I feel like I have been dis-loyal to my blog! Its been a while since I have been able to get on here and post anything.  I FINALLY started a facebook account for The Cupcake Mamma-but guess what?!  Im sooo green at this entire process that I dont even know how to post a link on here ACK!! Its hard to keep up with everything AND chase an (almost) 1 year old, AND keep up with the busy mind and body of my (almost 5 year old)
With all that being said, here are some pictures of my latest stuff!
CAKE POPS!! Wow...they are really all the rage right now!
These matched the mini Chocolate/Strawberry Cupcakes I made for our Girls Day!

That same day, I had a baby shower that I made cupcakes for!! The theme was brown and green and heres what I came up with!!








...and a few Red Velvents never hurt anyone!  haha

Next was a birthday for a sweet girl named MacKenzie.  She wanted "M"s on all of her cupcakes so I decided to handmake 36 M's!!  So much fun...Happpyyyy Birthday MacKenzie!!

Above is Chocolate on Chocolate with a purple chocolate heart!!

Princess Party!


I recently had the privilege of making cupcakes for the cutest little diva/fashionista that I know! 
 It was nothing short of a royal affair!
 I kept it simple with the flavors since this WAS a birthday for a 4 year old and 20 of her BFF's 
so I went with the oh-so-famous:
 Tart and Tangy Lemon, Strawberry Milkshake, Death By Chocolate and Radical Rainbow!



OOOhhhh...and YES!  I finally worked up the nerve to attempt Cake Pops! They have been in my dreams for months but in my wakeful state of mind, I have been procrastinating for unpractical reasons.  This was finally my chance to debut them as an added surprise/bonus!
What the heck was I waiting for??  These little cupcakes on a stick were loved by all and I will be officially adding them to the menu!!! 

Here they area...naked! 
And here they are...fully dressed!
Cute, right??!!!  I loved playing with the colors and all the sprinkle choices!
Note to self...purchase LOTS more sprinkles, they are so much fun...and in my world, better than shoes!!!

I also made Ice Cream Sundae cupcakes and Lemon.  All 3 flavors are super popular at parties!
Below are a few snap shots of the cupcakes!!

Lemons...all ready to roll out!

Vanilla Lime Coconut....can you dig it??!!

Again...this flavor makes me think of summer...and Pina Coladas, and Mojitos...and...ohh sorry!! This is a cupcake blog...not a cocktail blog! Ha!
Rich, moist dense vanilla cake topped with a super tart fresh lime
buttercream frosting and sprinkled with shredded coconut and a lime zest!
This cupcake is knock your socks off good!!!


Pretty...right!!?!! 


All snug and ready for their pink box journey!!

 My mouth is watering...

I know its hard to see the little paper wrappers, but they were lime green and white gingham print...SOOO cuteee and sooo matchy matchy!! Love it!

I know its winter...but Strawberry was calling my name!

So, I know this is more of a "summery" kind of flavor, but all this cold wet weather makes me THINK about summer...thus inspiring me to make a Strawberry Cupcake!!
Strawberry cake filled with chunks of real strawberries (yes folks...I found fresh strawberries in January!)
The frosting is a strawberry infused buttercream with, again, yummy bites of real strawberry!
They are pink, cute and delicious...Pinkalicious!


Mocha Madness!!

What better way to start your day or even finish your day than with a rich 
Mocha cupcake!! Its bursting with flavor AND caffeine!!!  YUM!
Dark chocolate cake with a REAL espresso buttercream frosting topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean!!  Its smooth, creamy and simply delicious!!
