tree

These have been around forever but never fail to delight me. I think my adult self needs to pop out and get one of my own.

I imagine it would take a tremendous effort to restrain myself enough to get chips onto these little trees without eating them all first. Let's just say that's possible and move on. Any party with chip trees is probably the best party ever. Please invite me.

I know it's a little early to talk about the holidays but how cool would it be to have an Up! themed tree? You could tie balloons all over it and have a little house at the base!

This cake makes me think of the book "Afternoon of the Elves" by Janet Talyor Lisle which I read when I was only 11. It's reminiscent of a girl in boots that are too big who spends all her time building houses for elves out of leaves in her back yard. But now she's all grown up and getting married to an equally elvin man and they are having a simple barefoot wedding in the woods.

That looks about like the weather here right now. Maybe I'll go fly a kite like this dragon.

Do you think your flowers and cuttings will last longer in a vase that seems to be soothing them with a song?

Salty, sweet and perfectly snack sized. I want a tree like this growing in my yard.

How lovely is your frosting! The little sprinkles that I spy, they twinkle sweetly at my eye! Oh cupcake tree, oh cupcake tree, I want to lick your branches.

The best thing about these cookies to me is the fact that they didn't turn over all the M&Ms to make them plain red. I see this as a sign of smart priorities. Just jam the chocolates on there as fast as you can because the sooner they're done, the sooner we can eat them!

Ah, the tree is so serene and quiet and just enjoying the day. This is a lesson I could stand to learn today.

Broccoli is by far my favorite vegetable. If I didn't abide by the urban hipster bible and only buy local organic produce I would eat broccoli every day and never get sick of it. With cheese, steamed with lemon, in a casserole. IN A CAKE OMG! Making pictures inside food with a broccoli tree, be still my beating heart!

What an awesome timeline of romance! The birdies meet in the Fall at the bottom there, fall in love during the Winter months, and have a sweet little family by Spring! Huzzah for life and love and sugar!

It's time. I know, it's crazy how fast this all happened. We have to start talking about Christmas now. These 3D cookies are going to the top of my list!

Are you a huge nerd like me? Do you love Game of Thrones and follow the old gods? Do you wish you had a creepy old tree with a face to pray to? You can at least eat this one!
