It's snowing again! I think it was a little too early to bring out the Easter goodies...so I bring you some cookie monster cupcakes. I hear he has become the veggie monster since it's a healthier option.

Macarons and new flavors

I made some extra macarons while making dozens for my customer's tea shop! 

And some new flavors too :-)

New Cakes in the Shop

I wanted to share some (old but new) cakes I made over the weekend.

This is a slightly taller version of my previous hello kitty rainbow cake.

Unsliced carrot cake

Citrus cake topped with orange slices- perfect for a summer picnic!

 I made some eclairs and macarons for my American girl doll Saige.

Pistachio is her favorite flavor! (get crackin')

Each macaron measures 5/8" in diameter and eclairs are 2" long.

Almost February!

Getting ready for Valentine's!

Here, have some!

Figaro's

I need to update you on some new additions to the italian shop. I decided to go with "Figaro's" since it has 2 less letters than Geppetto's :-) Thank you to everyone who voted!

I made the store sign, but unfortunately it will have to be re-done (long story). I am thinking of a darker wood color than the black background. What do you think? I also added a "We are open" sign.

I also put price tags on the olives and fruits. Still need to make some for the cheese and meats.

Since I don't know how to make wine bottles (yet), I made boxes of wine instead. How slick is that? My husband says it's cheating...

I also have bottles of San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. Do you recognize the silver cans? If not, I don't blame you...those are "illy" coffee tins. Not very happy with them, but at this point, I really don't care. 

Last big addition to the shop is fresh pasta! I shooed away the bakery items and installed a pasta rack and a prep table. Still need to make some more...

It looks like this shop will be opening in 2013...at least before the next Winter Olympics... I hope!

Lemon Meringue Pie

When life gives you lemons, make meringue pie....

now I want some real pie!
