The Peanut Gallerie

Lol, I promise, it's all for a good cause. Plus there was an amazing sale at Safeway for cake mixes (buy two get three free)! I bought 4 for $11 and got 10! I couldn't pass it up.

I plan to make my cakes from scratch in the future, but this will help me practice my icing recipes and decorating techniques... plus, it was cheap.

I'm considering starting a side job thing with cupcakes. It's why I've been coming up with so many varieties lately. I want to do a catering thing for parties. Birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers... weddings if I get big enough.

I'm not into making cakes that look like things. I know, this fad has seemed to sweep the nation. (I want a cake that looks like a baby!) No, I just want them to look pretty and compliment the theme of the party (it's the designer in me :o) I've been looking at liners and wrappers online and different ways to present the cupcakes... like creating my own cupcake stand.

Most importantly, I want them to taste good. I think people forget that main part about cupcakes. They are sweet, portable little treats! They should taste like little drops of heaven :o)

So, while I continue to come up with a name, logo, image, audience and prices, I'll be testing a few flavors for those interested in being guinea pigs.

And if the catering thing never pans out, Sarrah says we'll turn the recipes into a book. I'm thinking unique flavors and amazing photography :o)
