Valentine Mystery Dinner!!

If you've never had a Mystery Dinner before, the names of all the menu items (utensils, too!) have been changed to silly Valentine-inspired names. Everyone gets a menu, writes what they want for each course, then they get served a mixed-up dinner. The kids loved it!

Here's what you need:

Puppy Love (Crush soda)

Cupid’s Arrow (toothpick or wooden skewer)

Love Trouble (jam)

Rising Love (roll or biscuit)

Melted Hearts (pasta sauce)

Angel’s Coiffure (cooked angel hair pasta)

Kissing and Hugging (spoon)

Girls Best Friend (Carrots...get it? "karats"...)

Persuader (fork)

Cold Shoulder (Ice Cream Sundae)

Heart Breaker (knife)

Snuggles (napkin)

Lots o’ Pick-up Lines (shredded cheese)

Wish I could take credit, but actually I got this idea from a my friend!!! 

I love her blog.

All the downloads (for the menu cover and menu inside) are linked on her blog

Hot Chocolate kind of day???

So, it's beautiful in Northern Colorado right now!! Sunny, warm....not a spec of snow.

Which makes me wonder why I have this major craving to sit in front of a fire with my mug of hot chocolate while the snow falls outside...

Knowing Colorado, I'll get another chance this year.

In case it's beautiful and white where you are or if your like me and want to 'fake it' anyway,

here is a fantastic recipe for homemade hot chocolate!

1 (1lb 10oz pkg.) Nonfat Dry Milk
4 cups powdered sugar
2 (8oz jars) Non Dairy Creamer
1 (11oz jar) Non Dairy Creamer, French Vanilla
1lb pkg. Chocolate Milk Mix

1/2 tsp salt

Mix all powder ingredients.  You'll want a LARGE container to store the extra hot chocolate mix in.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon....sit by the fire and enjoy!  At least that's what I'll be doing.

Well...life happened....

I haven't abandoned my blog!  Unfortunately, life happened...4 sick kids, too many snow days to count, a broken computer with Cake and How 2 pics on it. What's the saying? "When it rains it pours", lol.  Well, it poured.  Fortunately it has all been minor, but for the 

Sugar Mamma Cake Blog it's meant some delays. 

These are the posts I've been dying to get up! Computer with my pics will be up and running this next week.  Here's what to look forward to...

-My little Kimbree's 1 year old Neopolitan Cake!!
This fun cake is 4 teirs and is as tall as her.

-SUPER BOWL cake!
A colaboration of my husband, Brian, and mine! Can't wait for you to see it!

-The long awaited Love Bug tutorial!!
They turned out so cute and I wanted to have the How 2 up for Valentine's Day...you'll have to keep it on your list for next year.

-Our Valentine's Day 'Mixed Up Dinner'
A menu in the language of Amore' leaves your guests having to guess what things like Cupids Arrow, Puppy Love, and Cold Shoulder mean in english in order to get their Valentine's Day Dinner!!

-Sexy Valentine's Day Cakes
I had a couple last minute cake order's from husbands that wanted gourmet sexy heart cakes for their wives....when you see these, you'll want to replace your typical box of chocolates with one of these sexy cakes!

Coming Up......

February will be the first month in a monthly How 2 series!

What better way to kick off the series and celebrate Valentine's Day

than with these....

The Ultimate Princess Cake

As a baker I get to dabble my artistic interpretation onto my clients overall theme and sometimes very detailed specifications (which I do enjoy doing). That being said....

I LOVE WHEN MY CLIENTS GIVE ME FREE REIGN!!!

Which is what happened with this cake which I have named

The ENTIRE cake is edible; from wand, to tiara, to jewels....even the stars, 

(but don't eat those wire's...ouch)

It was so fun to create and I LOVED every second. 

(Okay, maybe not EVERY second, there were a couple bombs dropped

-like when the first tiara topper shattered-

but the result was worth the effort)

The cake was a strawberry cake with my famous cheesecake filling, 

so it was even girlie when you cut it open.
