PEAR DELICIOUSNESS!

So last night, at work, I was trying to come up with new creations using Pear Vodka. I usually just have Grey Goose Pear and Cranberry Juice--which is delicious--but I wanted something different. Here's what I came up with. It could be either a shot or a martini.. it is a little sweet so if you couldn't drink a full martini of it then i guess a shot is the way to go!
3 parts Pear Vodka
1 part Triple Sec
1 part Razzmatazz
Splash of Sour Mix & OJ

CHEERS to DEliCIOUSNESSS!!!

...just minutes after giving my boyfriend the Valentine's treat

Needless to say, he thought they were yummy! I'm sure the rest will be gone within the hour.

VALENTINE'S DAY TREATS!!

This creation is inspired by something I found in the HELLO CUPCAKE recipe book. I put the cupcakes in an empty heart shaped chocolate box and lined the inside with coconut flakes and M&Ms for the spaces. I used an assortment of candys and sprinkles to decorate the cupcakes. It is a nice alternative to simply buying a box of chocolate for your Valentine! You can really get creative and come up with a plethora of designs. ONLY ONE DAY LEFT TO VALENTINE'S DAY.... so start baking!

BLACK & WHITE!

I wanted to create cupcakes with a decorating theme so I came up with BLACK & WHITE, since B&W parties are popular these days. In the candy aisle, I tried to find anything that would fit this theme: coconut, the typical movie theatre candy, and crushed oreos. I also had an idea that used marshmallows. I took the marshmallows and sliced them (which was a little tricky since they are so sticky) into thin, flat circles. Then to make them different sizes, I used teaspoons/tablespoons and other measuring devices so I would have large marshmallow circles and smaller ones. They look pretty cool on top of dark chocolate icing. They were hit! Both attractive and yummy!
