something old, something new...

Sooooo...this much I know is true...I am a HORRIBLE blogger :S Ugghhhhh!!!! Seems like the cupcake life gets away from me sometimes and before I know it I am 3 or 4 (or more) blog entries behind. I suppose that it a sign of booming business so I shouldn't complain! Haha! I am weeks away from the last year of my twenty-somethings so I figured I should make a birthday resolution this year...to keep up with the blogging!!! As for right now I will get caught up :)

First out of the gates are some absolutely adorable bridal shower cupcakes for my friend Jennifer Webber over at Wink Wedding and Event Planning. Jen ordered these cupcakes for her friend Vanessa's celebration. I LOVE monogrammed cupcakes for a personalized touch. The hearts were pretty cute too!

Hope you enjoyed the cupcakes! Congrats Vanessa!!

a vintage feel

These cupcakes were made for my friend, and wedding planner extraordinaire (I could not have been sane on my wedding day without her!! lol), Jenn. Jenn ordered these cupcakes for her future sister-in-law's bridal shower. The wedding is going to have a neutral palette with a vintage feel so I thought that ivory, peach and light pink roses, bows and pearls would be beautiful and perfectly girly :) I am in love with the giant rose on top of a cupcake... imagine a cupcake tower covered in pretty fondant rose cupcakes...I love it! You will have to forgive me for the lighting in the following pictures. The light was not cooperating with me this particular evening :(

Jenn's cupcakes were vanilla with buttercream icing... a classic combination :)

For all your event planning needs check out Jenn's website... Wink Wedding and Event Planning. She truly is the best!!

wedded bliss

I was recently contacted by Dorota, a friend of mine from University, who needed cupcakes for a bridal shower. Her friend, Chelsea, is getting married this summer to Chris and the theme of their wedding is C-squared... SO cute! Their wedding colours are chocolate brown and Birks' blue...beautiful! We decided that brown and blue monogram wafers on top of chocolate buttercream icing would look great and taste absolutely decadent. I think they turned out amazing! I am a huge fan of monogrammed cupcakes...they look really sharp and I love the way they look stacked on a cupcake stand :)






Dorota also asked me to make bride sugar cookies as take-home gifts for the bridal shower guests. The cookies were decorated with a blue flower and brown ribbon to match the wedding colours. This was my first attempt at fancy sugar cookies and I was really very excited with how they turned out. What a great idea for a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party or any event where a small token of appreciation for your guests is needed. Who doesn't love a delicious sugar cookie?!?!





The cookies were packaged in clear bags and finished with brown, stamped "thank you" tags and a Birks' blue ribbon...
