Colleen turns 50!

One of my very best friends' moms turned 50 a few weeks ago! She has such an amazing family... they planned several "fake-out" parties to fool Colleen into thinking the celebrations were overwith, and then they hit her with the real surprise... a masquerade party with all of her friends and family!

When Erica asked me to make cupcakes and a cake for Colleen's party, I was THRILLED!

Thanks for letting me be a part of such a fun party Erica and Colleen!

Chocolate!

A friend asked me to make some cupcakes for her best friend's birthday! She told me a few things about her... she is girly and she loves chocolate... ALL kinds!

I knew I wanted to combine dark and white chocolate. I decided to make dark chocolate cupcakes with chocolate mousse and white chocolate cream cheese frosting. They came out PERFCTLY! Yum!

Baby Shower

I recently made some mini cupcakes for a baby shower that a friend was throwing for one of her co-workers. My friend, Erica, chose a few of her favorite "girly" flavors for the event!

The first flavor on the menu were these little lemon cupcakes with raspberry buttercream... Yum!

She also requested pink champagne cupcakes with champagne buttercream, perfect for such a girly event!

I hope the mom-to-be had a lovely baby shower!

Candycane Cupcakes!

My aunt approached me during the holidays to ask if I would be willing to make cupcakes for her to sell at a Christmas Bazaar, where she was raising money for the Relay for Life. Auntie Edith has been a dedicated breast cancer awareness fundraiser for as long as I've known her, and spends more time raising money for those in need than anyone else I know. I was thrilled about the opportunity and when she suggested something "festive" i thought candy cane was perfect!

These cupcakes were a rich devils food chocolate cake with candy cane buttercream and a gum paste breast cancer ribbon!

Thanks for thinking of me Auntie E!
