go packers go!!

In my house we are HUGE Packers fans!! Lucky for us they WON THE SUPERBOWL!!! YAY!! I don't think I have ever seen Gerardo so excited for anything...not even our wedding! hehe! He still cheers every morning when he wakes up!

These cupcakes, however, were for my cousin, Teddy, who is a HUGE Packers fan as well. Teddy contacted me about making cupcakes for his lovely girlfriend, Julie, whose birthday was 2 days after the Superbowl. Of course I said yes thinking that I would have free reign to make beautiful, girly cupcakes for her...wrong!! His second request...could they please be packers themed??!! Lucky for Teddy, Julie is just as big a Packers fan as he! I knew she loved chocolate so atleast that was completely for her! Haha!

Happy 25th Birthday Julie!! ;)

to infinity and beyond!!

Happy 3rd birthday Koy!! Koy is my wonderful cousins' (Kelly and Nancy) son. They are our famous Portage cousins and of course I was delighted when we received the invite out to P-town for an evening of skating and celebration in honour of Koy's big day! They are always a blast to visit with...we had the best time!

Koy LOVES Buzz Lightyear! I even recall seeing some pictures along the way of him dressed in a Buzz Lightyear costume...and no, not for Halloween! Haha! Koy's cake was vanilla with vanilla whipped icing and a big fondant Buzz Lightyear on top! I owe the inspiration for this cake to Allison's Cakes.

Thank you Nancy, Kelly, Reilly, Ty and Koy for inviting us to be a part of Koy's party!! Also for your amazing hospitality at the after party!! ;)

flower garden

These beauties were made for my friend, Nidia's sister's birthday. I absolutely love how the icing looks like a rose with the contrast of the tiny pink flowers against the chocolate buttercream icing...so pretty! These would be gorgeous for a wedding, bridal shower, baby shower or birthday.

you're under arrest!

These cupcakes were a present from a good friend of mine, Jaclyn, to one of her coworkers who recently joined the police force. Who wouldn't love getting cupcakes for a present?! I have to admit that I had no idea what to make for police-themed cupcakes when she asked me. After some research I saw this picture and thought they were adorable! I loved making these cupcakes! They were marble flavoured with vanilla icing and fondant handcuffs, donuts, star badges, police hats and caution tape.

welcome olive!!

Meet the newest member of our family!! I know its not cupcakes buuuttttt she's cute so you'll forgive me! Haha! This is Olive, or Olie as she is becoming affectionately known. Olive is an 11 week old westie pup. We just got her last weekend and she is so wonderful. We love her to death! Baxter has adjusted fabulously to his new sister and we're loving every second of her puppy antics! She is definitely a lover, giving us lots of kisses and constantly wanting to be right beside Baxter...although most of the time bugging him to play with her! They get along great which is a huge relief. Her favourite place to be is stretched out on a register...too funny!

aidan's 3rd birthday

Aidan is 3!!! Wowser! I work with Aidan's mom, Amanda, and I cannot believe he is 3 already. Aidan is the sweetest, cutest, smartest, most polite 3 year old EVER! He is absolutely adorable and definitely deserved cupcakes that were as equally cute. Aidan LOVES Thomas the Tank Engine so it was no surprise that he recognized the theme of his cupcakes right away...phew! I have to say that it is super rewarding when a child is excited about his birthday cupcakes...makes me enjoy this even more!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Aidan!! Thank you Amanda, George and Aidan for letting me be a part of the party!

kelsey's birthday extravaganza!

These cupcakes were for Kelsey's 20-something birthday party a few weeks ago. I was pretty excited to make these given the new set of alphabet cutters I had just purchased. I have known Kelsey for a few years now...she is the best!! We have definitely had more than a few fun, memorable times...including a trip to GreenBay...GO PACKERS!!!!(Sorry...couldn't resist!). She is a wonderful, sweet person and an awesome friend. I am so glad to know her!!

Kelsey's cupcakes were chocolate with chocolate buttercream icing...mmmmm! I definitely love the little martini glasses...complete with olives... terribly cute!

Happy Birthday Kelsey!!
