Cake Byte: Brand New CakeSpy Felt Ornaments, and a Giveaway!
Thursday, September 24, 2009 
I'm so excited about these new Cuppie ornaments that I can't even come up with a dessert-related pun!
This is a sweet ornament version of Cuppie the Cupcake! This felt puffy ornament is made of layered pink, grey and red felt, finished with embroidery for the eyes and cupcake cup detailing, and of course the pink frosting has some shimmery glittery finish! It measures 3.5" tall. This ornament isn't just for Christmas--it will add sweetness when hung from a window or keep you inspired if hung in your cubicle!
And, happily, they were made in collaboration with local company Party Partners! To purchase, visit cakespyshop.com.

brownie yum:]
I had "Half Baked Alaska" at a restaurant called Baked Alaska in Astoria, Oregon. It wasn't the standard: giant chocolate chip cookie, vanilla ice cream, and walnuts all cooked in brandy and served flaming at the table. Cookie was too soggy, but ice cream was delish!
Well, the last dessert was chocolate peanut butter ice cream, but that's not really a baked good! Last baked good was Mexican corn and cheese bread from the Moosewood cookbook.
gorgeous! i love little cuppy cake! I'll have to get me some of those!
i last had mom's fantabulous pumpkin chocolate chip cookies...only this time made by me -- are they still mom's then???? ;)
Ooh the last dessert I had was a whipped cream/cream cheese pie with fresh cut strawberries....mmmmm :)
Yesterday I made Devils' Food Cake cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting. Turned out yummy!!! Before that was Cotton Candy Cupcakes with pictures on my blog!!
The last dessert I had was a lemon bar that tasted like a lemonhead, not so good! I need to get the bad taste out of my mouth!
Homemade Brownies
Those ornaments are SO ADORABLE! Definitely going in someone's stocking this Christmas!
I had some homemade chocolate pudding yesterday, but have otherwise been sustained by cereal. I have big plans for muffins this weekend though. :)
I made and, of course tasted, cheesecake-swirled brownies. Yum!
mini chocolate-chip pancake muffins! Just typing that makes me want to make more!
Cupcakes, natch! I. love. my. job.
:D
(and if we're being specific here, cotton candy cupcakes).
creme brulee!
leftover cake scraps from the football shaped cake I made
I wish it was cupcakes but alas it was wedding cake from a wedding I attended in Capital Hill on Saturday. The dinner was not so great so I consumed two pieces of cake to make up for that. The carrot was good but the frosting was overly sweet buttercream and creamcheese would have made it tastier. Chocolate cake was a bit dry but the raspberry filling was to die for so I forgave the cake, of course :) If I ever get married it will be Trophy Cupcakes for all!
That is the most darling cupcake ornament I have ever seen! I love the sparkles.
The last dessert I ate was a slice of my very first attempt at a baked cheesecake...vanilla spice baked cheesecake!
A slice of my mom's cardamom bread, spread thick with some apple butter I bought at a craft fair. SO GOOD
I baked some deeeeeeeee-lish devils food cupcakes with cream cheese icing and had one for breakfast today :)
The last baked good I ate was the scraps leftover after levelling an Italian Cream Cake I baked for someone else. I happened to have some cream cheese filling in the frig. Put those two together...yum.
I last made a pineapple coconut cake... delicious!
I just had a s'more bar!! Sooo good
I made my grandmother's recipe for hot milk cake with chocolate frosting. Yum!
I made a pan of vegan oatmeal fruit cookie bars yesterday as a trial for a friend. They came out SO good.
It's not a baked good, but I had key lime ice cream last night. And it was delicious.
a red velvet whoopie pie from Wicked Whoopies at the Big E!!! SO GOOD!
