Easter Flowers

 Spring has sprung! What better way to ring in Easter than with cinnamon? And lots of it! The sweets  were for a ladies business luncheon just before Easter. The cupcakes are carrot cake (of course) topped with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Yummy!! I tried out a tip that I've been wanting to use for some time. So glad these ladies let me use some creativity on these treats.

Peace Love & Happiness!

 Oh what I wouldn't give to be nine again!

This event brought me back to childhood. Growing up in the eighties neon was all the rage (yes, I just said that!). We went all out with polka dots, peace signs, hearts, initials & NEON! This was a purple velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and lots of cute details.

 By far my favorite color frosting! So vibrant & stands out against the purple chocolate cake.

Super Birthday Bowl

What goes better with cupcakes than... Football? Well, not exactly a common combo but this last weekend I had the privilege of creating cupcakes for my son & husband's birthday. It was no easy feat. My husband Hates sweets & my son, whom celebrated his 1st birthday, is lactose intolerant & of course must stay away from the normal baby no- no's {honey, peanut butter, nuts}.
I decided to go with a dark chocolate cake with a light cream cheese frosting however for the baby I just altered the frosting.
They turned out great, moist but not too sweet! Check out the photos I snapped of the goodies!

The Golden Years



I had the pleasure of being chosen to make cupcakes for a very special couple celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary this Saturday. Their children did an amazing job transforming Robert Livermore Center's Cresta Blanca Ballroom into an golden paradise! The room was decorated in gold and black with beautiful high ceilings and black & white feather centerpieces, personalized waters and excellent food. The couple is from Puerto Rico so island- like foods and drinks were served.

They choose a Pina Colada mini cupcake: coconut, pineapple & coconut rum cake with a coconut rum cream cheese frosting. As well as, Island Brownie mini cupcake: coconut chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache and a Bavarian chocolate coconut frosting.   

 They played Latin music that got everyone on the dance floor & their granddaughter made a slide show of their fifty years together that was priceless. any generations in one room sharing the love and support of this couple was a beautiful sight!

Thank you for letting us witness and be a part of such an amazing landmark accomplishment in your lives.

Here's to fifty more years!

A special guppies turned 3!

The Birthday Guppie!

I started this company with my family in mind. As you know, my flavors are designed after a family member-- not by chance, and this party was such a pleasure to do! It was my son Kohen's 3rd birthday and I tried to pick flavors I know he would love. 

We decided on a chocolate & vanilla cake combo... first there was a Snickerdoodle cupcake {pictured to the left}: a cinnamon and sugar cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. 

Second, a Raspberry Red Velvet cupcake {pictured to the right}: raspberry red velvet cake with white chocolate raspberry cream cheese frosting. I also made a few spice cake since my dad {I gasp at this...} hates frosting! But I know you frosting haters are out there so I am happy to accomidate! ;)

Fruity Pebbles

Fruit is our friend! I received an order for a "repeat" Frostings lover. :) He first tried our Nuetella Chocolate cupcakes at a cousin's birthday party. This time it was HIS birthday & grandma ordered some tasty treats to celebrate!  Pictured is the Kahlua Banana; a custom flavor and adult treat. ;)  It is Kahlua chocolate cake with a banana pudding center & a light Kahlua buttercream frosting. The second is the Strawberry Blondie {a regular on the menu}. This cupcake is made similar to a blondie brownie {aka brownie without the chocolate}. It's a brown sugar cake with fresh strawberry cream cheese frosting. I opted for less pink than usual since he a BOY! I am also making his birthday party cupcakes at his upcoming party. Keep a look out for his event photos!

Birthday Bash Weekend

It's the summer and what better way to ring in the summer season than with a birthday bash weekend. We were busy with two birthday events on opposite sides of the age spectrum! Early saturday was a pool party theme for a 6 year old adorable girl! Lemon cupcakes topped with a Rainier cherry & Strawberry Overload cupcakes topped with a {classy} High School Musical stamp ring as the party favor! It was perfect weekend for a splash in the pool and we hope that little miss enjoyed her extra special day!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later in the evening the next event was an 'Vintage' 30th birthday party for a dear friend of mine's husband. His wife put together an amazing spread of food; I sooo wanted to eat it all! She had thought of every detail, right down to the chocolate fountain and sarcastic napkins! She supplied her own {pretty nifty} spinning cupcake stand; I must get one, to hold the Strawberry with strawberry buttercream & Lemon Cupcakes!
