Crushing on pics

Since its been so long since I blogged, just thought I'd share a few more pics of my life or the shop in other words :)

More to Come . . . .

Crushing on a year and a day

Well, I guess its been a little more than a year but what a year -

Things are fantastic and we are actually moving into an additional space in May - The little Sugar Pine Bake Shop in the Village - I will keep you posted - I promise, I'm not just kidding.

So lets see - Big Events Lately

• Supposed to go to Paris last April but the Ash cloud got in the way so we are going one month from TODAY! Ooh La La


• Doing desserts for Big Bear Lake's Man About Town next Saturday, March 12th at Northwoods - we'll be featuring mini cupcakes and loads of goodies - don't miss this chance to Taste your way around Big Bear and support a good cause


• We were asked to submit and audition video to Cupcake Wars - we had 48 hours to do it (and the video shows that - OUCH) but we threw a cupcake and champagne party to celebrate the filming so it was totally worth it! Want to see the video - search YouTube for Sugar Pine Bake Shop. I'm too embarrassed to post it here :)
  

We've been having lots of fun playing with recipes and trying new things - some of the hits:

• Hoosier Pie (we pronounce it "Who's Your Pie" with attitude) - kind of a cross between a creme brulee and a bread pudding - its latest incarnation has it on a snickerdoodle crust - YUM
  
• Black Forest Brownie - Tart Sweet Cherries combined with Creamy Almond Cheesiness and surrounded by Fudgey Brownie
  
• Cupcakes - Oh Yaeh, we've embraced them - we've had caramel apple, cherry cordial, chocolate covered strawberry, as well as the usual suspects - red velvet, vanilla and chocolate and our house favorite - pink champagne - its pink, its made with champagne- need we say more?


• Brioche Bear Claws - Home made almond paste, orange scented brioche dough and an almond confectioners glaze - is your mouth watering yet?


• Giant Chocolate Chip and M&M cookies - these we are working on for the shop in the Village.

So that's the quick update - I'm going to be better from now with telling you how it is. I'm also posting some fun pics just to get your mouth watering!

Celebrating our First Anniversary with My CREW - couldn't do it without them!
