Wheel of Fortune Cake

This is a sugar-free yellow cake with butter cream icing.  The wheel pieces are made out of fondant and the spokes are pop sticks.  This cake was made for a Mother's Day party in honor of a special lady that loves Wheel of Fortune! 

Candy Cane Reindeer

I make these every year for Hayden's class Christmas party... and I always end up making more for other classes, office parties, etc.  They are great (and inexpensive) holiday gifts to give to a group, attach on top of holiday gifts, or even hang on the Christmas tree!  I like to use the red and white candy canes but any kind can be used, including sugar-free canes.

Jack-O-Lantern Cake

White cake with a chocolate filling... This cake is VERY special to me.  Yes it was made for a celebration on October 31st, but it wasn't to celebrate Halloween.  This was the cake Hayden picked to celebrate his baptism!  He was actually baptized on October 31, 2010.  The Jack-o-Lantern only has one tooth because, at the time, Hayden only had one front tooth.  I will probably think of Hayden every time I make a cake like this!

Meat & Cheese Trays

Who doesn't love a good party tray!  Holidays, office parties, or while watching the big game!  Customized trays with your choice of meats and cheeses.  Keep it simple, or try something new!

Cheese:  sliced, cubed, or cut into cute shapes... Some of the different types include cheeses from California, or other parts of America.  Low-fat, and fat-free options available.  Swiss, French, Spanish, and Italian cheeses add variety.  My favorite is an Irish Porter!

Meats: Smoked, Baked, Mesquite, and Oven Roasted... Ham & turkey are always the most popular.  Add some roast beef, summer sausage, or a salad served with crackers.

This picture shows a very simple platter requested with the focus on a low-fat/ fat-free food.  It was served with multi-grain crackers.

    

Sugar-Free Mint Chocolate Cake

This dessert is popular during the holidays, and is great for the diabetic & health-minded family members or co-workers.  It is a double-layered sugar-free chocolate cake.  I used sugar-free York Peppermint Patties to create a sugar-free filling.  Covered in chocolate and butter cream icing, and topped with a Sugar-Free York Peppermint Patty.  Great alternative for those who love Thin Mint Cookies!

   

Texas Trash

Typically Texas Trash contains pretzel, some kind of nut, and some kind of cereal mixed altogether with almond bark.  This is the family cookbook version!  Yummy!  Makes for a great salty-sweet snack!

Peanut Butter Cheese Balls

Peanut Butter Cheese Balls!  Great when served with both green and red apples or wheat crackers.  Unique item for parties!  Great for both kids and adults.  This item can be served as an appitizer or a dessert.  It is very light tasting and won't weigh you down.  (This recipe cane from my family cookbook... Thanks to my great- Aunt Myrl!)

I wanted to show you that there are two ways to serve this dish.  The bigger plate shows an option great for buffet-style parties.  The smaller plate is more for individual servings.
