Operating as usual
Gingerbread cutouts are the perfect Christmas treat! Bake them and the whole house smells like the holidays. Experimented with a new recipe and decorating in white chocolate. (Forgot to share this over the holidays last year, so no, were not doing Christmas in July early.)

Taste the rainbow...
Biscotti, from the top: hazelnut, gingerbread, maple walnut, and chocolate peppermint chip.
The last hazelnut biscotti, made from fresh hazelnuts courtesy of my friend Dave. We're going to have to add this one to the recipe list.
Most of this blueberry cheesecake has been... consumed.
When asked to do a tasteful cake for a bachelor party I jumped at the opportunity to test my cake sculpting skills and decorating without fondant, but mostly my inner-child wanted to make a butt. 😝

Snickerdoodles: a simple cookie with a funny name and great cinnamon-sugar taste.

When you have a lot of leftover colored chocolate you make rainbow drizzled CakePops to go with your rainbow cake! These are great party favors.

Rainbow flowers hint to a rainbow layered surprise inside!

This chocolate frosted birthday cake covered with a rainbow assortment of cascading flowers contains a colorful secret. (Didn't realize how many royal icing flowers we had stocked up until I made this, haha.)

The versitle Butter Cookie is a staple of any respectable Italian bakery; it comes in different shapes and flavor pairings, like our signature rosette piping dipped in chocolate with sprinkles.

I prefer nuts, myself
Na na, na na, na na, Banana Bread! How do you take it, with or without nuts?

Shortbread rounds drizzled with white and milk chocolate and lots of rainbow sprinkles are an old favorite here at Jersey Girl.

Because it isn't a party without the cake, some baseball decorated cupcakes finish out this Texas Ranger themed order for a unique baby shower. There's Red Velvet with CreamCheese Frosting and Yellow with Vanilla & Chocolate Buttercream.

We made this three tiered stand with a custom sign to display baseball CakePops for a Texas Ranger themed unique baby shower order. One side of the sign reads "Welcome New Baby" and the other side reads "Red or Blue, We Welcome You". The stand holds 24 CakePops and looks great at parties!

Continuing with the Texas Ranger Baseball themed order for a unique baby shower, we have little baseball cakepops decorated in chocolate with handpiped red stitching.

Throwback to a large order of Texas Ranger Baseball themed goodies for a unique baby shower. These sugar cookies decorated with royal icing are bagged and ready to deliver; the Rangers logo was freehanded on each cookie along with the stitching on the baseballs, plus there are uniced baseballs with the lacing etched into the dough for those who dislike overly sweet icing.

Decorated with royal icing, these exquisitely detailed sugar cookies are available on or off the stick and are great in cookie bouquets!
Our first German chocolate cake in Indiana
It's been a month since we moved and we now have two ovens. I think it's time to bake something...
Jersey Girl Baking will be temporarily closed as we've moved from Texas to Indiana! Stay tuned for a new kitchen, new recipes, and a brand new look. 🍪😉

Thirty of these adorable Dino’s were part of a birthday order, our largest to date, along with a train cake. The heads and bodies were hand sculpted from cake while the feet are halved mini-marshmallows individually adhered with chocolate before dipping. They’re decorated entirely in chocolate with hand-piped details, check out those tiny claws on each foot!

Some inspiration, we've only scratched the surface.
Here's the ultimate guide to Italian cookies, pastries and desserts.
Made these custom themed sugar cookies with royal icing for a 50th Birthday party last month. We implemented a few new decorating techniques – love those ruffle bows – and tested out some new cutters. Sprinkled on crushed Oreo’s for the “dirt” as a fun effect!

As we continue to explore the feasibility of opening a retail bakery location, I'm pondering the idea of starting a "Biscotti of the Month" club via mail order. The idea would be that once a month we'd ship out a box full of cookies (two dozen of one kind? one dozen each of two kinds? mostly biscotti but some other treat too?)
What do you think of the idea?

I regret to announce that the grape ones are no more... (Actually, I regret that there are no more that I can eat.)
Some golden kolackies for the weekend. Clockwise from the top: Cherry, Peach, Blueberry, and Grape.
Throwback to Jersey Girl's first custom cake order! Intended for a pirate-themed party, this chocolate cake covered in fondant with plenty of details, including a partial-mixing technique to achieve the wood-grain texture, wouldn’t be complete without the cannon ball CakePops that started it all. The barrel is a halved waterproof shipping tube packed with cereal treats to tapper the end before covering with fondant.
