Can you believe November is almost over?? Where has this year gone?!?! With December 1st fast approaching and having purchased a good chunk of Christmas gifts yesterday I can say that I’m ready for the festivities to begin J But before I get ahead of myself going on about December I should re-cap last week!
First off last week was the monthly Heartlink Networking Event that I attend and to stay within the category of Fall, being careful not to jump into Christmas too early, I wanted to make a cupcake recipe with apples. I made Martha Stewarts (of course, she’s always my go to) Apple Cupcakes and they were fabulous, so insanely moist. One of my fellow networkers actually commented that it is her favourite cupcake that I’ve made to date. You can find the recipe here, try it out and let me know what you think.
Next I had an order from a co-worker, it was his girlfriend’s birthday and she loved the cupcakes he brought home from the Movember Cupcake Sale so he ordered some for her. Her favourite colour is pink, so I made pink frosting, which meant that all the cupcakes I made that week, had pink frosting.
Lastly I made a cake for my friend’s sister’s birthday. They love to go Geocaching together, so my friend had a design in her head that she wanted me to re-create. She sketched the cake for me, which included the Geocaching logo on top with co-ordinates on each side of the cake, and these co-ordinates would lead her sister to her birthday gift. From what I heard it was very well received, which I always love to hear!
It was a small order weekend, which is to be expected in November, but it worked out well because after work on Friday Brad and I made our way to Whistler to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We had a visit with my cousin on Friday night and then a beautiful stay at the Delta Whistler Hotel on Saturday where Brad treated me to an amazing dinner at HY’s Steakhouse; I have never had such an amazing meal or weekend for that matter. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years, time flies when you’re having fun xoxo
This week instead of a photo of Hank, I have a photo of his half sister! Let me introduce to you my cousins cat “Johnny Cat”!
Stay tuned next week for some photos from our search for the best Christmas Tree at the Alouette Tree Farm. Also don't forget to come by and say hi this Sunday at our Cakelicious Customer Appreciation Open House. You can RSVP here.
