In the mood for mini pumpkin cheesecake

My husband and I were sick for Thanksgiving so we stayed home and had a family dinner just us and our daughter. We were in the mood for pumpkin cheese cake but did not want to end up with a whole cheesecake in the refrigerator. I decided to make mini pumpkin pie cheese cakes, I had come across Bakerella's website and decided to try her little mini cheesecake technique I used my own pumpkin cheese cake recipe and a store bought pie crust and followed the simple directions on how to create the little pumpkin shaped pie crust. They were so fun and easy to make they were yummy too! My husband could not keep his hands off of them : ) that lets me know they were amazing. I popped one in my mouth it was a little bite of heaven. My Thanksgiving was fun we made a turkey breast, Mac and cheese, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and collard greens it all turned out so yummy and cozy it was a Thanksgiving to remember I Love You J and Malia.
We had one day to get this all together, we were supposed to go to California but we couldn’t because of the tiny yucky germs we got, so the day before Thanksgiving we were at the store getting everything we needed and yes it was super packed at Wal-Mart but we got it all done and had a great Family meal.

Holiday Flavors

I spent the day creating some holiday flavors I had a blast while trying to figure out what kind of ingredients I was going to use. I created peppermint, pumpkin and eggnog wow were these good! LTB got allot of compliments on the peppermint cake pop and cake ball, my personal favorite was the peppermint as well it was sooooo good. Overall they were all DELICIOUS, the cupcakes were so moist just like they should be.
I gave them away to my family and I got some great feedback which I love to get because it lets me know I’m doing it right especially if I get it right the first time. I have fun creating flavors that taste good, Kisha and I will be creating more flavors next week so we can have a huge Varity for our clients.

Craft Fair

We ended up doing the craft fair and it was nothing compared to what it was supposed to be. We did not get discouraged because it was not advertised as we were told it was going to be, but we sold more than any other vendor there. It was slow and not allot of foot traffic, this did not discourage us at all. It actually got us in gear to get our banner flyers and get our business rolling. Everyone loved our cake pops and cake balls they all kept asking how do you make these what’s the secret. We got to see so many different reactions and feedback on what flavors clients would love to sample. We are getting ready to do a dessert table this Friday I can’t Waite it's going t be so much fun. I am excited for January 2012 we will be hitting the town to launch the news about The Little Treat Boutique. I am so glad to be doing what I love! I can’t Waite until we are a huge success I have a great feeling it’s going to be very soon.
