P wanted cupcakes for her out of town guests. Cupcakes work great when you need a homemade treat but don't want to turn on the oven. Thanks P for your order!

Bridal Shower = 3 doz yellow buttermilk cupcakes + 3 doz chocolate cupcakes

S wanted to use cupcakes as part of the table centerpiece for her sister's bridal shower. So we decided on fushia and white buttercream frosting to compliment the colorful gerber daisies that they were using in the middle of the tables. The 2 cupcake flavors gave guests options and made for a beautiful contrast display. Thank you for the opportunity to bake for you S!

Happy 1st Birthday J


For a 1st birthday I got to make a fun caterpillar cup"cake". E selected the yellow buttermilk cupcakes with swiss meringue buttercream frosting and they were decorated as the caterpillar's body. For their party with adults and children this was a great choice as kids will love the fun cupcakes and adults can enjoy a
fancy "kid" treat. Happy 1st Birthday J!

Pumpkin Party


These jack-o-lantern cupcakes were the perfect treat for a pumpkin party. I used yellow buttermilk cupcakes as the base and buttercream frosting to make the pumpkins. The face is made with semi-sweet chocolate. All together they add up to a fun tasty treat.

A Baby Shower



  

For a baby boy celebration I chose to make yellow buttermilk cupcakes w swiss meringue buttercream in very light shades of blue and green. This cake is moist and light topped with icing that is creamy not sugary.
What a delicious way to celebrate with an expectant mom!
