This week I adore:
via Urban Comfort
I’m drooling over this black velvet cake from Urban Comfort. It’s a twist on your traditional red velvet with black food coloring instead of red and cream cheese frosting with some orange zest. Yummers! Continue reading
Yay! September! We are so close to being into autumn that I can taste it. Autumn is officially my favorite season of the year. Although they say spring signifies new beginnings, I have always associated new beginnings with fall. You start a new school year, and the funnest holidays start with Halloween and go until New Year’s. You can’t go wrong with fall!

This birthday cake at Apollinas (found via Poppytalk) is covered in gold glitter was inspired by a pair of Miu Miu shoes. The cake was pink champagne cake layered with peach preserves and covered in vanilla buttercream frosting. Absolutely gorgeous! Continue reading
Happy Friday Kids! I found some cool stuff this week..
via Paper Source
These cherry wood veneer leaf cutouts from Paper Source are so stinking cute! I can think of a million uses for them. They would be good on walls, on tables as scatter, you could use them to make some fall themed coasters. *love* Continue reading
There are so many great ideas and things out there lately, that it’s hard to choose just a few to highlight. Here are some that caught my eye this week..
I’ve been a reluctant blogger this week. Probably because it was a short week (everyone else’s weekend is my workweek and vice versa. Icky, I know.)
So I’m looking to my friends for inspiration this week, ya know, to get back into the ‘let’s create, then blog about it’ mood. Check out these projects and sites by some wonderful Arizona ladies..
via Sweet Rose StudioI love this girly clipboard Katie over at Sweet Rose Studio made for a Handmade Gift Exchange. She gives the how-to on her blog..While your there check out her awesome photography skills!
via Coffee @ ThreeHow cute are these canvas letters from Lauren and Michele at Coffee @ 3? Not only are they cute, they are super easy to make! Lots of fun recipes and projects on their blog.
photo by me; yumminess from Baked By JoannaJoanna from Made By Joanna is an amazing baker. She made the personal cakes and cupcakes for AZ Girls’ Night Out that I went to last month, and I’d be lying if I said I only had one. Seriously, I was a glutton and ate two of the Chocolate Caramel Latte Cakes, and I had no regrets. Oh and for sure check out this graduation cake..you’ll be amazed.
When your done eating your dessert first, dive into these healthy Creamy Chicken Taquitos from sweet Whitney at Turbo Bubblegum. They look so good. Whitney is probably one of the luckiest people I’ve ever met..seriously the chick wins everything. She definitely deserves it though!
Happy Canada Day kids! Oh yeah, and that long weekend we refer to as Independence Day Weekend has arrived. Are you ready for hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad, fireworks and freaked out puppy dogs? Yeah, me too!
via MomtasticI love this Fourth of July Star Jar from Momstastic. It is a painted jar with stars and battery powered candles inside..a safer alternative for the little ones on the Fourth. I think they would look cute lining a walkway or patio too. Continue reading
