christmas related things are just around the corner!!!!! It's finally here!!! Last year was the first year that I did Christmas cookie trays and since then I have been patiently waiting for this year so we can do it all over again!!! (Actually, last Christmas was the first time I decorated a cookie- well, aside from when I decorate with my mum...but that's completely different!) 

This week I've started taking Christmas orders and will be accepting orders until December 12th! I have new cookie cutters for this year AND new decorating ideas!!! I can't wait!!

xo

Trick or...nope...just TREATS!

This year is the first year that I've done spooky Halloween cookies! AND IM SO GLAD I DID!!! I hope next year I get a few more orders! They were so much fun to decorate! AND I used my airbrush for the first time on cookies! ...I love love love them!  They're so bright and colourful! :) I hope everyone stays safe tonight and has fun! :)

 I have never really been into Halloween much... I'm more of a Christmas gal.. :D But of course there is a part in everyone that just loves to dress up! Am I right?! Just play pretend, like when we were young. This year I find myself at a weird spot in my life, where, I want to get dressed up and do Halloween things. I want to hand out candy, and I want to celebrate with friends...but more than either of those, I want to have a kiddie of my own...a little one to dress up and show off to the world. As I scroll through my social media pages I see all these super sweet kiddies dressed up as animals or their favourite characters, and they just look so sweet and so innocent! It's a new feeling I've had for a couple weeks...I just...want to be a mom...

One day...
              ...But for now...

 Cinderella says Happy Halloween everyone! Keep it safe!!

Favours...

In keeping with our current wedding theme, I'm going to wrap up these posts with some wedding favours. Little 'thank-you's' for your guests to enjoy...they can be anything you like! Edible treats including, cookies, cake pops and chocolates, and of course they can be something your guest can keep; wine stoppers, bottle openers, photo frames...etc. Obviously, my favourite are the sweet ones! Here are a few that I've done:

 Currently I am in LOVE with decorating cookies!(It's getting so close to Christmas cookie season- I am just beside myself with excitement!!!)

 

 Cake pops are a great option for weddings too! My favourite part about wedding favours(any wedding favours) is that they can be anything you want! They can be little dainty items, decorated with lace and beads, or they can be themed! A treat that is specific to you! For example, these golden snitch cake pops were for my friends wedding, Victorian Steam Punk theme - BUT they happen to be huge Harry Potter fans!!(as am I) So they had golden snitch cake pops on their sweets table! 

In February we will be at the Sass Bridal Event in Oshawa with our pink table and plenty of  SAMPLES!!! More information as we get closer to the date.

A very special day...

It has taken a monstrous amount of restraint to not post every single photo I have...but here are some snap shots from our very special, very perfect wedding day! :D  Our photographer was Melanie Leutz Photography..And I am overwhelmingly happy with her and her work! She was AMAZING!

I cannot thank her enough!!!! The day started out (for me) at my moms house..getting ready with my lovely 

ladies and my entire family. For the first time in 30 odd years my entire family, on my moms side was all

together :D It was emotional. It was fun. It was family. :) We then headed over to Mill Run Golf Course for the

main event! 

This is our first ever family photo!! :D The tiny white dog up front is Molly (named by previous owner ...the 

jokes never tire) She is an extremely shy little girl! Anytime anyone so much as points a camera her way she 

hides, but for some reason while we were taking our family shots she came right in there, without being

called, and she sat looking right at the camera! Definitely a part of the family!

We wanted the ceremony to be catered to us, so we surprised everyone by having our officiant announce us
as 'Batman and wife' ! Then we stood there giggling for a couple seconds before our very first kiss as a
married couple!! :)

I am thrilled to call this group of people my new family! They are the most generous and kind individuals
I have ever encountered, and I could not have asked for a better family to call my in-laws. <3

And finally... made by yours truly..the sweets! I love the final products and am so happy to be finally sharing
these photos with you!! Our wedding favours were short bread cookies that spell love, with a single
chocolate dipped cookie in each pack.

 For the cake I chose to go with a naked cake for 2 reasons, 1) it was nice and easy for a stressed bride 
to pull off! haha and 2) I am in LOVE with naked cakes!  They are so pretty!! It turned out exactly the way 
I had pictured my wedding cake. I love it! 

 After all was said and done, it was a beautiful day! I am so happy with how everything turned out, I am so 

happy to be married to my best friend and I am happy that it is done!  WE DID IT!!

Hehe.

Love,

Mrs. Musclow... <3
