A FRIGHTFUL PIRATE KITTY!

I just love Halloween and nothing charms me more than finding old vintage art to have suited these spooky kitty's flag picks! The colors were perfect and so was making these easy to do flags. Simply line a dozen up of these faces on a page of your PhotoShop program and print them out. I used a coordinating color to attach it the back since I like flags that are double sided....so cheezy when the flags have just one side. Then I positioned a wooden skewer and used a tacky glue { any form will do} to attach the skewer and the back side together. Just cut the edges evenly and tie with a coordinating bow! Pretty easy and just plain fun! I can hear the guests screeching for these cupcakes as we speak! Here Kitty! Kitty!

BOUGATSA! {A GREEK DESSERT!}

There is something nice about having the luxury of trying out a new recipe from another culture! A friend of mine who shares the same passion for both dolly's and food decided that we ought to exchange our favorite recipes now and then to try out. I was excited to see what she wanted to try out first as the Bougatsa was her selection! It is truly a wonderful and refreshing little dessert as the light and flakiness of the phyllo gently wraps a spoonful of lemon zested custard in the center of these bundles. I loved how one Australian chef interpreted the desserts untraditionally with the bundles so I just had to prepare them his way.....with the exception of course that I didn't use so much Semolina and rather sprinkled powdered sugar and more lemon zest instead of the simple syrup. 

Equally good in my opinion and will make this again and again!

HAPPY HAUNTS!

  Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen.

Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!” 

It is that time of the year to pick your poison from Ditzie Cakes!

INSPIRED......

Somehow I feel like I have stepped into a whimsical garden of pretty cupcakes in this picture! I may have been inspired by a little bit of Tim Burton and maybe a bit of Sheila Metzner by the use of golds and gritty textures in this photo. I have been a great admirer of her work since my days at Art Center- Pasadena!

THE DINNER PARTY.....

Something gorgeous and splendid I put together for a dear couple and customer of mine who were entertaining dear friends last Saturday evening! A collaboration of birthday's were to be noted so I hope that five beautiful candles were placed on this glittering chocolate ganache cake for all the Happy Birthday Wishes to be made! And so, speaking of best wishes, a very Happy Birthday to you Kacey Elkins! May there be many more happy days and happy memories to count such as this wonderful one! 
Love, Andie from Ditzie Cakes

A SWEET GIFT FROM A WONDERFUL CUSTOMER!

Truly, the best part of this wonderful business of mine is meeting the nicest and most heartfelt people! I am so grateful to always hear how an event had gone with hopefully positive feedback but when a special customer takes the time to wrap a small little gift with a personalized name card on it....well that just touches my heart! Thank you so very much Marianne for your thoughtfulness! I so enjoyed working together with you on your sister's bridal shower and putting together a special gift basket for your dear boss and his wife! What a joy it has been to create something memorable for each of these occasions as  the pleasure of working with you will always be near and dear to me!  ♥ Andie from Ditzie Cakes
