Black and White and PINK all over

So pink, so chic, soooo yummy! These were made for a young lady's birthday, who doesn't love polka dots?

purrr...fect Hello Kitty cupcakes

These were for my cute little niece's birthday. I hope I've fooled you all, but I actually am not much of an artist at all! I was a little nervous about making these look nice for her. In addition to the kitty cupcake toppers I put her signature bow on each of the other cupcakes. I think they turned out PURRRR...fect ;)

I Hope They Call Me On a Mission

When I got a request for missionary cupcakes I was so excited! I've been wanting to do some for a while now, and was really looking forward to getting them done. She showed me how to write their name in Kanji and I had the idea of making a fondant nametag. She also suggested the Japanese flag, and I attempted to make it look as if it were flying in the wind. I love the way they turned out, what do you think?

I have to say though, these came with a side of guilt for me. My little brother is on a mission right now. He's currently in Peru, on his way to Bolivia this week. I wanted to get some cupcakes to him while he was in the Provo MTC, but I gave birth while he was there and the c-section just didn't allow it. Now he's just too far to send cupcakes. Any ideas on what I can send?

Happy Valentine's Day

Well hello chEATday-ers! I know it's been a very long time, but our special delivery baby girl is here and I am back and ready to chEAT. For Valentine's Day weekend Feb 11 - 14 I am offering chocolate covered strawberries. I thought about writing a description of them, but they are chocolate, strawberries, and amazing-ness, oh and toffee bits if you're interested (my fav).


They are being sold $15/dozen, and for my blog followers, mention this post, and you can add an extra dozen for an additional $10. Contact me via FB, a comment here, e-mail me at cheatday@gmail.com, or call/text me at 801-360-1211. Contact me for delivery options.

*If fresh strawberries are not available I will contact you with other options.

Christmas Cookies

There's nothing like baking and decorating cookies that can get you in the Christmas spirit. I got this wonderful order for Christmas cookies for a church class. I originally was planning on doing all stars, but the hubba-bubba suggested throwing in some gingerbread men, Christmas trees, and snowmen. I'm glad he did, because it was really fun getting festive.

here they are on the pan:

and here they are wrapped up and ready to go:

My son got his usual sugar cookie snake. This is a great way to finish off the extra sugar cookie dough. I think I've got a prodigy :)

Heritage Boutique

What a weekend! I had such a great time at the Heritage Boutique. My chEAT treats were a hit (if I do so myself) and it really pushed me to my limits. Why you may ask?

-I was told by my hubba-bubba at 6pm the night before that chEAT day could participate

-I was fresh out of almost all ingredients

-I hadn't thought about presentation, what to make or a baking schedule at all!

Nonetheless, I decided I did want to participate. I sent the hubba-bubba with my shopping list (thx!) and started preparing for an evening of slaving away in the kitchen.

In the end I was tired, oh SO tired, but I pushed out 8 dozen lemon chiffon, 4 dozen strawberry covered chocolate, 4 dozen chocoholics and 50 chocolate covered strawberries. And that was all before 1am Thursday morning. We went and set up early after a few zzz's and hoped it wouldn't flop. Guess what? I nearly sold out!

I did a repeat of kitchen duty that night between different meetings and again the treats nearly sold out Friday! {insert happy dance here} I was so excited they were received so well and got to meet lots of great people at the boutique, and even better, 10% of the proceeds go to Sub-for-Santa. Thank you Heritage Schools for allowing chEAT day to participate!
