weekend art project { mixed media }

This was my quick little weekend art project. I think it still needs some lettering and maybe a few doodles so once I add that it should be done.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

mini Cheesecakes { progressive dinner ~ desserts }

Over the last couple days I shared the desserts I took to our Holiday Progressive Dinner last Saturday evening. I posted my Cannoli Cups, Snowflake Cupcakes and now
...last but not least...
here are the mini Cheesecakes with raspberry topping.
For these individual mini cheesecakes I used a Nilla Wafer for the crust, topped the cheesecake with a thin layer of sour cream mixture and just before serving I put a dab 
of homemade raspberry sauce on top.  
A perfect combination!

Happy Wednesday!

Snowflake Cupcakes { progressive dinner ~ desserts }

Saturday evening was our annual Holiday Progressive Dinner. I was on the dessert team and made these Snowflake Cupcakes as well as Cannoli Cups and  Mini Cheesecakes.
These chocolate cupcakes are made from scratch as well as the creamcheese frosting. I also made the edible snowflake toppers and decided not use a template so they turned out similar however no two are exactly alike which I think is fun. 

I will be back tomorrow to share the mini cheesecakes.

Have a lovely day!

Cannoli Cups { progressive dinner ~ desserts }

Saturday night was our annual Holiday Progressive Dinner, which is usually in December but due to conflicts it was pushed out to January. The houses that were hosting left their Christmas lights, trees and decorations up to keep the occasion festive. Each year we choose 3 host houses for appetizers, main course and desserts and the remaining 6 families sign up to cook and help with one of the courses. I was on the dessert team again this year and offered to make cupcakes, cheesecake and these cute little Cannoli cups.
I will be back with my Snowflake cupcakes tomorrow.

Have a wonderful Monday!
