I tend to update those a little more often than I can sit at a computer and update my blog! Come check them out!

It's been a while...

....so, it's been quite a while since my last blog post. Working full-time, plus baking & decorating has really become quite the schedule. . .I LOVE IT though! (Most days! :) )

There have been lots of things going on in the Simply Sweets by Bailey's Kitchen. We just added hardwood floors to the entryway, kitchen, and dining room. No more spilling frosting on the dining room floor! YES!

My husband did such an awesome job!

Dining Room!

Entryway!

Kitchen Floor!

Dalmation Cupcakes

Haven't updated my blog in quite some time, so here we are....

Baking business is BOOMING! Please forgive my lack of blog posts lately because of this! I've created so many orders in the past couple of months and loved them all!

In June, I thought I'd try a new mix on cupcakes -- Dalmation Cupcakes!
These are Chocolate Cupcakes with a Cream Cheese & Chocolate Chip Filling (much like Cheesecake) topped with Cream Cheese Frosting & Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips. To die for -- when served chilled!

I loved baking these, but decided on a different approach with liners on these. The paper cupcake liners were not peeling off of the cupcake how I would have liked. All the cream cheese was coming with the liner, so I used my silicone baking liners and loved the results! The cream cheese filling bakes perfectly in the middle, leaving me happy and lots of customers happy!

Snickerdoodle Cake Pops

One of my favorite cake flavors is.... SNICKERDOODLE! The mix of vanilla and cinnamon just seems to work together to make something unbelievably delicious! I love making Snickerdoodle cookies, cake, cupcakes, and I thought, "Why can't I make these into Cake Pops?"

I used my same thick, special blend recipe for making these, with just the right amount of cinnamon and some added sugar. After baking and cooling, the cake was formed into cake pops and covered in White Chocolate with some more added cinnamon.

These are truly the best cake pops that I have made, hands down!

Lineup for This Week!

Snickerdoodle Cake Pops and a Sports Themed 1/2 Sheet birthday cake are on the books for this week --pictures to follow!

Also working on my Ordering Page this week -- should be fun!

Updating!

Changing my blog up some! Look for my new and improved blog soon! :)

Bugs Bunny Birthday Cake

I had a special request for a friend's son. He wanted a bunny cake -- I froze. I had never done a bunny cake in my life!

I could totally do it though -- confidence, right?

Well, I had my mind set on making a Bugs Bunny Cake. Carrots, Bugs Bunny, the whole nine yards....but I had no idea where to start.

Looked online, did some digging and decided the easiest way to get the cake done.

Went through a trial run -- yikes, that was all that came out of that. :)
Finished product turned out AWESOME! It seems that when I need something done most -- I pull it together.

Lemonade Cupcakes

I made these for fun and they were quite delicious!

Starts out with white cupcakes, lemonade, sour cream, and some cream cheese!

I'm not one to like "dense" cupcakes, but these were different. Definitely going to try these again!

Strawberry Princess Cupcakes

I was asked to make Strawberry Cupcakes for a recent order and loved the recipe that I found!

The cupcake consists of a white cake mixed with strawberry jello and fresh chopped strawberries.

The frosting is a decorating icing and was so easy to use. I added shortening to the frosting mix to help it keeps its shape and a hint of pink food coloring.

The cupcake theme was focused on pink and princesses, so I added some pink pearls and some lovely crowns to top it all off!

Mini Oreo Cupcakes

I found this recipe on the internet and decided to make a "mini" recipe of it!

The cupcake consists of chocolate cake and a mini Oreo inserted into the bottom.

The cupcake is frosted with an Oreo Cream Cheese frosting and topped with a mini Oreo!

I had so much fun making these, not only because they were easy to do, but they were so yummy to eat!

Whopper Cupcakes

This recipe came out of one of my cupcake recipe books and is truly one of my favorite cupcakes!

The cupcake is made up of yellow cake, malt powder, and Whoppers! My mouth is watering already!
The frosting is a Chocolate Malt Frosting, sounds weird, but its SO GOOD! Finally, the cupcake is topped with crushed Whoppers for those with a sweet tooth!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes

I saw these on Pinterest and had to try them! Work seemed to love them as well!

The cupcake consists of a vanilla cake and cinnamon along with some mouthwatering ingredients to tie it all together.

The frosting is a cream cheese frosting with cinnamon and Cinnamon Toast Crunch pieces added to it and a piece of cereal to top it off!

A truly delicious dessert that I enjoyed making!

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

I love making new flavors of cupcakes and when I saw these -- I had to try them!

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes are made up of a vanilla cake and cinnamon. Yum, right? Even without the frosting, they double for a delicious breakfast muffin! The frosting is a cinnamon vanilla buttercream with a cinnamon sugar topping -- guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Black Bean Brownies

I was told about these at work and so I tried some and loved them. I had to make some of my own.

All you need: can of black beans, box of your favorite boxed brownie mix, can of water and you're set!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Drain your beans and fill the bean can up with water. Mix in with your brownie mix in a medium sized bowl and pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until firm in the middle.

Enjoy! Any questions, feel free to comment! :)

Funfetti Cake Batter Buddies

A friend made these at work and I had them already pinned on my Pinterest boards, so I decided to make some.

Super easy with only a couple of ingredients -- almost think it's easier to make this than puppy chow!

White Almond Bark, Funfetti Cake Mix, Vegetable Shortening, Rice Chex, and a little Powdered Sugar....so yummy!

Watermelon Baby Carriage

Last June, I was in charge of the fruit for my sister in-law's baby shower, so being the creative person I am, I wanted to carve something. I got online, did some searching and finally came up with what I have here.

Inside the carriage is watermelon, cantalope, muskmelon, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with a honey lime juice syrup.

Very easy to make -- once I carved the watermelon and scooped it out, the rest was easy!

I used a melon baller to make the fruit shapes. They're are a lot of different shapes to make the fruit. I just used the circle shape. :)

If you have any questions, or would like to know step by step how to make this baby carriage, feel free to shoot me an email or comment on this post!

New Blog!

I've taken my next step in my never-ending journey! Finally got the confidence to put myself out there as a baker. This blog will update, along with my Facebook page. May update the Facebook page a little faster though.

Would love to hear your thoughts and words of encouragement as I make my journey into the baking world! :)
