Pie Carrier

Vonny Pie Carrier

 My life is now complete!

I've been coveting

this Vonny pie carrier for about a year

(last summer I went through cream pie phase

and wanted something pretty to carry them in )

Just recently, my dear friend, Misty

surprised me with this beautiful St Charles carrier

It's almost too pretty to put a pie in

but...

Vonny Pie Carrier (inside)

 this lovely pink  (insulated interior) is so easy to clean

Now all my pretty desserts have the perfect traveling attire!

Glitterville Cupcake Carrier

I already had this lovely cupcake carrier  

from Glitterville

World Market Let Them Eat Cake Carrier

As well as this vintage looking 

cake carrier that I bought 

at World Market earlier this year

Do you have fun "accessories" for your traveling desserts?

DIY: Pepper and Spice Blends

Back in 2008, I posted about my favorite spice shop

Penzey's

It has every spice and dried herb imaginable,

they are fresh, and they provide several quantity options

so you aren't spending 7 dollars for a spice 

you will only use once

With that said, there are 2 products that I use all the

time so I decided to come up with my own blends 

Mainly because I bought these cute rustic 

salt/pepper shakers at Target

I didn't really need them

I just like them

Sooooooooooo

As I realized that I'm running out of 

cinnamon sugar

&

how much we use it on EVERYTHING

(pancakes, cookies, cupcakes, toast, etc)  

Cinnamon Suga

 I decided that my salt shaker would become 

a cinnamon suga shaker

I mixed about 3/4 cup sugar

with

 3 tablespoons of Penzey's Cinnamon

but

I did not stop there

I was also running out of 

black & red 

which is a blend of black & cayenne pepper

I use this in all my savory dishes 

SOOOOOOOOO

Black n Red Peppa

my pepper shaker became a

black n red peppa shaker

 

I combined black pepper with cayenne pepper

(sorry Penzey's - I like your peppers, but I was out of cayenne

and picked this one up at Target)

Now, I didn't take the time to measure

I believe I will regret this

a little bit of cayenne (red) pepper goes a very long way

very long

so, mix this one at your heat tolerance discretion

if you so dare to try it

So, do you have a favorite spice or pepper that you can't cook without ?
