Trick - or - Treat?

Trick-or-Treat?  Well, of course I would have to say Treat! Are u looking for the perfect complement to your holiday bash or simply looking for some ghoulish treats for your children or friends? The perfect solution is here.


I am currently taking orders for the Halloween holiday. A variety of boo-tiful cookies and creepy cupcakes are available for 50 TL/dozen or 25TL/half a dozen.  You may include all cookies, cupcakes or a combination of both for your order.

Need a gift?  How about a Halloween treat basket for only 25 TL? 
Each basket includes the following items:
2- Halloween Fondant Cookies
1- Popcorn Treat Bag
1 -Assorted Candy Treat Bag
1- Plastic Vampire Fangs
1- Plastic Spider Ring
1- Halloween Pencil                               

Sound like a perfect idea?  Click here for some more gruesome details!


Thanks & Happy Halloween!

May the force be with you

Star Wars rocks my son's world these days so he was quite
jealous when I made this cake.  I decorated this cake with
the cool blue and rockin' red light sabers - gotta have these, right?
To get the glitter look, I first rolled out the fondant. Secondly, I used a fine bristled paint brush and "painted" the fondant with the glitter (I used Wilton's edible glitter dust in Silver). When finished, I used a star cookie-cutter for the stars.
Happy 6th Birthday, Arda!

Lil' Rock Stars are born not made
