seeing stars

These cuties were a gift from my hubby to a co-worker who was leaving her job at MTS. Of course Gerardo let me make whatever kind of cupcakes I wanted...so...I thought these would be adorable! They would also be great for a birthday party or any other celebration. The cupcakes were vanilla with chocolate buttercream icing.




And.....of course, given that these cupcakes were for a MTS going away party, they needed a "Morty" cupcake! Haha! A Morty JUMBO cupcake!

let the good times roll!

How fun...cupcakes created with drinks in mind! I love it...haha!! My wonderful mother works at a Liquor Mart and when asked to make cupcakes for a staff meeting I have to admit I was really excited!! It was her idea to do something drink-themed so I decided to do 3 different drinks with accompaniments - martinis and olives, red wine and grapes, beer and pretzels.

These cupcakes were 3 kinds...vanilla, chocolate and lemon. All with buttercream icing and fondant decorations. These cupcakes would be super cute for a stagette or adult birthday party as well!

oh, baby!

These cupcakes were created for a long-time friend of mine, Ewa's, son's baptism. Baby Luka was born last December and his mom and dad held his baptism here a couple of weekends ago while visiting from Halifax. It is always great to see them when they come to town! Welcome baby Luka and congratulations Ewa, Daniel and Maya!

Luka's cupcakes were vanilla with buttercream icing, blue sugar sprinkles and fondant decorations. They would also be adorable for a baby shower! The bears are definitely my favourite!!

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!! ;)

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.
