18th Birthday Suprise Party!!

I loved doing this job-9 dozen for an 18th birthday party!! 

Ahhh...to be 18 again!! But, thats another posting LOL.

 I was asked to to make my tie-dye cupcakes and they turned out pretty awesome if DO say-so myself!! Haha...they are one of my favorites to make!

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!

 You scream, I scream.....

 We ALLLL scream for ICE CREAM (but umm...no ice cream involved actually...just an illusion LOL)

Let the Tie-Dye'ing begin....

These are what they look like fresh outta the oven! Colorful!!

                OMG...the frosting was soooooo much fun!!! My colors turned out so vibrant and beautiful!

                                Tell me you dont want to taste THAT rainbow!!??!!  YUMMM

         Packed up and ready to go!!! P.S...These carrying cases rock and yesss...they're gettin' WORKED!!!

I had a BLAST doing this job!! I put in some crazy long hours to ensure they were perfect and when I get that all important feedback from my clients...it means the world to me!!

Thank you Lisa for your business and I am sooooo glad your party was a hit!!

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!!

Get yours TODAY!!

 C'mon...you KNOW you want some....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I saw these adorable "Ball Drop" cupcakes on http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.blogspot.com/ and thought they were sooooo flippin' original and creative that I could NOT resist giving them a try!!!

I had my favorite baking friend come over and heres how they look!!!

Happy New Year to everyone! 

My wish is that 2011 is an amazing year for all!!

Need a quickie last minute gift idea??

Don't we ALL have that one person (or 5 haha) on our list that we just DON'T know what to buy and really....don't want to spend a lot of money for??!!  

I have the perfect idea!! Why not purchase some of these cute little cupcake ornaments?!  Its a gift that can be enjoyed year after year and c'mon...who doesn't love a cupcake? 

I only have 7 left and am selling them for $3.00 individually, $5.00 for two or $9.00 for a set of 4!

They fit perfectly into those cute little Chinese to-go-boxes from Michael's Craft Store (they're only a buck!)

Here's a few pics of the yummy treats that are hand crafted by yours truly!!

 These are "mini" cupcakes...not full/standard size.

Thanks for checking out the blog and

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Rum and Eggnog Cupcakes!!

These aren't the kind you drink, but the kind you devour!

Rum and Eggnog cupcakes baked to perfection, lightly brushed with rum butter, frosted with a creamy eggnog frosting and lightly dusted with cinnamon! YOWZA!

So let me just be honest...I am not a fan of eggnog at ALL, but after several requests and inquiries I decided to get a recipe together...and viola...here they are!

My house was filled with the amazing smells of nutmeg and rum and I WAS kind of interested in giving them a taste...so I did!  I have to admit, they were very good but very dense and rich!  I made them into minis and not only did they cook better, but they were just the perfect amount!

 I was asked to donate my cupcakes to the teachers of our local middle school for their holiday goodie baskets!! I hope they enjoy!!! We LOVE our teachers!!!!
