It's a Boy, baby shower

    I know that it has been a long time since I have posted. Life has been a little crazy lately and I haven't had time to work on my cupcakes. So it was a fun surprise to get asked to make cupcakes for a boy baby shower. I had missed the therapeutic baking and fun of decorating. Thank you T for giving me the opportunity to create.
    For this event we used chocolate cupcakes in a chocolate liner and swiss meringue buttercream frosting. I wanted to highlight the cute blue diaper pins so white frosting worked the best. What a delicious way to celebrate a new baby.

Christmas Party

M & A's Christmas Party


These are mint chocolate cupcakes with mint buttercream frosting. A fancy but fun dessert for party attenders. They looked great on the beautiful table and went well with all the other Hors d'oeuvres. Thanks M & A, for the opportunity to create.

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.

Pretty in Pink and White

Pink and white buttercream paired with chocolate cupcakes were elegant for this bridal shower. The bride wanted a fun dessert with sophistication. I displayed the cupcakes on the tables with different cake stands to make them a focal point as well as the dessert. She received multiple comments from guests about how fun it was to eat cupcakes because they hadn't in a long time. Just another reminder that cupcakes aren't just for kids!

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!

September Cupcake- Red Velvet w Cream Cheese Frosting


Today I perfected my Red Velvet Cupcake. It is especially moist and pairs perfectly with the cream cheese frosting. Who knew a cupcake that's vibrant red could taste so grown-up?
