My spidey senses are tingling

Green Goblin: [lands in front of Spider-Man on a rooftop] Wake up little spider, no you're not dead, not yet, You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.
Spider-Man: I'm not like you. You're a murderer.

This was my inspiration for our Spidey-rific table. The table is a combination for Pop art and Spiderman flare, featuring buildings, webs, spiderman and the green goblin figurines, yummy treats, a dot background and riser boxes. For the tags I ended up creating a PDF for the cupcake toppers and bottle wraps.

Contact if you are interested in the PDF.

 

I ended up recruiting the husband for the candy button backdrop but soon regretted it once I saw how close together & out of line they were but I was very grateful for the help. These bad boys took about 3-4 hours to do on the backdrop. I ended up adapting this from here. My advice when doing these, use the bottles rather than the zip lock bags.

Take a note from fashion

You've seen the explosion in stores and shows, neon. It reminds me of the 80's when I had a sideways pony tail and leggings. This trend is a great way to add some color this spring, I bet adding it with some neutrals would balance it out more.  I am seriously dying to do this color palette this spring. What do you think?

Snickerdoodle my dandy

I've have been very bad! With the start of my business I started slacking in my personal life and hobbies, who knew owning and running a business was such hard work?! One thing that has not slowed down has been my baking. I've been taking pictures I promise but have failed to post them so this is me posting {insert coy face} something from ..... 3 months ago.

I don't remember where the original recipe came from but over the years I've tweaked here and there and have come to this. Now when I bake this I generally am careless with the vanilla ext and butter. I will sometimes add more or less depending on my mood.

Sickerdoodles 

2 tsp Vanilla Ext
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt


For Rolling:

2 Tbs granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon


Okay so let's get to baking!!

1) Preheat to 400
2)  Cream together butter, sugar,eggs & vanilla until fluffy (about 30 seconds)
3) Blend flour, cream of tarter, baking soda & salt. Add dry mix to wet mix 1 cup at a time.
4) Mix the 2 Tbsp+cinnamon in bow, set aside.
5) Using cookie scoop, make balls and roll each ball into the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
6) Place dough 3 inches apart on ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet.
7) bake 8-10 mins or until set but NOT hard.
8) remove and cool on rack.

 BAM, there you go! These have got to be one of the easiest cookies to make besides sugar cookies. Also on a side note I seem to have lost my fav lil milk glass shown in the picture {major sad face}. How does a glass grow legs and walk away?
