(Sugar Bee) We Go Together Valentine's Sugar Cookie Collection

I always have a hard time narrowing down what I want to create for the holidays....there are so many different cookies I want to make, but don't have enough time to do them all. So this year for Valentine's Day I made a collection called, "We Go Together". These cookies consist of some favorite combinations, in particular, Milk & Cookies, Coffee & Donuts, and Bacon & Eggs. I just love that these work for a spouse or significant other, but also are perfect for a best friend or child. They are just so cute and are all smiles....just perfect for that special someone who completes you.

{Sugar Bee} I'm Stuck on You Valentine's Sugar Cookies

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I was so excited to make some sugar cookies for this holiday! I have been dying to make some cactus cookies ever since I bought my cookie cutters a couple of months back. So one of the sets I created, I like to call my "I'm Stuck On you" cookies. They consist of two types of cacti....one is a larger saguaro cactus with a mustache and bow tie, the other is a potted cactus with bright red lips and a pink flower on top. These cookies work perfectly as a pair, but also are just as adorable individually. As an added bonus, I designed tags to go along with the cookies. For the couples, their tags read "I'm Stuck On You". For the single ladies, their tags read "Chicks Before Pricks". These cookies will be looking sharp as they are given out this Valentine's Day!

{Sugar Bee} Mint Chocolate Cupcakes

Just a sweet little something for a tasty Tuesday! I just love the combination of mint and chocolate....it is one of my top favorite ice cream flavors and my ultimate favorite Girl Scout Cookie! So of course I love to combine these flavors into cupcakes. Thus I have created mint chocolate cupcakes with a whipped buttercream frosting adorned with a Andes Chocolate Mints. So yummy!

 

 

Have a happy tasty Tuesday! Hope it's a sweet one!

{Sugar Bee} Superbowl Cupcakes!

Today is a big day for football fans....however I am not so much a football fan as much as I am a party fanatic. So though I don't really care for football, I do love having another excuse for throwing a party and for creating fun themed goodies! So this year for Super Bowl I (with the help of my baby girl....aka my baking assistant) created vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. The flavors are pretty classic (because my daughter loves vanilla) however, what sets them apart from the typical cupcake is that they are piped with grass-like buttercream frosting and adorned with mini chocolate covered Oreo footballs. I do love a little sparkle, so instead of creating the typical football with brown and white, I decided to use a little gold luster for extra pizazz. These are so festive and I am excited to serve them....I know my kids are ready to dig in!

So no matter who everyone is rooting for, these cupcakes work for fans of both teams. It is a win win in my book! Now on to the half time show (the other reason I look forward to Super Bowl)!

{Sugar Bee} Mocha Cupcakes with Espresso Buttercream Frosting

 

Anyone else got the Monday blues? It is Monday morning and I don't know about you, but I am so tired that I feel like I need another weekend to immediately follow the weekend we just had. So I can't think of a better time for a sugar and caffeine pick-me-up than today! These mocha cupcakes with espresso buttercream frosting will surely put a pep in my step, as well as my co-workers steps as I am taking them to work with me. Hopefully they will also put a smile on their faces as well!

 

 

Here is to a great start to the week! Happy Monday!

{Sugar Bee} Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Run Run Run, as fast as you can, because these Gingerbread cupcakes are so delicious!

My good friend is a December baby and every year she request gingerbread man cookies....and every year I am just so swamped with cookie orders that I can't seem to find time to make them for her. So this year, I decided that instead of cookies, I would make cupcakes! Boy was she surprised and quite delighted when I brought her these gingerbread cupcakes topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and adorned with a chocolate gingerbread man.

They were so tasty, that not one of these little guys were able to get away. These are the perfect December treat!
