Unable to Take any Orders For a While

Hi everyone,
Yesterday while getting dog food I received a phone call from my alarm company that they were dispatching the fire department to my home due to the smoke alarms going off!!! I thought there is now way, it must be a malfunction, I had just left not too long ago. I called my husband and we raced home. The house was on fire and the dog was in the house. The kids and I prayed the entire way home while racing through traffic and all the road construction. I called my BFF and asked her to get to the house to get Maggie since she was only about a mile from our house. Anyway after we got there the firemen had put it out already and were trying to secure the home so we could go in. What Happened? Well the dryer malfunctioned and caught the whole laundry room, garage, bedroom and half bathroom on fire. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE YOUR DRYERS ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT HOME!  The home is not livable at all and we will be out for a minimum of 2 months we have been told. All of my cookie and cupcake stuff is stored in the bedroom off the laundry room (its my Crumbled Cookies Office) so it will be a while before anything is up and running again. Did I mention that we are due to go on vacation Friday?
The awesome thing is that what the devil tried to make a bad situation and God turned it around for good. Our dog was fine, we get new wood floors (ours go through almost the entire home) new carpet in the bedrooms from the smoke damage, new paint throughout, clothes laundered and brand new ones too, new insulation in the attic, new ac ducting, basically you name it we are getting it!
I'll try and post pics when I can. But have a fun and safe rest of the summer.
Blessings to you and your families.

It's been a while.....

It has been quite a while since I have been able to post. First my camera died (wow-I had no idea how much I used it) and then Thankfully I have been very busy with all of your orders. Thank you all so much for you support. Wedding and Baby Shower Season is definitely upon us.

Easter Egg, Bunny and Duck cookies

Such fun to make.

Thanks Kim, hope you and your family enjoyed them.

Cupcake Icing Styles

Recently I was asked about my cupcakes, I really have not had much time to post much about them. I plan on trying to post at least one new item to my blog a week. Anyway I was looking through my camara and found some pics I had taken of different ways I can do the icing and thought I'd add them.

I think my favorite is the white flower with sprinkles in the center. With yellow icing and black sprinkles it would look like a sunflower, perfect for the spring.

I also did some that looked like green grass with Easter eggs over the weekend, but my camera broke and I was not able to take pics before my family ate them up. I'll make more later and put the pics on here.

I have been talking to my son about what type of birthday party he wants, he wants a football and or baseball party. So I think we are going to do cupakes with "green grass" buttercream with footballs and baseballs on them, I can't wait it will be so much fun.

Thank You Kristen

The Vintage Pearl

I recently ordered my very first (but definitely not last) necklace from The Vintage Pearl and fell in love. I had the flower and circle one made with Reagan and Brock's name on it. I also ordered the flower for Reagan for Easter. I cannot wait to get something else. She also posted one on her blog that I want next, it is a circle with 2 hearts fused together.
Anyway I wanted to thank her for my beautiful new jewlelry, so what could be better than cookies ;)  I did large and small squares with her logo and her new "nest" design. If you have not already please check out her blog and website.

Thanks again Erin and The Vintage Pearl.
