Changed Name

Hey everyone,  Just had to let you kow that we have decided to change our name and add many new baked goods to our list of specialties. 

So to kick this off right I thought I would show you some pictures of our Halloween party and some of the very cool sweets we made for our guests.

We named these of all things "Goblin Booger Bars".  They are very similar to rice crispy treats.

Love to get silly and creative.
These vanilla cupcakes have little black and orange witch hats on the tops.  So the kids loved the food at the party and my daughter was happy.  I guess that is what counts right.

It has been a long time!

Life sometimes has a way of side tracking us. Fear not, I have not been idle and that is an understatement for sure.
The baking is still happening, painting, jewelry making and mixed media art work is still happening occasionally, skin care business is still happening, but throw into the mix another part-time job, a bakers cyst and what gets lost in the mix was the blog posts! 

 I know pretty ironic that the baker gets a bakers cyst right.  F.Y.I. a bakers cyst is not from baking....actually it is a fluid filled sack that you can get from tearing mucsles in your knee area.  Which is apparently what I did when trying to keep off all of the extra pounds I did not want to gain while indulging in too many of my wicked good goodies!

Well, I am here to tell you that I am making every effort to get back on track with the blogging! 

Since fall has made its entrance I have been experimenting with all things pumpkin.  Yesterday, I made pumpkin gingerbread waffles and a week before that I made Pumpkin Walnut White Chocolate Muffins with some butterscotch on top.  Who knows what I will come up with next!

Anyways here is a snap shot of those delectable muffins.  If I have inspired you to dust off your apron and pull out the mixing bowls I will leave you with this recipe.  Feel free to tweak it to your taste! By the way the white stuff you see on top of one of the muffins is some of the white chocolate that has melted. Yummy!

Ingredients:
4 oz.  Butterscotch chips  (optional for top)
1/2 c. walnuts coarsley chopped
1 2/3 c. all purpose flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. pureed pumpkin
1 stick of butter room temperature
5 oz. white chocolate chips

Directions:
1. pre-heat oven to 350 F
2. In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, spices, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3. In another bowl mix together the eggs, pureed pumpkin, and butter.  Mix until blended, but lumpy.  Then add in white chocolate chips and nuts.
4. Combine the wet with the dry ingredients making sure to only mix until everything is moistened.  Do not over mix!
5. scoop batter into greased or paper lined muffin cups.  Bake for about 20 mins. or until puffed and springy to the touch. Cool completely then remove from the pan.

If you are using the extra large muffin tin bake for 32 to 34 minutes.  Again cool completely in the muffin pan then remove.
From my kitchen to your kitchen.....Happy Baking!

Cold Oven

We are really into the summer swing!  Things have not really been heating up in our oven.  We did try out the rainbow cookies that I mentioned in my post, but was not too enthralled with the results....hence the lack of posting on the subject.  We did get an order for a wedding that will be taking place in July and we are very excited about that!

On the creavity front:  I am still in my groove to create and have been very sucessfull at setting aside a couple of days a week to be able to do just that...CREATE!  I have been so happy to have been able to break through my partial creative block and get the juices flowing!

I have been invited to do an Art Show/Side Walk Sale in Rhinebeck this August and know that if my current rate of production continues it should make for a large amount of inventory.

On the other hand, because I have had the time to set aside for studio days, it means that I haven't been as busy with my Skin Therapy Business.  I think in this economy people look at taking care of the largest organ of their body as a luxury.  I do want to thank my loyal clients who have stuck it out and have been very good about making it a point to keep me on their list of necessities!

Here is a picture of a new painting that I have recently completed.

Hope you take advantage of the great weather we have been having!

It's been awhile

I have been very busy with lots of art projects....but I have had enough time to bake and cook a little!  My daughter and I found a new cookie recipe to make rainbow cookies.  It sounds pretty cool and they look delicious....so as soon as we fire up the oven I will post the recipe.... some pictures to go with and of course a quick review of how well they baked up!

In the meantime let me tell you what has been going on.  I have all of a sudden hit a streak of creativity and I have been painting non-stop for the past 2 weeks.  I am so excited about the new style I have adopted.

Take a look for yourself!

I apologize for the glare....I had my camera set on museum, but apparently it didn't do what I had expected it to do...go figure.  Anyways go forth and create...that has been my mantra lately and that is exactly what I plan to do right now!

Artefactory Exchange

Artefactory Exchange is now accepting students for their various art classes.  Classes begin as early as June 8, 2010.  If you sign up before June 7th you will get a 5% discount on any class you pay for.  I am excited to announce the addition of 2 movement/exercise classes.  These classes will be put into the summer session asap.  The one exercise class is based on interval training, yoga and belly dancing.  Interesting combo....I am up for that!  The creator has named it "Dervish". Dervish will be taught on tuesdays in the afternoon. The second class is a dancercise class that will be taught by a woman who has a Masters Degree in Modern Dance.  This class will be held in the evenings and is a low impact exercise class.

Please keep checking out our ever changing website for our updates in the schedule!
