Always a Blogsmaid Covers Showcase at Artez'n

From the "Always a Blogsmaid" site:

Sweet Dreams

...it was with great enthusiasm that we went over to attend the Artez'n event yesterday where our own former client Anna was pursuing her passion of baking. She recently launched Anna's Desserts and we went to sample the goods. In addition to wedding cupcakes, Anna produces amazing red velvet cakes, Pumpkin Breads and more, all made to order with about a weeks notice.
Here we are at the event and here is Mayra with Anna and Lib at their wedding (isn't that the cutest picture ?(by Karen Mordechai) Anyway, here's hoping that Anna's sweet dreams are as great as Rachel's!

Shannon's 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday Shannon Gallagher! Shannon's mom requested a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting made to look like an inner tube (as she was having a pool party). Since the party would have plenty of children attending, Shannon's mom ordered 3 dozen cupcakes too! Check out the pics - I think they're happy!

A co-worker ordered 75 cupcakes for her daughter's "13 1/2 Birthday Party" in January - pretty cool idea right? I made 25 red velvet, 25 vanilla and 25 chocolate cupcakes - and one queen red velvet cupcake - all with variations of blue and silver decorations - for the birthday girl.

1,400 Rainbow Cookies and Counting!

Yes, that's correct - - 1,400...I have received an unbelievable amount of support this Holiday Season - and I am thrilled about it. To date, over 1400 rainbow cookies have been sent out - ordered by my faithful friends who trust me with their holiday get-togethers, family gatherings and client lists! Thank you all very much. There's still 5 days to go before my last holiday request is picked up - ending the most busy, crazy and joyful baking run I've ever had. It takes a village - let me tell you. Please check back to see my photos and updates. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Welcome to My Desserts!

I recently had the pleasure of providing desserts for a Farewell Event at Bayards in New York and thought it would be the perfect event to start my blog.
The party honored the departure of a much loved and admired professional, and I hoped to create desserts that were worthy of the occasion and that would send him off with sweet memories of his time at the firm and of the evening.
I was blessed by my friend, Catherine Gallagher, who offered to take photos of my creations. She is truly talented and I have managed to bribe her into taking future photos (with promises of cakes and cream cheese frosting). Thank you Cathy!
The only request I received regarding the menu was that everything should be "petite" - the results are in the pictures below. Here's the final menu for the evening:
