PEPPERMINT KISSED DITZIE POPS!

There is a constant need to make something better than the last time! I really liked how my brownie pops looked the day of my Halloween party.....but I really like the way these taste! It has a nice surprise of crushed peppermint rolled onto the double dipped layers of white chocolate! Uh....yum!

MARC WEISBERG MAKES DITZIE CAKES LOOK FABULOUSLY GOOD!

This has got to be by far the most beautifully captured Wedding I have ever seen! Not only are the couple just as beautiful but so are the people whom I have been so priveledged to work with on this day. The talented Marc Weisberg photographed the day and I was so lucky to have received these photographs from him just recently. This little cupcake baker's battery was not fully charged and I was extremely disappointed living with that thought so I ran up to Marc (as he was busy working!) and asked him for a few good shots for me! After I heard that Amy Kuchta said Emily and Brian hired the best of the best photographer I felt rather intimidated..... but he was so thoughtful and I can't thank him enough!!!! I have to laugh at loud, but I heard that Emily was persistent about getting more shots of the cupcakes that evening. I was overwhelmed to see how many he photographed....LOL!

I also would like to thank the talents of Debbie Jacobson from Flower's Etc. who as you can see the arrangements are just stunning. Debbie has been a great support to ditzie cakes and has also topped my cupcakes an extra notch with those beautiful fresh flowers! I owe her big time!

And here is the beautiful Amy Kuchta......the event planner extrordinaire! These fine people made this day perfect! My gratitude to you all for being able to be a part of working with the best people! My only wish is to be able to have another chance to do it all again someday!

AN ANTHROPOLOGIE CHRISTMAS WHIM!

I absolutely love my darling four foot Christmas tree this year! Every year there seems to be a new way to decorate the little West Elm silver branched tree. It was going to remain all silver until I made a small purchase from Anthroplogie. It started with the two girls and then when I saw that they were on Sale .....well I just couldn't resist to obtain a few more that I had my eye on!

Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday and may health and happiness continue throughout the New Year!

THE MCLAUGHLIN'S CHRISTMAS PARTY!

These bottle brush trees came a little too late for the photoshoot I did for last's Christmas holiday website.....however they are still so darn cute! Yes, I bought them off of Etsy once again and they came all the way from Ontario, Canada. They are nice little vintage pieces that I might use again for next year's holiday.
So, it seems every year that the McLaughlin's like to celebrate "huge" for Christmas. This is my second customer order from this terrific lady who let me plan the menu for all of her 175 guests!
Happy Holidays and hope that I see you again in the New Year! I really think that would be terrific!
