the treats:

the treats. 

Dog-Bone Sugar Cookies: perfect for a puppy party. we used Crystals amazing sugar cookie recipe. i'm not a sugar cookie person- but these i'd die for. the icing... now that was another story- but after a couple of times we got it. they were very yummy in the end. 

Cupcakes: we had a lot to make for M's birthday so we had to get started the night before with the cupcakes. grandma and i had so much fun making these cupcakes. i got the cool idea off of jennie slade's blog. i thought the tie-dye look was so cool. after icing them... i topped them off with some handmade cupcake toppers. i loved how they turned out. they were a real hit. 

Puppy Cake: i made maddex's cake.. that is all that should be said. it is not perfect, and not quite like i planned, but it is cute.. and he loved it. 

Broccoli Salad: and then there is mom's famous broccoli salad. she made enough salad for a wedding. i swear she was cutting broccoli all day- and man does it stink up the house, but it is worth it because it was so good. 

Thanks Mom and Grandma for helping me bake all day... it was so much fun- I'll never forget it.
