Creamy Caramel Toffee Dip
1 - 8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup White Sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup Skor or Heath Bar Toffee Chips
Beat cream cheese, sugars and vanilla together until fluffy. Stir in Toffee Chips just before serving. Serve with fruit. You can make the cream cheese mixture ahead of time and keep in the fridge...just don't forget to add the toffee chips. They complete this dip! Store leftover dip in the fridge. It keeps well, the toffee chips just lose their crunch.
Speedy Race Car Birthday Cake!!!
It was my little boys 1st Birthday this week! I did a Race Car theme, because this little guy just loves cars. He loves to drive them back and forth with his little hands. This cake was perfect for our little racer! I got the recipe from http://www.familyfun.com/ . I just love Family Fun. They have got great ideas for birthdays, craft projects, kid games, recipes & a whole lot more!

I think the cake turned out perfect! The kids loved it! It was fun to look at, and of course to dig into. I love the crumbled oreo cookies for the track, and the green sprinkles were fantastic! I made my favorite Cream Cheese frosting that made it so tasty. I put my cakes in the freezer for about an hour before I frosted them, and I also dipped my frosting knife in water each time I dipped for more frosting. It helped keep the crumbs from the cake out of my frosting. I used white chocolate covered Reese's PB cups cut in small rectangles to make my dotted lines. I'm not a fan of the Good 'n Plenty's that the recipe called for. My cake sure isn't perfect like their picture, but it worked for me. My little boy loved it. He did eat a little too much cake, and was up a lot in the night with a belly ache, but hey...you're only "1" once!
I had to include this picture of our little racer getting ready to open his presents. Isn't that just the cutest back side you have ever seen! He knew what was coming! He loved opening his presents. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us. He even performed his new walking skills for everyone! We love you bud!!!

Your cake turned out great! Good job! Happy Birthday Alex! The dip looks yummy too.
Cute--I may have to try that cake for our next birthday party! The dip looks tasty too. I remembered that it was Alexander's birthday after you guys left the park the other day. We should have had cupcakes or something for him! Oh well, sounds like he had enough cake. :)
What a cute little boy-even from the back. I love that cake. You did a fab job on that. I've made that dip and it is seriously addictive stuff with apples.
I love that dip too--and your race car cake is darling!!
I made your dip today at a baby shower and it was a hit! Love your cake, it is adorable and love your blog!
