DIY: Creative candy logos

This is a tale of how creative, fun celebrating can come out of the blue - every day!

A few weeks ago, I was meeting with Nicole, the owner of this amazing cupcake boutique in downtown Franklin, Tennessee - Naticakes.  We were bursting with ideas of parties and cupcakes and themes and charities when in walked a lady named Claudia.

Claudia was looking for a creative way to make a University of Tennessee logo on top of a cheesecake.  This cheesecake was to be a gift for a teacher friend and while she wanted it to be special, she had no idea how to re-create the logo.

Here's the logo - a simple letter T.

The conversation turned to candy and I told her that she could easily create a UT logo out of orange slice candy.  And I'd even draw it out for her to show her how.  Remember that candy?

Orange slice candy was perfect because it has one side that is almost straight and one side with a curve. These two elements are the same ones that primarily make up the UT logo.  AND, it was orange - UT's primary school color. I went back to my computer and drew out how to lay out the candies to create the logo and sent it off to Claudia.

A few days later, I received an email from Claudia along with this picture of her finished cheesecake!

See how she used the sides of the candies?



Claudia was thrilled to have a creative finished cheesecake to give to her friend and I was happy to have been there to meet her and come up with something fun!

Sidenote:  If you're ever in downtown Franklin, Tennessee - right outside of Nashville - pop into Naticakes and tell them Everyday Celebrating sent you.  The cupcakes are amazing!  See?

I would have loved that cake. Orange Slices are one of my favorite candies!

Dear Beehive,
I just bought a house where there will be lots of rooms to paint (they removed the wallpaper thank goodness!) The master room has salmon carpeting. What color will downplay the carpeting?
