Raspberry Mocha Cheesecake

First time attempting a cheesecake.

I learn some valuable things that I will take with me on my next cheese cake adventure.

I actually came up with my own chocolate sauce!

I was very proud of this haha.

To make it raspberry flavored I added raspberry jam to melted chocolate and butter.

It tastes devine! 

Cupcakes & Crochet

So badly I want to crochet myself a cupcake hat! 

I just don't know if i'm skilled enough.

I only know how to crochet one style of blanket but I absolutely love this! 

I don't know if it's to dory though haha.

My future daughter haha.

If I had a girl someday she would be drenched in cupcakes 24/7.

Crochet Cupcakes, They don't go bad!

Beginning of First (EVER) Abstract Painting

The past six months of my life have been hectic the say the least, I created my own art show and illustrated a book, I graduated college, I had a major break up and then found a new and better love, I've cried, laughed, and been taking chances and loosening up. I have been searching for inspiration all summer and nothing has came to me until now. I had the strangest urge to paint today and to paint vigorously. I have had so many emotions in my bottled up I just needed to get it out. I have not felt like this so I picked up the brush and this is what came out of me. Its just in the beginning stages but so far I am enjoying what I am making.

I'm naming it Wild Flowers.

Here are some close up shots...

Margarita Cupcakes

My birthday is coming up!

It's not till next week but I'm going out tonight to the local bars to celebrate with a few of my friends

I only thought it appropriate to make cupcakes!

I love margaritas so I decided to make margarita cupcakes, with actual tequila in them.

you defiantly can taste the tequila its amazing!

First start pipe the frosting.

This is my first time using an actual Wilton piping kit.

So much easier than I thought it was going to be!

Swirl design

Slice the lime

Place it on top where you think it looks good.

Add sprinkles to make it look like colored salt that margaritas usually have.

Next add a straw for a little of bit of humor and looks ;)

You're ready to eat/drink up!

Bar is ready ;)

Rough Sketches for Cupcake Logo

I am working on creating a cupcake logo for an up and coming bakery.

Not sure of the feel I want to give the logo so first I'm trying nail down a style.

My first cupcake is a creamy playful cupcake.

This is a more full and plump cupcake.

I would add more fullness with color

More boxy cupcake design. More classical and fresh.

Fun, Tip-Top cupcake. I like the balance this one is portraying.

This is a modern cupcake.

I wanted to make one that was abstract.

This is my cartoon cupcake.

Fluffy and fun!
