Welcome to the new look!


We are now live with My Adorable Small Town Life 2.0.  Many thanks to my partner John for all his effort behind the scenes to make the code do what the code is supposed to do. The new design has neat features like a slideshow on the front page and a search function! What fun!

Coinciding with the new look, I have also joined Twitter and Google+, so feel free to follow me!

I am currently in the process of changing the template for this blog. I still love the current one, but it is no longer functional. The text is too small by default, the comments section won't let you reply directly to others, and there have been some neat additions/improvements to blogger templates over the past three years that I simply cannot access with the current one. So it is time for a change.

I took a screen shot of the current template so I can have a memory of how it all began. 


I should have the new one up and running by the end of the week. John and I have been working on the back end and it is almost ready to go!  I will miss the cuteness of the old template, but I am looking forward to the increased functionality. It is time.

I have thoroughly looked through my photos and this will be the last baking experiment I will post from my archive. I'm ending on a cute one too! A recipe from Bakerella (obvs), I got to play with my food colouring gels and items from the Bulk Barn (teddy grahams and gummy apple rings). Super fun to decorate and adorable to eat!

Swimming Teddy Bears!



I love the guy in front! So cute!

We had a big family BBQ in the summer of 2009 and I knew I had to contribute an amazing dessert to end the big day. It helped that the BBQ was at our place, so no worries about traveling with delicate treats.

As I have been describing all week, I was quite obsessed with Bakerella in 2009 and when she posted about Fast Food Fun, I knew I had to try it. This was a recipe that was out of my comfort zone - it had cupcakes AND brownies! And multiple colours of icing! And sugar cookies on the side. I set to work (in hiding) the day of the BBQ and unveiled the treats in the chip wagon boxes Bakerella had created and posted as .PDFs. These were definitely a hit!! Mouths dropped!

Burger Bun (vanilla cupcake), burger patty (brownie), ketchup, mustard,
 and lettuce (coloured icing), french fries (sugar cookies)

Fun for the whole family!

YUM!!
