kick it!

My wonderful, and completely adorable, friend Robert ordered these cupcakes as a gift to all of his fabulous dancers as a reward for a super long day of rehearsals last week. Robert works at Kickit Dance Studio. Half of the cupcakes had the name of the studio on them while the other half were the dance studio logo...a dancer, of course! These cupcakes were a blast to make :)

Thanks Robert!!! Hope everyone over at Kickit enjoyed them!!

hello... kitty

These super cute creations were made for my friend, Misty, for her daughter, Emily's, third birthday. Misty and I spent our last year of university together when Emily was just a tot...hard to believe how quickly they grow up! Emily loves Hello Kitty so what better way to celebrate than with Hello Kitty cupcakes!! Half of the cupcakes had Hello Kitty faces on them while the other had big red bows and the number "3".

Happy 3rd Birthday Emily!!!!!

welcome baby demi

These cupcakes were ordered by Jodi for a baby shower honouring the arrival of baby Demi last weekend. Love that name! Thanks Jodi for contacting me to make these cupcakes... hope you enjoyed them!!

Jodi's cupcakes were lemon and chocolate with buttercream icing and fondant decorations. A huge thanks to my sous baker for your help on this one ;)

big things come in small packages

Okay...this is the last post...finally! And what an awesome one it is!! These cupcakes were ordered by my very great, longtime friend, Chelsea, to celebrate the arrival of her new, beautiful niece, Sophia Marie. Sophia arrived on April 9th which also happens to be my mom`s birthday...very exciting! Gerardo and I have known Chelsea`s sister, Jenn, and Jenn`s husband, Jeremi, for many years as well and were thrilled about the arrival of their new baby. I even got a quick glimpse of her when I dropped off the cupcakes and she is definitely a keeper! :)

Congrats Chelsea on becoming an Auntie again!! Congrats Jenn, Jeremi, Emily and Travis on the addition of Sophia to your family! We can`t wait to watch her grow up!

Chelsea`s cupcakes were marble with pink buttercream icing and white pearl candies.

hoppy easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone!! What better way to celebrate Easter than with a cupcake (or 2)?!?! These cupcakes were for Amanda and Deanna. Deanna wanted extra icing on her cupcakes so you will notice that the ones in the last picture have a mountain of delicious buttercream on them! They look really pretty with the small white pearl candies on top.

Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and is recovering from turkey and chocolate induced comas quickly!! :)

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!!

rock a bye baby

When Jaclyn asked me to make skull cookies for her friend, Sophie's, baby shower I was super excited! How cute, fun and out-of-the-box! I don't know Sophie well but I do know that she works at a tattoo shop and would probably love something as nontraditional as skulls! Haha! I went through many ideas in my head of what these cookies should look like. But as soon as I saw the invitation I knew that I was going to do my best to replicate the image in edible form :) Check out the picture of the invitation at the end of this post.

Congratulations Sophie and a huge welcome to your baby girl coming soon!!

The cookies were sugar and cut individually by hand. The icing was almond flavoured with a fondant bow.
