Penguin Oreos ♥
Oreo cookies are fun and nostalgic. ♥ But what makes an Oreo cookie more fun than your average Oreo cookie?Well duh, when you turn it into a penguin. Especially when you turn it into a double stuffed wonder-by stacking an Oreo that is also now a penguin on top of a cupcake. Doesn’t it make you feel double stuffed in that wonderful warm fuzzy happy kind of way? ♥ You could just eat the Penguin Oreos by themselves. It’d be like they are swimming in the cold arctic glaciers when you are dipping them in your tall glass of milk. Maybe Oreo should sell these, boxed up in pretty packages at Christmas. And for dessert..Penguin Cake Pops.…

Mini Raspberry Pies on a Spoon!
It all started on the 4th of July. I was walking around the 4th of July Parade with a little tray inspired by vintage cigarette girls.Way better than cigarettes, the tray was full of cake pops that I was selling.And mini raspberry pies that I attached to a spoon.As I passed the crowds in my white halter dress I giggled, “It’s the cupcake parade!” I got a few laughs out of that. I heard a lot of kids saying, “I want one!” Pie is good. Pie is great. So are cupcakes. And cake pops. Cookies. Sugar in general. There is this huge battle right now in the media. Are cupcakes dying? Is pie the next big “thing?” A lot of…
