Happy Birthday Cuppie

Good Morning, Sweet Readers!

Here is a fun little cupcake container that I found while in Southern California earlier this month. I'm going back to get some more because they are just the perfect little thing for a sweet birthday surprise for a friend. I made this filled cuppie for a friend's birthday on Tuesday and made sure not to make it green! I figured she must get a lot of "St. Patrick's dayish" things for her birthday so I wanted to make it all her own (my birthday is in December and I can decorate my home for the holidays with all the wonderful birthday/Christmas items :)

I stamped the tag with a cute little cupcake stamp a friend bought for me-actually, two friends thought of me with the stamp! (thank you both! I have very thoughtful friends:)

Anyhow, enjoy and have a great rest of your week!

Katie's Birthday Cake

Here are some pictures of the birthday cake I did for 6 year old Katie today. The bottom picture is before I adorned it :) She is having a pink and purple princess party tomorrow and her sweet mommy ordered this cake with matching flower cupcakes (I will post those next!). I am so pleased with the result and I hope she loves it.

The cake is a really yummy fresh strawberry cake with a fresh and light strawberry whipped cream filling. I topped it all with some lovely vanilla buttercream and fun handmade letters and crown.

Happy Birthday, Katie!

Firefighter Cupcake with Custom Cupcake Box

Hello Sweet Readers!

Just wanted to show you a single cupcake order I made for a friend who is going to a firefighter's retirement dinner tonight. She ordered a single cupcake in a "manly" custom cupcake box with a matching tag. Since he is a firefighter, I did a chocolate fire helmet to top off the Dark Chocolate Guinness cupcake. I also filled the cupcake with fudge frosting and topped it with creamy vanilla buttercream, Vahlrona chocolate dragees and some small silver dragees. I hope he likes it!

Single Cuppie and Minis

Just some yummies I made a few weeks back...working on my son's bday cake and cuppies for tomorrow and a big order for Friday and can't wait to share it with you! Have a great week!

Explorer Cupcakes

Howdy!

The "E" is for Explorers! At my youngest son's school, their mascot is the explorer. Tomorrow, the 5th graders are having a bake sale for their outdoor ed experience. Sooo, I offered to make some cuppies to help them earn some moola! Our colors are two shades of blue, so that is where the blue came from...

The cuppies are vanilla with apple filling and vanilla buttercream. Hope the sell! :)

Have a great Thursday!

Justice Cupcakes!

Hi Sweet Readers!

Just poppin' in this weekend to show you some fun cupcakes I made for an order. The order was for a judge's swearing in reception and I wanted to treat my client to something fun. I made some special scales of justice and gavels to top these precious mini cuppies. I thought it would be fun and festive for the occasion and I think I might have pulled it off! The cuppies were vanilla, cookies and cream, and red velvet. I topped them with some decadent chocolate buttercream and a yummy vanilla buttercream that tasted like a mix of whipped cream and traditional buttercream. Yum! Some silver dragees, white non pareils and voila!

Have a great rest of you weekend!

Red Velvet Cupcakes with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream

I made these pretty little things for an order this week and was so happy with the way they turned out. The cake was rich and moist, with a light and delicate crumb. I filled them with vanilla buttercream to compliment the specks of dark chocolate interwoven with the red velvet cake. I melted some white chocolate to add to the cream cheese buttercream and shaved some white chocolate curls for the top. Thanks for coming to check them out!
