Holidays Are Upon Us

It has been such a long time since I have posted to this blog, and for that, I apologize.
I have been caught up in moving and career changes for the past year and well, time got away from me.

With that said...IT'S HOLIDAY SEASON!!  Who else is extremely excited for the temperature change, the warm pumpkin and cinnamon smells coming from the oven, and sweaters? 

I can't wait to start taking orders for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!  Hellllooooo amazing treats and a house that smells just as good because of it.

Pumpkin items may not be on my menu, but rest assured, I will make them:

Pies
Bars
Cupcakes
Cake Balls
Whatever your fall/winter season heart desires!

Let me know your preferences or any ideas and I'll be happy to accommodate to the best of my ability.

Here's to a new season and hopefully more blogs!
Photos of recent creations to come soon.

Fairwell to 2011

2011 was a very VERY good year to my husband and I.  We overcame a ton of obstacles and see many more ahead of us in the future.  However, we are looking forward to these obstacles as it is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.  We have become stronger through everything life has thrown at us and we know that no matter what lies ahead, as long as we have each other, stay focused and true to ourselves, we can do anything.

2012 is bound to be another wonderful year for Adam and I.  Resolutions are in the making and we are sticking to them this year!  I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year and makes it a fantastic one!!

A look back at the 2011 flavors
Mo's Doughs put out some awesome flavors this year: Strawberry Lemonade, Vanilla Peppermint, Andes Chocolate Mint, Strawberry Vanilla, Peanut Butter & Chocolate, Pumpkin and Maple, Cheesecakes with Pumpkin Pie Frosting, Coconut, Reeses Toffee Crunch, etc. etc.!!  I had so much fun being creative and making these fun flavors for my amazing customers.  Thank you everyone for supporting me and allowing me to be a part of your celebrations.  I hope to continue to provide my services for a long time....and hopefully one day - full time!  Wishful Thinking!

Over Indulgence

As a figure competitor, I am strictly limited to sugar intake during competition season...meaning, I don't get to eat any of my favorite sweets for months at a time.  I recently competed in what I will call my final show - until I am at the age I will compete in the masters division.  Typically, the day before a competition, you are allowed something really dense and sweet (carbing up), my trainer prefers cheesecake.  Well, obviously being a baker, I had a ton of left over truffles from a large order I just fulfilled and took them with me to my competition.  These leftovers included Strawberry, Cream Cheese Brownie, Carrot Cake, Peanut Butter & Chocolate and Red Velvet.  Yes - I took 12 of those delicious treats with me on a 2 day trip - with the intention of sharing, of course!!  Ya right!

The morning of my show, I ate 3 cake balls.  Throughout the day, I probably consumed 3 more and 1 more before hitting the stage.  The next day - yep - I ate 2-3 more!  Holy moly - Sugar overload...as much as I love these things, I just don't think I can eat another one for at least another week.  *wink*

For those curious people out there - I did end up winning my class and got 2nd in overall!!  Guess all those cakeballs were well deserved!!

Peanut Butter & Toffee Truffle

These Peanut Butter and Toffee truffles were only my second truffle creation I ever attempted.  I am excited to say that these are by far my best selling truffle, followed closely by Red Velvet and Turtle Brownie Cake Balls.  I guess I should call the Turtle Brownie Cake Balls - Turtle Brownie Truffles since they are not in fact an actual "cake" ball.  :)

Everyone loves these Peanut Butter & Toffee Truffles because much love goes into them.  There are flavors of chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnut and toffee...what's not to love!?

With that said, feast your eyes...

Thanks for reading!
