Celebrations are the perfect time to serve cupcakes. They’re portable, individual servings of dessert that are enjoyed by young and old alike. Cupcakes are easy to bake and decorate, quickly. You know I’m a HUGE fan of homemade, made-from-scratch desserts that showcase the best ingredients and beautiful serving ideas. Our Christmas and New Year’s celebrations will certainly [...]

by Glenda Embree
Using some fantastic tools from Wilton, I was able to make our daughter’s wedding cake. It was a beautiful success, fairly simple to complete and helped us keep this wedding under our $2000 budget. Yes, we managed a frugal and yet, wonderful wedding at less than 1/10 the national average for weddings. I’ll be sharing [...]

I had so much fun, this weekend, baking with my ten-year-old. Earlier in the week, we received a special Easter basket, designed for us at Plastic Container City.

by Glenda Embree
I was going to try and do this cake decorating tutorial in one post, but it would be 27,000, 962 miles long and load so slowly for you with all the pictures, that I am going to spread it over several days and do individual tutorials for each decorating step we tried, whether we [...]

On March 15, 2011,
in Budget-wise, DIY Cake/ Wedding Cake Decorating, Giveaways, In the Kitchen, Reviews, Weddings,
by Glenda Embree
Our family is kind of crazy. You hadn’t figured that out, yet, right? We have all these silly inside jokes that come to mind or are used in what seem like unrelated circumstances, to most people. A few years ago, “To Kill a Mockingbird” was a homeschool reading assignment at our house. When handed [...]

by Glenda Embree
I have learned through this Homemade Holiday series, that I do fairly well at describing how to complete a project. Not having enough words has never been my issue. But I am still on the lower end of the learning curve when it comes to taking pictures of EVERY step of a project. Looking [...]
