From Cupcakes to Homemade Organic Baby Food...

What a busy year it has been already for Alexandria’s Creations, thanks so much to you all!!! I know I have been a terrible blogger by not updated you on my new projects but please, please, please follow me on Instagram @alexandriascreations and on Facebook by liking Alexandria’s Creations; I keep those two sources updated constantly! With all of those plugs out of the way let me tell you about Alexandria’s most recent product… Homemade Organic Baby Food Pouches! Let me start off by saying that these are not just for babies these pouches are for anyone looking to get their fruits and veggies in on the go; these are especially good for those who have to be tricked into eating veggies because with all of the yumminess (I just made that word up) of the fruit you do not realize that you are also getting fresh organic veggies! I have always made fresh baby food for both of my babies but I recently thought this would be a good product for other mothers who may not have the time to prepare these goodies for their kids and instead might opt for other items that are full of preservatives and added sugar/salt or worse. Alexandria’s Creations does not add any sugar/salt/preservatives or anything else unnatural to our food pouches (yes these do need to be temperature controlled see table below), only the best ingredients go into these beauties! If you are interested in freshness dates please see the table below and remember Alexandria’s marks each pouch with the made by date as well as ALL of the ingredients of the pouch! As always contact Alexandria’s Creations for all of your goodie, from cupcakes to baby food, needs (alexandriascreations@gmail.com).

Award Winning Cupcakes!!!

I am so thrilled to announce that Alexandria's Creations has {wait for it} won an award for the Best Halloween Dish!!! Well it's not exactly from any top food Institute or anything but I am still proud, a customer placed an order for 'something creative' to take to a Halloween party and what she got was a creepy treat, I just love when I can be creative! I decided on Red Velvet Cupcakes topped with Edible Blood and Candy Broken Glass!!! This was especially fun for me as it was my first experience with making candy glass and though I may not make it often it is definitely something that is going down in my handy recipe book!!! Remember Alexandria's Creations is here to turn your dreams into memories and Lisa gets bragging rights among her friends all year for the delicious and creative cupcakes she brought to the party!!!

Creepy!!!

All ready to go impress everyone!

Chicken and Waffle Cupcakes... {say it isn't so}...

I am a huge fan of the southern favorite, which thankfully is migrating its way all over, Chicken and Waffles and with my love for trying new things I didn't see a reason why this could not be adapted into a cupcake! The result... a light and fluffy vanilla buttermilk cupcake with a maple syrup glaze and a maple buttercream icing, and I forgot the best part... there is chicken baked into the middle {what a delightful surprise}. This cupcake is perfect to WOW your guests at a brunch or for any special occasion really {These babies make Monday morning worth celebrating}. I will advise that they need to be consumed immediately, I don't think that will be a problem anyway... good thing I bake everything fresh to order!

I also wanted to add that I visited Georgetown Cupcakes in Washington DC and gained so much inspiration, this visit makes me even more passionate about my craft and I will be trying out some of my recipes with new ingredients soon so stay posted!!!

Baby Shower Fun!!!

I just love showering baby girls... really what is more exciting than opening cute little outfits and hair bows??? Having a sweets buffet created by Alexandria's Creations is the only thing more exciting than outfits and hair bows that I can think of!!! This sweets buffet consists of my famous brownie bites, chocolate covered pretzel rods, oatmeal and m&ms cookies, chocolate covered potato chips, mini raspberry cheesecake shooters and marshmallow pops!!! I really enjoy creating these buffets so if you are ever in need of a dessert bar for any event contact Alexandria's Creations!!!!

William & Amber's 5th Year Wedding Anniversary

I hope I have not lost all of my blog followers but for you who have been keeping up with me, as sporadic as I have been lately, we welcomed our second daughter London on 7/11 so you can imagine how busy this time has been!!! I hope you all continue to bare with me as I plan to get the test kitchen going in full drive while I am at home with the girls!

Anywho... let me start off by saying that this is one of my favorite married couples!!! William, or Bink as we call him, is my hubby's best friend and his wife is a super cool lady herself and we do not get to see them very often since they moved out of state but as soon as they contacted me about having a 5 year wedding anniversary party I knew this was going to be fun! Their only request was that they had to have my 'famous' Fresh Strawberry cupcakes and from there they gave me creative freedom to make some classy treats for their guests so I did just that... Fresh Strawberry, French Vanilla and Chocolate Cupcakes along with Tuxedo Dipped Oreos, Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods and Strawberries!

Tuxedo Dipped Golden Oreos

Cupcakes, cupcakes everywhere... here are just a few dozen (Chocolate, French Vanilla and Fresh Strawberry)
