Bonnie Gordon Cakes

If you don't know who that is... you have been hiding under a rock! Bonnie Gordon is an expert on everything cakes and she has opened up a school (bearing the same name) in northern Toronto. As a Christmas gift from my boyfriend (now FIANCE!!), he enrolled me in a one day workshop at the school all about cupcakes! I had not had so much fun in quite a while and the class was small, where women gathered together to learn and help each other out! I was equipped with a set of recipes which I hope to test out here at home and some new knowledge to decorate! Here are the yummy, I mean lovely, cupcakes that I had the pleasure of making (and eating). Bon Appetite!

Oh Baby... Continued

Along with our beautiful cupcakes, we made the favours to be given out a the party, complete with custom favour tags! They are simple, but sweet and oh so cute! They are our classic sugar cookie, with homemade fondant and edible wafer paper!






Here are the custom designed favour tags that were made to compliment the cookies! As well as how they appeared wrapped. You can be sure that Goodies 2 Choose will always go that extra mile to make your desserts special and unique just like you! No need to fear that their beauty outweighs the taste. All recipes are tested and perfected so that they are just as yummy as they are pretty. Impress everyone at your parties and events with any of our desserts!

Baby, Baby, Baby!!!

Last night Goodies 2 Choose has the pleasure of making delicious, all from scratch Coconut Macaroon Cupcakes for a baby shower! The theme of the shower was Retro, and gender neutral. There were all kinds of old toys, books and goodies! We'll be posting our favour cookies that went along with the theme, but for now our delicious cupcakes! Aren't they darling?

New Look.

Well it's been almost a year in the thought process, but we've finally updated! Besides baking, I also have a passion for graphic and web designing, so the great graphics are of course by me as well! (Just kidding about the great part) Anyways I enjoy designing new websites/graphics almost as much as I love to bake and create! I couldn't draw to save my life, but with Photoshop or a piping bag, I am invincible!

I thought it would be great to go for a more sophisticated look, as Goodies 2 Choose is getting older! I also wanted to make it totally girly! Let us know what you think of the new look, theme and colour scheme! I am eager to hear some feedback! Some new baking projects coming up in the next couple of weeks here at Goodies 2 Choose! I'll be sure to keep you up to date on all things yummy!

An Ocean Breeze!

Just thought I would update here on vacation in the Bahamas to make all of you dessert lovers jealous! My family and best friend travelled to the Bahamas last Tuesday to soak up the sun and relax after a hard stressful year of school and work. Not only has it been relaxing, but a fun time for my family to grow and enjoy each other. We are staying at an amazing Hotel in downtown Nassau, right on the ocean with a private beach. Warm ocean breezes and white sands are more than enough to cure the winter blues.

We also had a chance to spend a night on Paradise Island and spend two glorious days on the grounds of Atlantis. If you don't know about Atlantis, it is a vast resort of many hotels, casinos and shops, complete with an extensive water park, beaches and aquariums. I would recommend taking a visit to Atlantis if you are planning a trip to the Bahamas. It is expensive, but well worth the price when you step into a paradise.

Here are just a few snapshots of our trip thus far.... think and dream yourself here!
