Be a Good Little Monkey!

At 8am sharp every weekday morning, my four year old tunes into Curious George on PBS to see what new discoveries he'll find that day. Now my eight month old is starting to enjoy the wonderment of that curious little monkey. So with two fans of Curious George, or rather three counting myself, I thought it would be a fun theme for my next FavorCake.


What an irresistible centerpiece for a birthday party or baby shower. Our furry little friend sits on top of bright red and yellow boxes adorned with tiny blue, green, and yellow pom poms. The entire cake is tied together with blue ribbon featuring that well known yellow hat. This colorful design offers 12 handmade favor boxes great for filling with candy and party favors.

I must add that my oldest daughter is my number one critic. After finishing a cake, I always ask her opinion since you'll never get a more honest one than from that of a toddler. This time when the baby saw the Curious George FavorCake, her face lit up with delight as she immediately began reaching for it. I think it's safe to say this one received two thumbs up :-)

They teach us, help shape and mold us, and make a major impact in our lives. We love our teachers and our school themed mini favor cake is a great way to show appreciation for a favorite teacher, no special holiday required.

This colorful design offers 6 small handmade cake slices great for filling with a few treats or little hand written notes expressing your thanks. Each slice measures about 3 inches long x 3 inches wide. Our mini cakes are 6 inches in diameter, a great little gift for someone special.

If you'd like to customize the apple shaped cake topper with your teacher's name, we'll be happy to oblige.

Is It Too Late for Valentines?

If you notice the date this entry was posted you might think I'm crazy for asking if it's too late for Valentines. At the moment, we have about a month until we celebrate the day devoted to love.

One of my goals this year is to have my FavorCakes designed and posted on the website at least one month before the actual holiday. Let me tell you, thinking one month ahead does something to your mind in relation to real time.

I almost feel like I'm a little late with my Valentines FavorCakes and now I'm starting to think about St.Patrick's Day and Easter. I kind of feel like the craft stores when they bring in Christmas items starting in October, however for a stay at home mom with two little ones to keep up with, staying ahead is a must.

So here's to staying ahead while remembering to still take things one day at a time ;-)
