Welcome to PeaceLoveSugar!
Let's take a minute to get to know each other.
PeaceLoveSugar started with a
lot of free time. My husband is in the US Army and was deployed several months ago. A series of events landed me back in Dallas living back at home. Long days with nothing to do didn't work out for long. Before I knew it the oven started calling my name. My first inspirations came from a
book and a
woman that I envy. I spent hours upon hours in the kitchen "creating" as my mother so kindly worded it. Really, she was secretly cringing from fresh powder coating from floor to ceiling and countless bags of sprinkles, toppings, cupcake wrappers and other decorative items that were strewn all over our tiny kitchen transformed into my workshop.
Positive feedback from friends and family quickly turned into requests for treats. With a little push from my biggest fans, my husband and parents, I put together prices and made my first attempts to sell my passion of cupcakes, cake truffles and the occasional party cake. I enjoy baking with all of my heart. I am self taught but that doesn't discount my abilities. The best learning is hands on and I spend a large amount of time tinkering with my skills through trial and error. That brings us to the present day.
Today cupcakes are everywhere and have made a comeback in popularity. Cupcake towers are a popular replacement for wedding cakes and make yummy parting gifts when individually wrapped for parties. These individual servings of sugar are ideal because ingredients can be combined in an infinite number of ways to make individualized batches to please every taste pallet. PeaceLoveSugar prides its self in taking your favorite flavors and creating a custom recipe for customers who want a change from chocolate and vanilla. While I enjoy flavor experiments, I get the most joy out of the decorations.
Have cupcakes worn out their welcome on your party table? Cake truffles are a similar option with a completely different look and taste. My truffles start with your choice of cake flavor and icing combined and shaped into a ball (or any shape to match your requests). Next the two-bite sized treats take a dive into melted chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate or vanilla which come in a variety of colors. Want a lollipop look? Cake pops are possible as well. As if that isn't enough, there are topping options galore. My "couture cake truffles" are decorated to fit the occasion. Say for instance you are hosting a graduation party. Cake truffles can be made into graduation hats or they can sport a fondant circle with "2009" on top. Customize your pops for the grad and proudly display their college of choice with a logo on the truffle. You tell me your event and I will bake something to match.
Let me entice you with some pictures.
