Lots of fun and exciting visits and events to go to. Oh Oh and for sure will be posting some goods on Deal of the Week!! Have a wonderful Friday night! - Emma

So wanna know my side talent?! I make amazing cakes that are awesomely decorated!! I worked at great bakery in Spokane but had to move for the BF but I have kept doing it on the side for people here! I also do the custom desserts at a winery in Walla Walla as well.

Here are some of the recent orders for a few Easter mini cupcakes (white low sugar cake with vanilla buttercream frosting with handmade bunnies - oh and EDIBLE GLITTER!!) and an Anniversary cake (tuxedo- chocolate and white cake with raspberry filling and homemade chocolate fudge frosting with custom handmade fondant flowers) I make all natural cakes that are SUPER moist and full of goodness - no crisco here!

Sunday Funday: Recipe for AH-mazingly Good and Fast Cheesecake Brownies

YUMMY! These Cheesecake Brownies are a prefect end to a crazy hectic week full of wine tasting, family visits and spring break vacations! This particular recipe is made in the microwave for an even faster production!!! The boyfriend ate these up after saying he was no longer eating sweets! He says that a lot but it is hard living with a darn good baker ;)

Here is how to make these yummy little treats for the next time you have some special guests at your house or to have a little treat for yourself because darn it you deserve it!

Ingredients:

5 tbsp. butter

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate

2/3 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2/3 c. all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

Cheesecake Layer:

1 pkg. softened cream cheese (8oz.)

1/2 c. sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 c. semi-sweet chocolate clips

Directions:

In a medium bowl melt the chocolate and butter (be careful not to burn - depending on microwave settings I would start with 10 sec, increments - my microwave is 30-60 seconds for this to melt perfectly); Use mixer to beat the mixture once melted to make it thick and smooth. Beat in vanilla, sugar and eggs then combine baking powder and flower to the chocolate mixture until all blended nicely. Spread chocolate mixture into a greased 8 in. pan (I prefer glass- you will be microwaving this so no metal please).

Beat cream cheese until fluffy then add in your eggs, vanilla and sugar making sure mixture is nice and smooth. Spoon cheesecake mixture over the chocolate mixture; take a butter knife and cut through the entire mixture creating a marble-ing effect. Sprinkle the chocolate chip mixture over the cheesecake and chocolate mixture.

Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes. Again depending on your microwave I would be careful on the exact timing because every microwave is a little different. Your mixture is done once you stick a toothpick in it and the toothpick comes out clean. Microwave it again for 30-60 sec longer. Remove from microwave and let it cool on a rack. Store immediately in the fridge.

This recipe makes 1 dozen cheesecake brownie bites! Enjoy - I hope you all had a great weekend!!

Psst....I am letting you all in on a secret for the future of Fl(h)air!

So as you know I love things vintage and hair accessories so I have mended them together and have a 5 totally different looks in one package for my Fl(h)air Followers!!! Here is the set and then I will explain :)

So one for starters there is a set of beautiful sparkily vintage earrings - yep your own beautiful pair that are aroura broealis glitter gems for your ears.

Then two clip the vintage earrings in the feather peacock shoe clips and clip them onto your favorite pair of shoes. Super fun and they have special grips to keep those bad boys on!

Three clip the earrings onto your headband to add some glitz and glam make sure to place them on the felt markings.

To achieve four just place headband on head. Yes Ma'am it is that easy and chic!

Finally five take the clips and add the feather shoe clips and then add them to the headband to get a glam effect for going out!

Here is what I did for the final look - SUPER CUTE RIGHT?!

(and it is upside down - dang it!!)

Anyways I have a meeting with one of the classiest antique vintage inspired shops downtown Walla Walla and I am so excited to have them carried in stores! Wish me luck!! I will be making these all week and they will be posted on etsy next week for all of you to enjoy! Keep you posted on the introductory price lovlies!

Hello from Cannon Beach, Oregon!!

It is so very beautiful here - even with overcast, rain showers and cold weather! I have never been here on this beach before but I will be back! The resort we stayed at is The Surfsand and we had ocean views and wonderful customer service! Here is a view from our hotel room...

EARLY in the morning you can see the view from Haystack Rock which is the third largest monolith on the Pacific Ocean and is home to many different sea birds as well as sea creatures. It was so rainy I couldn't get a whole lot of the creatures we encountered but there are some pictures to show you. The green enemenies (sp?) are very sweet and they like their bellies rubbed and then we found a large crab that was almost to large to hold - he was not a charmer but fun to find... Anyways here are some to look at!

This last one turned out sideways again but the whole side is covered with razor clams and starfish that were so beautiful in colors!

Then we went to a candy store and they had tons of Salt Water Taffy as well as specialtiy candies. Since the family business is candy I had to snap a picture of these.... Yep seriously these are chocolate covered insects, bar-b-que flavored larve and crickets - YUCK  - but I had to share!!!



Also we went to Seaside, Oregon where there were some baby seals that were rescues and you could feed them fish and they slapped their bellies for you attention as well as splashed you all over - I did not get a picture of these because my hands were covered with raw dead fish - not something I want on my iPhone... We also went into the aquarium where we saw eels, halibut, sting rays, octopus and got to hold hermit crabs and play with the enemenies (sp?) and sea cucumbers. Here is a picture of the giant octopus that because a little active with my red scarf - the lady at the aquarium told me he was flirting with my scarf - LOL! It is all fine and dandy until some octopus tentacle comes out of the tank... Seriously Mr. Octopus not interested!

So there is what I have been up to as well as rushing to get these orders done with Fl(h)air Accessories - O O O and I am working a deal with The Buttery located on Hemlock Street  in Cannon Beach where you can pick up your own Fl(h)air Accessories in the shop - I love networking!! Keep ya posted! What did you guys do for spring break?
