United Way Cookie Walk 2016

I had the pleasure to be apart of a great event. This past December I was approached by the Outreach Director for the United Way of Licking County. She asked me if she could place an order for 400 cookies for an event called The Cookie Walk. She placed and order for 200 Oatmeal Scotchies and 200 Chocolate Chip cookies. I got really excited for this order not just because Oatmeal Scotchies are my favorite cookie batter haha but because of the opportunity to help out at an amazing event.


For anyone who doesn't know what the cookie walk is, it is an event that is put on by the City of Pataskala Ohio around Christmas time. They collect donations and canned foods to support the local food pantries. To participate in the event you can donated a minimum of $1.00 or a canned good. By doing so you receive a bag for you and your family to walk around downtown to the local business that have cookies out to help you fill that bag!

The cookies turned out great and the event was successful. I was so happy to be apart of something special. Giving back to the community is important and I am glad The United Way gave me an opportunity to do so. 


Baking is a love and passion of mine. It was extra special for me to share that and help out a great cause. Not to mention Oatmeal Scotchies are the best and you cannot go wrong with the traditional chocolate chip cookies!! 


"You can lift the weight of caring by doing."

Until next time,

Apple Pie Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting . These cupcakes were a HIT .  When you take your first bite of these cupcakes there is a surprise waiting for you.  When you bite into the spice cake you find an apple pie filling inside.

Pretty and Pink Smash Cake!

Smash Cake!!!! Have you all been to a little kids first birthday?? My first one was one of my best friend's little girls birthday party. It was so much fun to watch Baby Sky with her cake. At first she was caution. She was giving her mom a look like mommy what is this?? Then she tried a little piece of the cake and her face lite up. In her tiny human brain she looked like she was screaming CAKE!!!!! It was so adorable to witness such a thing.

Run for the Roses Bridal Shower

Good Evening and Happy Wednesday!! I had a high school friend approach me a little while back to make her sister's bridal shower cupcakes. Her sister attended Kentucky University, where she met her   Fiancé .  After they get married they will be moving back to Kentucky. As you probably collected Kentucky has a BIG part of their relationship.  The bride’s sister wanted to somehow incorporate Kentucky into the cupcakes for the bridal shower.  We made Run for the Roses mini cupcakes to add a creative twist to the bridal shower.

The flavors that she requested were Mocha Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and Strawberry Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting . With the frosting piped and colored to look like roses. These cupcakes turned out simple and classy....
