I have to share this

I *literally* squealed when I saw this.
I debated putting it on here, because if someone buys this before I get a chance, I am going to be a sad little cake decorator.

If you are a fan of patisserie, I don't have to tell you this, but if you don't recognize these little bites of heaven, they are macarons...except these little guys are made of polymer clay, and are a bracelet! CAN YOU STAND IT!?? I MAY START SQUEALING AGAIN!!

So that you can enjoy the lovely work of this artist your self, check out her Etsy shop "Le Pink Chocolat"

But don't you dare buy this bracelet - it's MINE!!!!

This may seem like a random post

since it features our new driveway :) There really is a reason for showcasing this baby though! read on...

So this may look like a gravel drive, but in fact, it is comprised of crushed cement. Normally, when constructon requires removal of cement, that is something that would end up in a landfill. Someone had the ingenious idea of crushing it, and selling it to be used for things like gravel drives. Huzzah!

I really wanted to include it in the blog, because sometimes there are options for being "green" that you aren't even aware of. I certainly had never heard of recycled crushed cement, but I am glad we learned about it - it fits right in with our philosophy.

The best part is, not only was it less expensive (!!! How often would you love to choose the "greener" option, but find the cost so prohibitive you can't), it looks absolutely beautiful.

BTW, we would like again to say a HUGE thank you to our installer. He was a dream to work with, and the only cost was to give him a place to sleep. Thanks again, Dad!

I never get tired of these

Topsy-turvy, alice in wonderland, whimsy, whatever you like to call them, I just love them. I could never do enough...which is good, because I do about 3 a week :)
Here a pretty one for fall, with some fall leaves. Actually, another cool thing about this cake is that it was made with 100% "white" whole wheat flour, which is all I use at my home. It is not heavy or dense like regular whole wheat flour, and it is not noticable taste-wise either. If you want to eat more whole grains, try this stuff. It is truly FANTASTIC.

I do a bit of poking around on the web when I have the time, and I love to find blogs or wedding sites from brides and grooms that have one of our cakes posted. I don't post links to private sites like that (although if a couple would like to provide a link in the comments I would love that!) Here is one that happened to be on a wedding photography site, which I have c+p to protect the couples privacy, and if you are getting married, and like the photo as much as I do, check out thier work at http://www.hinkleyphoto.com/ I feel like I am supposed to post something Red Sox related, but we do *so* many Red Sox themed cakes I don't usually take pictures of them. These are the only ones I can find, sorry!

Go Sox!
