Rainbow cake!


I saw this idea online in a few places... so I wouldn't know who to credit as the original. So let's just say : this is not MY idea, it came from someone else.



However, i did MAKE this yesterday!! I LOVE how it turned out! I couldn't wait to cut it open and see the rainbow (colors are not in the right order, i KNOW). I just placed them in the order they came out of the oven. I was so amazed with it that I went around and gave slices to my friends! There are no pieces left today!

For the icing, I used the 7-minute icing recipe that Cindy sent me. It is a bit of a merangue type icing. Upon tasting, Maelie, who usually hates most icing, declared that this was the best icing ever! So thanks Cindy for sending it to us!

A little teacher's treat


I tried a new recipe yesterday with some of the apples we picked: apple brownies

They were incredibly delicious and moist! I ended up making 2 of them as loaves in tiny loaf pans I got at Michael's for 1.50 and brought them to school for Maelie's teacher and daycare provider.




They were still warm, hence the "fog" on the packaging!

Halloween Sneak Peek


Here are a few sneak peeks of my Halloween projects. I feel strange typing this on September 6th!! Halloween is simply a month and 25 days away. LOL This is probably the earliest I've started!!





I love covering the little Hershey's chocolates with Halloween paper. It gives them a whole other look!!
